What We Do
We offer tank cleaning to all Bolton industries. Whether you deal with harmful waste or run a shop or factory, we create a plan that fits your needs.
At Bio Clean Jetting, we hold ISO 14001 and CHAS accreditations. These show we care about the planet and safety. We also have all the permits to handle and move waste properly.
Our comprehensive environmental protection system includes multiple integrated safeguards:
- Closed-loop filtration with triple-stage separation achieving 99.8% contaminant capture
- Secondary containment systems with 110% capacity of the largest tank being cleaned
- Real-time effluent monitoring with automatic shutdown if parameters exceed limits
- Vapor recovery systems capturing VOCs with 99.5% efficiency
- Biodegradable and pH-neutral cleaning agents where compatible
- Complete isolation of drainage systems with inflatable drain blockers
- Spill response kits rated for the specific chemicals being handled
- Environmental monitoring before, during and after operations
All waste streams are tracked through rigorous chain-of-custody documentation from generation to final disposal at EA-licensed facilities, with waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment notes provided for your compliance records.
Being an Environment Agency permitted waste carrier means we use proven steps for storing and disposing of all waste types. Our ISO 14001 badge shows we protect the planet, and we provide detailed forms for your records.
This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.

Our first job is to check your tank's shape, what's inside, and its materials to plan the best clean. We look at size, where we can get in, and UK rules.
Our specialised setup includes:
- Ultra-high pressure water jetting systems (up to 40,000 PSI) with rotating nozzle technology for precision scale removal
- Operating pressure: Up to 40,000 PSI (2,750 bar)
- Flow rate: 5-25 liters per minute (adjustable)
- Nozzle rotation: 1,000 RPM for maximum surface coverage
- Water consumption: 80% less than conventional methods
- ATEX-rated intrinsically safe vacuum extraction units capable of removing solids up to 50mm in diameter
- Positive displacement vacuum systems with 1,500 CFM capacity for rapid sludge extraction
- Chemical dosing systems calibrated to 0.01% accuracy for precise application in sensitive environments
- Remote CCTV inspection systems with explosion-proof lighting for confined space pre-assessment
Our well-trained team keeps to strict steps when working in confined spaces and handling risky materials, no matter the cleaning task.

We clean chemical tanks with special knowledge for each substance. Unlike regular cleaning companies, we've collected 1,200 chemical cleaning methods over 30 years of industrial work.
Storage Tank Cleaning Bolton
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
Polymer-lined water tanks need gentle cleaning with controlled pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that keep a steady distance to avoid liner damage while ensuring water stays safe to drink.
For steel storage tanks, we use magnetic crawlers with cleaning heads that cover all interior surfaces while our staff stays outside, avoiding confined space dangers.
We clean fibreglass tanks with special pH-neutral mixtures that protect resin bonds while effectively removing biological contaminants.
Each methodology is backed by material compatibility testing and documented cleaning validation procedures specific to the tank's construction materials and previous contents.
Interceptor Tank Cleaning Bolton
The environment stays safer when interceptor tanks are cleaned regularly. We remove all oils, fuels, and muck. Our High Pressure Jetting tools work in the tightest spots of these complex systems. Clean them often to stop overflows and avoid being fined.

Food-grade tank cleaning requires total safety and hygiene. We use non-toxic, safe cleaning agents for food-contact surfaces. During the clean, we remove every bacteria and contaminant, ensuring your facility stays compliant and product quality.
Agricultural Tank Cleaning Bolton
Farm operations need clean, functioning tanks for various purposes. We clean water storage, fertiliser and pesticide tanks. Our mobile units cover remote farm locations across the Bolton.
