This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.
How We Clean Your Tanks
We begin by looking at the shape of your tank, what's inside, and what it's made of to decide how to clean it. We check its size, entry spots, 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 staff keep to firm steps in confined spaces and when handling risky materials, for any cleaning task.

Types of Tanks We Clean in Middlesbrough
Fuel Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
Since 2011, we've completed over 450 fuel tank cleaning projects across Middlesbrough. Our team has developed tested methods for all contamination types. Our senior technicians, with 30+ years of experience, have solved problems from bacterial growth in old tanks to emergency diesel cleaning after floods.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
Diesel tanks need proper cleaning to clear out bacteria and water. We use methods that let your business keep running. Our team takes out sediment and polishes diesel for better fuel use. This stops filters clogging and engines getting damaged.

Oil Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
Oil tank cleaning means carefully removing sludge without harming the environment. Our vacuum systems help us clear deposits from all tank surfaces. This complete cleaning keeps your system free from blockages. Our team follows careful procedures to protect surrounding spaces.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
Chemical tank cleaning needs special knowledge for each substance. Unlike regular cleaning firms, we've collected over 1,200 chemical cleaning methods from 30 years of industrial work.
Storage Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
When cleaning polymer-lined water tanks, we use gentle methods with safe pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that maintain the right distance to avoid damaging liners while reaching safe drinking water standards.
Our steel tank cleaning uses magnetic crawlers with attached cleaning heads that reach all inside surfaces while staff remain outside, avoiding dangerous confined spaces.
Fibreglass tanks need special pH-neutral cleaning formulations that protect resin bonds while 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 Middlesbrough
Your interceptor tanks should be cleaned regularly to protect the world around us. We clear away oils, fuels, and all sediments. Our powerful High Pressure Jetting tools can get into the tiniest spots in these complex systems. Regular cleaning stops overflows and helps you avoid fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Middlesbrough
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 Middlesbrough
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 Middlesbrough.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Middlesbrough
Pressure vessels must be cleaned with great care to preserve their structure. Our team knows these vessels are critical and have strict safety needs. We clear away scale, deposits, and leftover materials without damaging delicate components. This careful work makes the vessels last longer and perform safely.
