1. Treatment of N.O.R.M. containing hydrocarbon sludge:
TankTech have worked closely with a major client over the last 12 months to gain approval from S.E.P.A (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency) to treat the NORM containing sludge in order to remove the hydrocarbon content. This will reduce the volume of sludge by 90 -95% and thus greatly reduce the cost for storage/disposal. Agreement for a trial has recently been agreed and will take place in December 2005.

2. Crude Tank Decontamination in Malaysia:
TankTech have evaluated a sample of sludge from a crude oil storage tank in Malaysia and are preparing to carry out a full site survey prior to submitting a proposal for completing the project in conjunction with a local company as an alliance partner.

3. Crude Tank Decontamination in the Far East:
TankTech are currently evaluating samples from crude oil storage tanks in the Far East to enable us to bid for a contract for cleaning and decontamination of a total of 14 tanks.

4. Process Plant Decontamination:
TankTech are currently preparing for decontamination of a refinery process plant and a crude stabilisation train in the UK for completion in 2006
