A Complete Guide to Meeting Your Chemical Logistics Needs with All Chemical We love to provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the workings of All Chemical. You’ve met a few of our stellar staff members, and regularly hear from members of our leadership team, like our Founder and Owner, Steve Quadrel.

Now, we’re peering behind the curtain to look deeper into the process our team conducts with existing customers expanding their services with us, or customers that are new to All Chemical.

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions our team receives. From our team to yours – here’s a helpful recap to continue to fulfill your service needs with us.

Q: How will we work together?

A: We’ve made it a best practice to dive into the “who, what, when, where, and why” of our customer’s needs to gather all of the necessary details we need to be your seamless, reliable, one-stop-shop partner for your bulk liquid transportation needs. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for all of our customers’ needs and going above and beyond to take on jobs others cannot, will not, and do not.

We will take the time to learn more about your company, your needs and pain points and provide a contract for our services. If you agree to it, we’ll collect the necessary billing information and get started with your chemical transportation needs.

Q: Why All Chemical?

A: We’re a family-owned business, serving our community since 1978. We are well-known industry leaders, early adopters of technology and innovative pioneers. We have a strong focus on excelling in safety, compliance, and customer service. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop-shop for all of our customers’ needs and going above and beyond to take on jobs others cannot, will not, and do not.

Q: Tell me about your safety and compliance standards.

A: Our standards are high and our efforts are rigorous! Our truck drivers and staff are well trained and expertly qualified.

Ours is 5%.

In addition to our unparalleled safety standards and top-of-the-line equipment, the secret is a mix of competitive pay, high-quality healthcare and retirement benefits. We aim to be here when and where you need us with our dedicated, customer-focused team.

Q: What additional services are you offering due to the recent construction?

A: We finished construction upgrades on our Lakewood, NJ HQ to greatly increase our capacity, enabling us to handle much larger volumes of product while maintaining our high safety standards. This includes 2 new wash bays, 16 additional steam stations, 4 new ISO container storage pads, and a state of the art wastewater treatment facility.

That means more tanks and trailers to wash and steam for you!

Here’s a reminder of our steam and wash options:

Tank Washing:

• Standard chemical washes

We are the trusted providers for power, water, and pharmaceutical companies and regularly carry glycerin, caustic, bleach, ethanol, acetone, methanol, and transformer oil.

If you don’t see your product on this list, and have unique storage and chemical needs, give us a call!  We’re prepared down to the smallest detail, and we always follow through. It would be our pleasure to help.

An Insider’s Look at All Chemical’s Tank Leasing ServicesAt All Chemical, we’re a customer-first bunch, and that means there is no job that we can’t, won’t, or don’t do! (In our industry, that is. We don’t do your taxes or anything.) From washing and steaming to storage and leasing, our valued customers need look no further for all their bulk liquid transportation needs.

You may already be familiar with our tank washing and steaming here at All Chemical. Maybe you’ve experienced our services firsthand, or perhaps you’ve read our behind-the-scenes look at our steaming and washing processes.

Since we have such a large fleet, we also offer tank leasing services!

How Tank Leasing Works

It begins when we receive your call inquiring about leasing a trailer. Our team then verifies the type of product you need to load onto the trailer: an essential step of due diligence, ensuring we lease you a trailer that’s compatible with your product.

We have the fleet capacity to lease to customers for a variety of loads:

• Chemical trailers
• Food-grade trailers
• Kosher-Certified trailers
• ISO Container chassis

For new customers, we’ll send you a credit application. After receiving approval, we then proceed with setting up your trailer for lease. Once we’ve verified your product, our dispatch team checks our trailer availability and assigns your trailer number.

If you’re an existing customer, we can move straight to the trailer setup, and your trailer can be ready in as little as 24–48 hours.

After the trailer setup, we dispatch a Master Lease Agreement and addendum that you sign and return to us with a COI for each leased trailer. This agreement outlines your responsibilities under the lease, while the addendum includes information about the trailer, lease terms, and cost. Lease lengths vary, from a single day to several months, a full year, or even multiple years!

Why Lease with All Chemical?

So, why choose All Chemical for your tank leasing needs? It’s simple. We offer:

• better capacity
• greater flexibility
• and a more streamlined service experience.

Our fleet capacity at All Chemical is broader than most other bulk liquid transportation companies can provide. Nearly all of our trailers are DOT 407’s, which means they’re designed to transport a wide range of products. Moreover, Kosher-certified carriers like us are hard to come by, and we have the ability to lease Kosher-certified tanks. Our large fleet of FRP tankers are particularly well-suited for carrying commodities corrosive to metal.

Then there’s the flexibility you enjoy as an All Chemical customer. When leasing our trailers, you can choose from an array of pickup and return options. Those who prefer to handle the logistics themselves can collect a trailer from our main terminal in Lakewood and return it to the same location. For those preferring an even more streamlined experience, we also offer delivery services, bringing the trailer directly to your chosen job site.

When you sign with All Chemical, you’re signing on to an optimized, one-stop-shop experience. As with our washing, steaming, and storage services, our tank leasing is conducted entirely in-house, and our fleet is large enough to allow us to provide leasing services without the slightest disruption to our other operations. We eliminate multiple vendor syndrome so that you have the peace of mind that comes with a single point of contact.

Kosher-Certified Transportation at All Chemical

At our bulk liquid transport company, we take care of our people: our team and our customers.

We care about what matters to them. We tune in to their needs so that we can deliver excellent service that meets – and surpasses – their expectations.

This is the value that drove us to create our Kosher-certified transportation service offerings. For some companies, kosher services are just another market opportunity. But that’s not how we see it at All Chemical.

We recognize that kosher certification isn’t just a question of regulations—it’s also about deeply held beliefs and heritage. That matters to us, and it’s why we strive to be both knowledgeable of the requirements of high-quality Kosher-certified transportation and attuned to their crucial significance.

What Does “Kosher-Certified” Entail?

Kosher certification refers to the strict requirements of kosher dietary laws for cleanliness, purity, quality, and preparation, as set forth by trusted rabbinic agencies.

When a product is marked Kosher-certified, it means that a rabbinic authority has inspected not only the product’s ingredients, but also the production facility itself—as well as every stage of actual production—to ensure that all ingredients, derivatives, tools, and machinery have no trace of non-kosher substances. As a Kosher-certified carrier, All Chemical has gone through a thorough process called kosherizing.

Under the supervision of a rabbi, our facility has been inspected to ensure that our equipment and all areas of our production lines have been cleaned and purged of non-kosher status, which can involve steaming, boiling, or even direct contact with flames.

In keeping with rabbinic protocol, this process was only completed after the equipment stood idle for at least 24 hours, followed by a rabbinical inspection.

With the Kosher-Certified symbol, consumers can be assured that all Kosher Law requirements were met or exceeded during production. Our team is well-versed in the intricacies of these laws, so customers can trust that their product is in good hands with us.

Our Kosher-Certified  Bulk Liquid Transport Services

The kosher food industry represents a large portion of the world.

In North America alone, its market size is about $16 million. Worldwide, these numbers rise: the Orthodox Union (OU) Kosher—the largest, most widely recognized international kosher certification agency—certifies over one million products in more than a hundred countries around the world.

We knew we’d seek kosher certification with this best-known trademark; their standards of excellence align well with our own, after all. As a Kosher-certified carrier, All Chemical has the equipment and washing processes in place to haul any product certified as kosher.

We also offer two types of Kosher-certified washes:

• Kosher maintenance washes
• “Re-kosherization” washes

Our Kosher maintenance washes take tanks already in kosher service through multiple steps in a thorough cleaning process to keep them up to the highest certification standards. First, we do a 190-degree interior wash, followed by a Kosher-certified detergent and a second, thorough rinse to ensure no residue remains. After this, we steam the interior, opening the “pores” in the stainless steel to flush any residual odors out of the tank. The result? Exceptionally clean containers that are primed and ready for the next job.

Our second type of wash—the re-kosherization wash—allows us to upgrade any piece of equipment to Kosher-certified specifications. We can take tanks in non-kosher service (standard chemicals, in other words) and put them through a specific series of washes that bring them up to the strict regulatory requirements for any piece of Kosher-certified equipment. This goes for tankers or containers that have been out of kosher service for a while, too. Our thorough, Kosher-compliant washing process can return them to the Kosher-certified status they once had, rendering them ready to serve the needs of this important and robust sector.

So, if you’re planning ahead for this year’s Jewish High Holidays, or simply looking for a Kosher-certified bulk liquid transport company you can trust, contact us! We have the expertise required to deliver seamless service in the growing, vital world of Kosher-certified transportation.

Inside All Chemical’s Steam And Wash Services

How We Bring You Unparalleled Customer Service

Picture the scene: it’s Friday, 4 PM. We’re on the phone with a customer, and they are panicking. They need a delivery with ISO tank container steam heating services by Monday morning. Normally, they schedule ahead, but the customer sent them a last-minute order.  Or, they were so busy putting out some internal fires at their own company that they forgot to book the steaming.

They’ve had this happen before on deliveries with other companies, only to be told Sorry, no rush orders. Call back during Monday business hours.

“I know this is last minute, but can we get a delivery at temp on Monday? Product has to be at 120 F.”

That Monday —after pulling their product from its place 35 back in the stack, setting it through the steam process, and delivering it on time—the customer called us.

They were ecstatic. “I’ve never had this level of service before! I can’t believe it.”

All Chemical: ISO Tank Heating Services and Rush Jobs 

Look, we all know scheduling ISO tank container steam services, and really anything in general, in advance is ideal, and most of the orders we receive come with plenty of notice. But let’s be honest: sometimes, life happens. And when it does, we at All Chemical pride ourselves on offering our customers weekend and off-hour services, when most other companies can’t or won’t.

Plus, our services are a one-stop-shop kind of deal: we couple product steaming with interior tank and container washing to provide customers with the highest all-around convenience factor. Once the load has been steamed and delivered, we can bring back the tank or ISO container to the lot for a full wash. 

Behind the Scenes: What’s in a Steaming?

So, how do we do it? It all starts by gathering the necessary information via a “steam sheet”: the container number, background info on the product, start and finish date, target temperature range, and the anticipated time it will take to steam the product to the specified parameters.

That time varies with ISO tank heating. Some products steam in a day, or even in a couple hours. Some need to go as high as 200 degrees F. Other products we handle require “1 bar” or low-pressure steam to avoid burning the product or overheating.  This could have severe consequences both for safety as well as for the integrity of the product. Sometimes, the product has been stored for months in advance at ambient temperatures, or even stored cold in stacks on concrete pads in containment; in these cases, steaming can take longer (up to 4–6 days in some cases).

When the product has reached the right temperature, it’s ready for us to deliver.

How Are All Chemical’s ISO Container Steam Heating Services Unique?

At All Chemical, we’re knowledgeable of all the factors related to our steam services, and we coordinate for our customers from that foundation of expertise.

In addition to our overall expertise, we boast these unique options:

• Low- and high-pressure capabilities
• Steam-regulating capabilities
• Hot Water Heating (this is rare for most wash racks)
• Capability to put 50+ containers out on a steam
• Redundancy with two independent steam boilers
• 24/7/365 On-call boiler maintenance (if there’s an issue, we fix it immediately)
• 24/7 monitoring with fixed interval monitoring as required by the customer 

And not only can we accommodate unique steam requests, we provide tank washing: standard chemical washes, food-grade washes, Kosher-grade and Kosher-maintenance washes, and diesel washes.

So, don’t wait till you’re panicking at the close of business day on Friday. Reach out to us today for your steam service needs.

How All Chemical Can Help You with Your Water Treatment Needs This Summer

Heavy Rains and Fluctuating Temperatures Often Impact Water’s Biological and Chemical Properties

The summer months bring plenty of changes. School lets out, lawns need mowing, and mosquitos emerge to torment us all once more. For some of our customers, the summer months are when water treatment becomes an urgent need—and as an accomplished liquid bulk transportation company,  All Chemical is here to help.

Our Expertise Handling Water Treatment Products

With our extensive experience handling products specific to water treatment, All Chemical’s bulk tanker carriers can deliver the loads you need safely and right on time. Whether you’ve hired us to haul to a private facility, a municipal water authority, or a wastewater treatment center, you can feel confident that we have the resources available, and the know-how to deliver to you—fast.

Our customers know they can rely on us for many reasons. Importantly, we own and maintain our own fleet of liquid bulk tankers and carriers. In addition to our over 250 stainless steel tankers, we also have 35 FRP trailers and 5 innovative CFRP tankers by Omni Tanker. These tanks are used to transport corrosive materials used in water treatment.

This gives us an edge as a liquid bulk transportation company, providing our customers streamlined services for a variety of projects. Our fleet has extensive experience transporting many of the highest-demand water treatment agents, including but not limited to:

• Bleach
• Caustic
• Hydrochloric Acid
• Ferric Chloride
• Phosphoric Acid
• Fluorosilicic Acid

Why Summer Makes Challenges for Water Treatment

Summer isn’t the only time we’re hauling treatment agents for our customers. Water treatment happens year-round, which means our bulk tanker carriers are hauling the needed agents year-round, too.

But in the summer, the demand for treatment agents skyrockets: meaning less-prepared, less-experienced carriers might saddle you with shipping delays and facility shutdowns. If other liquid bulk transportation companies can’t deliver, All Chemical has the capacity to take on those last-minute, late afternoon, or even weekend orders.

Why the skyrocketing demand in summer? Because water treatment is all about managing biological and chemical changes, and these changes are temperature-dependent. Just like the heat brings the mosquitos back, the summer temperatures make chemical reactions speed up, necessitating more frequent water treatments.

That’s why All Chemical’s timely services are so important to have on your side in the summer months. With our expertise and forethought, we work with our customers to plan for their facility’s needs. We can be relied on to get the necessary chemicals to where they are needed, when they are needed.

So, don’t wait until a summer shipment delay has you panicking.

Give us a call, and sit back and enjoy the summer while we handle your ongoing water treatment needs with competence, timeliness, and ease.

And maybe buy a citronella candle, while you’re at it. (Mosquitos aren’t really our department.)
