Tank Cleaning and Decontamination

Oil and fuel tanks require regular decontamination to remove solid material that builds up during operation.

Econ has extensive experience in emptying and cleaning a range of tanks and vessels containing contaminants ,solids, chemicals or incompatible products.

Given such a wide range or products in storage from chemicals to crude oil, it is not surprising that tank cleaning is regarded as a hazardous occupation. However with the correct equipment and training and with the right resources and supervision the problems can be safely overcome
Despite the many technological developments in recent years, the need for man entry is a necessity. However we are able to reduce the need for man entry until the very end, using tank cleaning machines we are able to clean 90% of a storage tank without an operator ever setting foot in a confined space. Depending on the standard the client wished to achieve, man entry may only be needed to HP water jet the floor and the walls in order to facilitate inspection.

We work within our clients agenda and custom-fit the services to the specific cleaning need. Whether the tank system requires a change of product, periodic cleaning, maintenance or closure, we can develop a method to achieve the desired cleanliness standard.
