Tank Cleaning: Our Approach
We start by looking at the shape of your tank, what's in it, and what it's made of to find the best way to clean it. We think about size, entry points, 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 fully trained operatives follow strict procedures in confined spaces and when handling hazardous materials, whatever the cleaning challenge.

Types of Tanks We Clean in Hull
Fuel Tank Cleaning Hull
Since 2011, we've finished over 450 fuel tank cleaning projects across Hull. Our skilled team has developed trusted methods for all contamination scenarios. Our experienced staff bring 30+ years of field experience, solving problems from bacteria in old tanks to emergency diesel cleaning after floods.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Hull
Diesel tanks need careful cleaning to remove harmful bacteria and water. Our team works in ways that don't stop your business. We extract sediment and polish fuel to boost efficiency. This helps prevent filter blocks and engine problems.
Petrol Tank Cleaning Hull
Petrol tank cleaning is risky due to fire dangers. Our team has safety certificates and follows detailed safety rules.
- Full tank gas-freeing and atmospheric testing to <10% LEL before work commences
- Continuous gas monitoring throughout the cleaning process
- Intrinsically safe equipment rated for Zone 0 explosive atmospheres
- Nitrogen purging systems to maintain inert conditions
- Static-dissipative hoses and bonded equipment to prevent ignition sources
- Emergency response team on standby during all petrol tank operations
- Permits-to-work verified by our safety officer and your site representative
Oil Tank Cleaning Hull
We remove sludge and residue from oil tanks without harming the environment. Using vacuum systems, we clear deposits from all tank surfaces. This thorough cleaning prevents blockages in your oil system. Our staff follows strict steps to protect nearby areas.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Hull
Chemical tank cleaning needs special knowledge that changes with each substance. Unlike basic cleaners, we have a list of over 1,200 chemical cleaning methods built from 30 years working in industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Hull
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
Our cleaning system for polymer-lined water tanks uses careful pressure (max 2,000 PSI) with rotary cleaners that maintain the perfect distance to protect liners while ensuring the water meets drinking standards.
When cleaning steel storage tanks, we use magnetic crawlers with cleaning heads that reach all interior surfaces while our team remains outside, removing confined space risks.
We use pH-neutral cleaning solutions for fibreglass tanks 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 Hull
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 Hull
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 Hull
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 Hull.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Hull
Pressure vessels require precise cleaning techniques that maintain structural integrity. Our specialists understand the critical nature of these vessels and their safety requirements. We remove scale, deposits, and residues without damaging sensitive components. This careful service extends operational life while supporting safe performance.
