- 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

Chemical Tank Cleaning Bury
For chemical tank cleaning, you need special knowledge for each substance. Unlike basic cleaners, we have over 1,200 chemical cleaning methods from 30 years of industry experience.
Storage Tank Cleaning Bury
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
We use gentle cleaning for polymer-lined water tanks with careful pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that maintain the right distance to protect liners while meeting drinking water standards.
For steel product storage vessels, we utilize magnetic crawlers with attached cleaning heads that systematically cover 100% of interior surfaces while operators remain outside, eliminating confined space risks.
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 Bury
Interceptor tanks need proper care to protect the environment. We clear away all oils, fuels, and muck. Our High Pressure Jetting tools can get into the smallest areas of these complex systems. Regular cleaning helps you avoid overflows and unwanted fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Bury
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 Bury
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 Bury.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Bury
Cleaning pressure vessels needs proper methods to maintain their structure. Our experts understand the vital nature of these vessels and their safety demands. We get rid of scale, deposits, and residues without hurting sensitive components. This careful work helps them last longer and run safely.
