Innovating Crude Oil Sludge Solutions
Founded in the Permian Basin, Texas, in 2000, Hydrocarbon Solutions (HCS) emerged from a groundbreaking innovation when Jack and Lynn McLean helped a neighbor solve a crude oil sludge issue. This led to the development of industry-leading sludge recovery and pipeline cleaning solutions, transforming waste into valuable crude oil. Since our official inception in 2003, HCS has expanded globally, with headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and a regional office in Dubai, UAE. Our cutting-edge technologies optimize efficiency, sustainability, and operational performance, reducing environmental impact and supporting global carbon reduction efforts while maximizing crude oil recovery for the oil and gas industry.
- Reducing environmental impact and optimizing energy use.
- Focused on quality solutions for the oil industry.
- Offices in Dallas, Texas, and Dubai, UAE, serving clients internationally.

Eco-friendly Technology for a sustainable Environment
The "HCS Crude Oil Tank Sludge Converter" is designed not only to convert sludge into crude oil but also to promote a sustainable environment by reducing the carbon footprint. The job is carried out by introducing our specialty solvent chemical into the crude oil sludge tank using external equipment.
The precise ratio of our "Specialty Chemical Solvent" to the volume of "Tank Bottom Sludge" and diluent, along with the mixing capacity of our mechanical equipment, is critical to the entire sludge conversion process.
All this is done without man-entry inside the tank while ensuring the utmost safety to prevent potential hazards. Before execution, our on-site technical team follows the highest safety standards, which include obtaining a "SAFE WORK PERMIT" from the refinery or tank farm operations supervisor, conducting a toolbox talk at the site, and using radio communication equipment with the team.
