Tank Cleaning Manchester
We have an excellent reputation and are industry leaders in tank cleaning. We have the experience to undertake any of your tank cleaning Manchester needs.
What We Do
Our team serves Manchester and every kind of industry. We clean tanks for sites with dangerous waste, business places, and factories. Each gets a custom cleaning plan.
We at Bio Clean Jetting have ISO 14001 for looking after the environment and CHAS for safety. This proves we follow top standards. Our Environment Agency permits mean we handle and move waste by the book.
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.
We have a permit from the Environment Agency to carry waste and use clear methods for holding and getting rid of all types of waste. Our ISO 14001 badge means we look after the planet in all we do, and we give you detailed papers for your records.
This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.
Our Tank Cleaning Process
To start, we check the shape of your tank, what needs cleaning, and the materials to work out our plan. We think about how big it is, where we can get in, and what the UK rules say.
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 staff stick to strict steps when in confined spaces and handling risky materials, whatever cleaning task we meet.

Types of Tanks We Clean in Manchester
Fuel Tank Cleaning Manchester
We've cleaned more than 450 fuel tanks across Manchester since 2011. Our team has the know-how to fix even the worst contamination. Our senior staff, with over 30 years of experience, have handled everything from bacteria in storage tanks to emergency diesel cleaning after flooding.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Manchester
Diesel tanks need thorough cleaning to get rid of bacteria and water. Our team uses methods that won't interrupt your work. We remove sediment and polish diesel to make fuel work better. This prevents filters from blocking and engines from breaking.
Petrol Tank Cleaning Manchester
Cleaning petrol tanks needs special care because of fire hazards. Our certified staff follow a strict safety plan for each 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
- Permits-to-work verified by our safety officer and your site representative
Oil Tank Cleaning Manchester
Oil tank cleaning involves careful sludge removal with no environmental harm. Our vacuum equipment helps us clear deposits from walls and bottoms. This complete cleaning keeps your system flowing freely. Our team uses careful methods to protect surrounding areas.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Manchester
Cleaning chemical tanks takes special knowledge for different substances. Unlike basic cleaners, we've built 1,200 chemical cleaning methods from 30 years of industrial experience.
Storage Tank Cleaning Manchester
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
For polymer-lined water reservoirs, we employ soft-touch cleaning systems using controlled pressure (max 2,000 PSI) with rotary surface cleaners that maintain consistent standoff distance to prevent liner damage while achieving potable water standards.
Our steel tank cleaning uses magnetic crawlers with attached heads that clean every inside surface while staff stays outside, avoiding confined space hazards.
For fibreglass tanks, our pH-neutral cleaning formulations protect resin bonds while effectively removing harmful 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 Manchester
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 Manchester
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 Manchester
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 Manchester.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Manchester
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.
