Stolt Container Terminal Houston (SCTH) is undertaking major investment bringing cutting-edge technology, increased automation and enhanced sustainability to allow more flexible tank cleaning services.
With this upgrade, SCTH says it is setting a new global benchmark for tank container cleaning in North America, offering a new level of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
SCTH will double daily cleaning capacity, allowing for quicker tank turnaround and minimising delays. With additional drive-through cleaning bays for hard-to-clean products, baffle and compartment tanks, and tank trailers, the facility can serve a wider range of customer needs.
On implementation is an automated trolley cleaning system, significantly reducing manual intervention and increasing safety for workers while ensuring a consistent, high-quality clean. This cutting-edge approach minimises human exposure to hazardous environments, reinforcing SCTH's commitment to operational excellence and worker well-being.
A new wastewater treatment plant will allow SCTH to reuse up to 70 percent of the water from the cleaning process.
