Have you ever walked into a room and the aroma was pleasant – like a sweet lavender or citrus? Those will get your tank rejected in a heartbeat. By definition, a clean tank must be “odor free.” If it smells like deodorizers that we enjoy for home and institutional usage, the tank may be deemed “dirty.”

The simple solution to this potential problem, is to use deodorizing and/or encapsulation products that perform the function of a) delivering an un-identifiable aroma of freshness, and b) encapsulating offending molecules so that they are much heavier than air, and sink to the bottom of the tank where they are easily drained out.

VAPO-SORB®

VAPO-SORB® is a highly concentrated blend of buffered acid and glycol ether formulated for the tank washing industry. Used in vapor scrubbers, it captures and neutralizes strong, objectionable odors from chemical vapors such as amines, mercaptans, and acrylates. By reducing harmful emissions, VAPO-SORB® improves worker safety, minimizes environmental impact, and enhances community relations. With its high neutralization capacity and long-lasting performance, it provides an efficient, reliable solution for controlling hazardous vapors during tank and ISO container cleaning.

VAPO-SCRUB

VAPO-SCRUB is a super-concentrated, non-foaming blend of essential oils engineered for the tank washing industry. Specifically formulated to mask objectionable vapors released during cleaning, it provides a safer environment for employees while helping facilities maintain good relationships with nearby businesses and communities. Easy to use in vapor scrubbers, VAPO-SCRUB delivers long-lasting odor control and can be paired with John-Henry VAPO-SORB® for enhanced effectiveness.

GAMMA SPRAY

When an economical deodorizer desired, John-Henry GAMMA SPRAY® delivers a pleasant aroma, especially after steaming a tank with just a small amount inside. The end result is a tank smells “fresh,” but the operator will not readily identify the particular fragrance. Were it cherry or citrus, for example, it could be perceived that benzaldehyde or d-limonene was present – then the rejection.

GAMMA NEBULA

As with Gamma Spray, GAMMA NEBULA® delivers an unidentifiable aroma, but with an odor encapsulating feature, that engulfs offending molecules, and as they become heavier than air, they precipitate to the bottom of the tank, where liquid is drained out. This product is an excellent way to finish an acrylate wash, as the starting alcohols can be quite odorous. It is also an excellent additive for a vapor scrubber solution.
