Claim:
A system for processing material stored in an underground storage tank having a tank riser, the system comprising: a mobile processing module, the processing module including a flexible connection system having a first end that sealingly and releasably attaches to the tank riser and a second end that sealingly attaches to the processing module, such that the flexible connection system provides a sealed fluid passageway between the tank and the processing module; a pump and a flexible hose having a first end attached to receive effluent from the pump, and a second end; a deployment system in the processing module for deploying the pump from the processing module, through the flexible connection system and into the underground storage tank, such that effluent from the tank can be pumped by the pump through the flexible hose; a separator disposed in the processing module and fluidly connected to the flexible hose to receive effluent from the pump; and a control module disposed remotely from the processing module, and connected to the processing module such that deployment of the pump is controlled from the control module.
