- 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

Tanks We Clean Throughout Penarth
Fuel Tank Cleaning Penarth
With 450+ fuel tank cleanings in Penarth since 2011, we know how to tackle any contamination. Our senior staff members bring 30+ years of hands-on experience, handling everything from bacteria in long-term tanks to urgent diesel polishing after flood damage.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Penarth
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 Penarth
Petrol tank cleaning requires the highest safety standards due to flammability risks. Our ATEX-certified technicians follow a comprehensive safety protocol that includes:
- 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 Penarth
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 Penarth
Chemical tanks need cleaning that matches each substance. Unlike normal cleaners, we have over 1,200 chemical cleaning plans from 30 years in the industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Penarth
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
Our polymer-lined water tank cleaning uses gentle systems with limited pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that maintain the same distance to avoid liner damage while reaching 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.
We clean fibreglass tanks with special pH-neutral mixtures 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 Penarth
Looking after interceptor tanks means cleaning them often to protect nature. We take away all oils, fuels, and dirt. Our High Pressure Jetting tools reach even the smallest gaps in these complex setups. When you clean them regularly, you prevent spills and possible penalties.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Penarth
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 Penarth
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 Penarth.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Penarth
Pressure vessels need skilled cleaning to maintain their condition. Our specialists know how critical these vessels are and their safety rules. We remove scale, deposits, and residues without damaging the sensitive bits. This careful service makes them last longer and perform safely.
