Industrial Tank Cleaning Stockport
Our industrial tank cleaning methods have been refined over thirty years, to perfect industrial tank cleaning procedures into a safe, legally compliant solution for hazardous materials.
What We Do
Our tank cleaning reaches all of Stockport and every industry. We work with dangerous waste sites, businesses, and factories. We create a special plan for each one.
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.
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
Our first step is to check your tank's shape, what's in it, and what it's made of to decide how to clean it best. We look at its size, where we can get in, 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 fully trained operatives follow strict procedures in confined spaces and when handling hazardous materials, whatever the cleaning challenge.

Our Tank Cleaning Options in Stockport
Fuel Tank Cleaning Stockport
We've cleaned more than 450 fuel tanks across Stockport 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 Stockport
We clean diesel tanks to remove bacteria and water build-up. Our methods ensure your business can keep working normally. By taking out sediment and polishing fuel, we boost efficiency. This helps stop filters clogging and engines getting damaged.
Petrol Tank Cleaning Stockport
When cleaning petrol tanks, safety comes first because of the fire danger. Our trained team follows strict 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

Oil Tank Cleaning Stockport
To clean an oil tank, we carefully remove all sludge without causing pollution. Our vacuum equipment helps us clear deposits from the walls and bottom. This full cleaning keeps oil flowing without blockages. Our staff uses strict methods to protect nearby spaces.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Stockport
Chemical tank cleaning needs special knowledge that changes with each substance. Unlike basic cleaners, we have a list of over 1,200 chemical cleaning methods built from 30 years working in industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Stockport
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
For polymer-lined water tanks, our gentle cleaning system uses safe pressure (max 2,000 PSI) with rotary cleaners that stay at the perfect distance to protect liners while ensuring water remains safe to drink.
We use magnetic crawlers for steel storage vessels that clean all interior surfaces while our staff remains outside, removing confined space dangers.
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 Stockport
Keeping interceptor tanks clean is vital for the environment. We remove all oils, fuels, and built-up dirt. Our High Pressure Jetting tools can reach even the hardest spots in these tricky systems. Clean them often to prevent overflows and possible fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Stockport
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 Stockport
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 Stockport.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Stockport
Pressure vessels require careful treatment to protect their integrity. Our team knows how important these vessels are and what safety standards they need. We clean off scale, deposits, and gunk without harming the delicate parts. This gentle service helps them work longer and stay safe.

We design custom cleaning methods that tackle each industry's unique problems, using proper tools, techniques, 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.
Keeping tanks properly maintained means meeting rules, with records to show your commitment during checks and audits. Clean tanks support better business with customers, partners, and employees, proving you care about quality, safety, and the environment.
