What We Do
Our tank cleaning team works all over Humber with every industry. From places with harmful waste to businesses and factories. We make sure each gets the right cleaning.
We have ISO 14001 and CHAS at Bio Clean Jetting. These prove we care about the earth and keeping people safe. Our permits let us handle and move waste the right way.
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.
As a waste carrier with an Environment Agency permit, we follow approved steps for keeping and throwing away all waste types. Our ISO 14001 badge ensures we protect the environment, and we give you detailed paperwork for your records.
This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.
The Way We Clean Tanks
We begin by checking your tank's shape, the debris inside, and its materials to find the right cleaning method. We look at the 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 trained team follows strict rules when working in confined spaces and dealing with harmful stuff, no matter what cleaning job we face.

Our Tank Cleaning Options in Humber
Fuel Tank Cleaning Humber
We've completed 450+ fuel tank cleaning projects in Humber since 2011. Our team knows exactly how to tackle even the hardest contamination issues. Our experienced technicians, with more than 30 years of experience, have fixed everything from bacteria in old tanks to urgent diesel polishing after flood damage.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Humber
Diesel tanks need proper cleaning to remove bacteria and water that builds up. Our team uses methods that don't disrupt your work. We clear sediment and polish fuel for better efficiency. This stops filters clogging and engines breaking down.
Petrol Tank Cleaning Humber
Cleaning petrol tanks safely is our priority because they can catch fire. Our trained team follows detailed safety steps for every job.
- 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

Oil Tank Cleaning Humber
We remove sludge from oil tanks without environmental harm. Our vacuum equipment helps us clear deposits from walls and bottoms. This thorough cleaning prevents blockages in your oil system. Our staff follows strict steps to protect nearby areas.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Humber
Chemical tank cleaning requires special knowledge for each substance. Unlike regular cleaners, we've gathered over 1,200 chemical cleaning methods through 30 years in industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Humber
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
Our cleaning system for polymer-lined water tanks uses gentle pressure (max 2,000 PSI) with rotary cleaners that stay the perfect distance away to protect liners while meeting drinking water rules.
Our steel tank cleaning uses magnetic crawlers with attached cleaning heads that reach all inside surfaces while staff remain outside, avoiding dangerous confined spaces.
For fibreglass tanks, our specialized pH-neutral cleaning formulations prevent degradation of 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 Humber
To help the environment, interceptor tanks need routine cleaning. We clear out oils, fuels, and all built-up sediments. With our High Pressure Jetting tools, we can access the narrowest spots in these complicated systems. Regular maintenance prevents overflows and potential fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Humber
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 Humber
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 Humber.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Humber
Pressure vessels need proper cleaning to protect their structure. Our specialists know how important these vessels are and their safety demands. We remove scale, deposits, and gunk without hurting sensitive parts. This careful cleaning helps them work longer and perform safely.
