We’re pleased to announce that we are making a major investment in our Stolt Container Terminal Houston (SCTH), bringing cutting-edge technology, increased automation, and enhanced sustainability to provide customers with faster, safer, and more flexible tank cleaning services. 

With this state-of-the-art upgrade, SCTH will set a new global benchmark for tank container cleaning in North America, offering a new level of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

Faster turnaround, increased capacity

The new SCTH cleaning facility will double daily cleaning capacity, allowing for quicker tank turnaround and minimizing delays. With additional drive-through cleaning bays for hard-to-clean products, baffle and compartment tanks, and tank trailers, we can serve a wider range of customer needs than ever before.
 

Advanced safety & automation

We are implementing 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 minimizes human exposure to hazardous environments, reinforcing our commitment to operational excellence and worker well-being.


Sustainable & responsible cleaning

Our investment in a new wastewater treatment plant will allow us to reuse up to 70% of the water from the cleaning process. This means a greener, more sustainable cleaning operation while maintaining the highest industry standards. Sustainability is our priority, and we’re making sure our customers benefit from eco-friendly solutions that align with global environmental goals.

A fully integrated cleaning solution

By expanding our cleaning capabilities, we ensure compatibility with a wider range of chemical and food-grade tanks, all within one location. Whether you require cleaning for hazardous materials, food-grade products, or specialized tanks, SCTH will have the expertise and infrastructure to handle it efficiently and safely.

Investing in your supply chain success

Dennis Verduyn, STC’s Global Depots Director, emphasizes the impact of this investment: “We’re excited to upgrade our Houston infrastructure to better serve our customers, offering market-leading safety and sustainability standards. With new technologies, more capacity, and unprecedented efficiency, we are reinforcing our commitment to serving the North American market.” 

By investing in Houston, we are strengthening our ability to support your business needs with superior cleaning, shorter turnaround times, and sustainable solutions, ensuring you can keep your tank containers on the move with confidence.

We know that business continuity is critical. That’s why we are delivering this project in two phases, ensuring that SCTH remains operational throughout construction. Customers can continue to rely on us for consistent, high-quality tank cleaning services while we build for the future.
