KX-91 Successful in Tank Remediation Project In Nigeria

SECAUCUS, N.J., Aug. 19  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- To further substantiate the true potential of United Energy's KX-91, we are pleased to announce the successful remediation of Tank 19 at the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) Brass facility in Nigeria.

For a prolonged period of time Tank 19 has been mostly off line due to excessive sludge build-up. Faced with the time consuming and the environmental issues associated with other methods of sludge treatment, AGIP selected KX-91, which has been approved by the Nigerian Department of Petroleum (DPR), as a sludge remediation chemical.  After a six day regiment of KX-91 administered by our partner in Nigeria -- (Facility Solutions Limited), the tank was certified to be free of sludge. In addition to protecting the environment, AGIP actually benefited by recovering 25,780 BBLS of oil trapped in the sludge that may certainly have been lost using any other method of treatment. The process more than paid for itself considering the value of crude oil in the world market today.

With a repeated achievement by Facility Solutions Limited using KX-91 (as in similar project with NAOC in 2005) there is no longer any doubt about the efficacy of the chemical. DPR is also looking at the issue more closely with a view to recommending the chemical to other oil companies in the country with similar challenges in containing the menace of sludge. KX-91 provides oil industry operators with the combined benefit of recovering wasted sludge and avoiding unwholesome dumping practices which damage the environment. Facility Solutions Limited is hoping to extend its operations further by engaging other companies using the proven tested KX-91 chemical.
