Importance of Regular Industrial Process Tank Cleaning

We recommend cleaning your industrial process tanks every six to 12 months. However, the exact cleaning frequency depends on the tank’s material, what it is used for, or what is stored in it. You also must schedule regular tank inspections and maintenance. Professional tank cleaning services are crucial for maintaining the lifespan, safety, and operation of your tanks. The benefits of industrial tank cleaning include:

• Improved worker safety and reduced risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals and gases
• Greater product integrity due to the removal of residue and prevention of cross-contamination
• Enhanced equipment longevity and reduced risk of corrosion, wear, and tear
• Lower chance of premature tank replacement or costly tank repairs

How Are Industrial Process Tanks Cleaned?

There are a few different cleaning methods used for industrial tanks. The method used will depend on the type of tank you have, its age and condition, where it is located, and what it is used for or what it stores. Some of the most common techniques for industrial process tank cleaning include:

• High-Pressure Water Jet Cleaning – Also called hydroblasting, this method uses powerful jets of water to blast away years of built-up sludge, scale, and other deposits from the walls, floor, and lid of your tank.
• Chemical Cleaning – For this method of industrial storage tank cleaning, we use specialized chemicals designed to break down and dissolve tough residue and contaminants on tank surfaces.
• Vacuuming and Pumping – We can use vacuum trucks and pumps to remove liquid and solid materials from the tanks so cleaning can begin.
• Man-Entry and Remote Cleaning – Following all safety protocols, our team can enter the tank to clean its interiors. We can also use remotely operated tools to clean the interior of the tank.

Safety & Compliance Standards for Industrial Tank Cleaning

Our team of industrial waste management specialists follows all OSHA standards, industry standards, and other regulations to ensure we are carefully adhering to all safety and compliance protocols. We wear personal protective equipment, implement proper tank isolation procedures, conduct atmospheric testing, and have a plan in place for emergency rescue. We conduct all necessary pre-cleaning screening and evaluation to ensure proper tank drainage or product removal. We also follow all safety protocols for tank de-isolation and cleanup.

Maintaining Industrial Process Tanks in Between Cleanings

It’s also crucial that you properly maintain your industrial tanks in between cleanings. We recommend that you take certain preventive measures, including:

• Regularly inspecting and monitoring the level of liquid, solid, gas, or fuel inside each tank
• Regularly testing the quality of the stored products to look for signs of contamination or degradation
• Assessing tank insulation and exteriors for signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or other problems
• Using EPA-approved methods for preventing microbial growth and contamination
• Using desiccants to absorb moisture from the air around storage tanks to reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth
