Industrial Tank Cleaning Professionals in Newcastle
Industrial Tank Cleaning for storage tanks — sludge removal, isolation and clear sign-off in Newcastle.
What We Do
Tank cleaning across Newcastle for all industries. We work with harmful waste sites, shops, and factories. Each gets a cleaning plan made for their needs.
Bio Clean Jetting is proud to have ISO 14001 for the environment and CHAS for safety. These show our promise to keep the best standards. We have all the needed permits to handle and move waste safely.
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.
Being a permitted waste carrier by the Environment Agency means we follow set rules for storing and getting rid of all kinds of waste. Our ISO 14001 system shows we care for the earth, and we give you detailed papers for your records.
This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.
How We Clean Your Tanks
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 trained workers follow strict rules when in confined spaces and dealing with harmful stuff, whatever we clean.

Tanks We Clean Throughout Newcastle
Fuel Tank Cleaning Newcastle
Our team has completed more than 450 fuel tank cleanings in Newcastle since 2011. We know exactly how to fix even the worst contamination problems. Our senior technicians, with over 30 years of experience, have handled everything from bacterial issues in storage tanks to urgent diesel polishing after flood damage.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Newcastle
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 Newcastle
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

Oil Tank Cleaning Newcastle
We clean oil tanks by carefully removing all sludge without causing pollution. Our vacuum systems help us clear deposits from tank walls and bottoms. This thorough cleaning prevents blockages. Our staff follows strict procedures to protect nearby spaces.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Newcastle
Chemical tank cleaning requires special knowledge that's different for each substance. Unlike other cleaners, we have more than 1,200 chemical cleaning plans from 30 years in industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Newcastle
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.
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.
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 Newcastle
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 Newcastle
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 Newcastle
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 Newcastle.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Newcastle
Pressure vessels require proper cleaning to preserve their integrity. Our specialists know how critical these vessels are and what safety standards they need. We remove scale, deposits, and residues without hurting sensitive parts. This gentle service helps them last longer and perform safely.

All HSE and EA guidelines are followed to the letter. We also provide documentation to ensure compliance whilst protecting people and the environment.
Our cleaning methods are specially made for each industry's challenges, using suitable techniques, equipment, and solutions for your situation.
When tanks are cleaned often, companies avoid costly problems by clearing out sludge, sediment and bacteria growth. This ensures issues like reduced capacity, damaged parts, and corrosion happen more slowly.
Professional cleaning eliminates environmental and safety risks by preventing toxic leaks, fire hazards from combustible residues and structural weaknesses in pressure vessels.
As with anything, maintenance costs and preventative measures are always much cheaper than the combination of repair costs, downtime, replacement parts and service fees.
Good maintenance helps you follow regulations, with paperwork that shows your commitment during checks and audits. Clean tanks help your business look good to customers, partners, and staff, proving you care about quality, safety, and the environment.
