- Our own 2026 equipment
A unit manufactured in 2026 with updated technology, current maintenance and valid certifications.
- Confined-space access
Vacuum technology extracts fluids from pits, tank bottoms and areas with limited mechanical access.
- No direct contact
Operators do not come into contact with the fluid, reducing exposure risks from hazardous or toxic substances.
- Full traceability
We issue waste manifests and volume reports for each operation to support regulatory compliance.

What is vacuum transfer?
Vacuum transfer creates a pressure difference that draws fluid into the unit's tank. Unlike positive-pressure pumping, vacuum works by suction, allowing fluid extraction from confined spaces, pits, tank bottoms and hard-to-reach locations.

Which fluids is it designed for?
The vacuum unit is specifically designed for challenging industrial fluids:
- Asphaltic sludge: semi-solid residue from tank bottoms and pipelines
- Drilling and completion muds (water-based and oil-based)
- Produced water with high concentrations of solids and sediment
- Spilled heavy and extra-heavy crude, or oil in pits
- Fluids containing suspended solids (cuttings, formation sand)
- Industrial effluents containing heavy metals or high salinity
- Storage tank cleaning residues
- Contaminated rainwater at oilfield locations
Other names for this service
In the industry, this service is also known as:
- Vacuum truck services for oil & gas
- Drilling fluid suction and transport
- Crude oil storage tank cleaning
- High Vacuum Units (HVU) for the oil industry
- Industrial effluent and hazardous waste management
- Sludge extraction using a vacuum tanker truck
- Heavy and extra-heavy crude transfer
Operating process
Our vacuum operations follow a controlled, documented procedure:
- 1. Site inspection and assessment of the fluid to be extracted
- 2. Strategic positioning of the vacuum unit
- 3. Grounding system installation (required for volatile fluids)
- 4. Suction hose connection using certified 4-inch couplings
- 5. Starting the NVE compressor and drawing a vacuum in the tank
- 6. Controlled suction with level and pressure monitoring
- 7. Transport to the disposal or treatment site
- 8. Discharge and equipment cleaning
- 9. Waste manifest issuance, where applicable
How does vacuum transfer differ from conventional pumping?
Conventional pumping pushes fluid using positive pressure, while vacuum draws it in using negative pressure. Vacuum is particularly suitable for extracting fluids from enclosed spaces, tank bottoms and pits, as well as semi-solid materials that cannot flow on their own.
Can you handle fluids containing volatile gases or H2S?
Yes. The unit has a certified grounding system (1/0 gauge Copperweld rod) and sealed valves for handling fluids containing H2S or volatile gases. Personnel use certified respiratory protection equipment.
How long does it take to fill the vacuum tank?
Filling time depends on fluid viscosity and suction distance. For water-based fluids or light muds, filling the 160 Bbl tank takes approximately 45–90 minutes. Asphaltic sludge or highly viscous materials may take 2–4 hours.
Where is the extracted material taken?
The destination depends on the material: reusable fluids go to storage tanks, produced water to authorized injection wells, and hazardous waste to certified final disposal companies. We issue waste manifests for traceability.
