What We Do

Looking for tank cleaning in Tameside? We help all industries. From risky waste sites to shops and factories. Each gets its own special treatment.

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.

We hold an Environment Agency permit to carry waste and use clear methods for holding and disposing of all waste. With ISO 14001, we make sure we look after the planet, and we provide the forms you need for your files.

This means your operations run smoothly, and you meet all the rules.

Our Tank Cleaning Process

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 team follows firm rules in confined spaces and when dealing with harmful materials, whatever cleaning task we face.

Our Tank Cleaning Options in Tameside

Fuel Tank Cleaning Tameside

We've handled over 450 fuel tank cleaning jobs throughout Tameside since 2011. Our team has created proven solutions for all types of contamination. With 30+ years of experience, our expert technicians have tackled everything from bacteria in long-term tanks to emergency diesel cleaning after floods.

Diesel Tank Cleaning Tameside

We clean diesel tanks to remove harmful bacteria and water. Our team works carefully so your business can carry on as normal. By taking out sediment and polishing fuel, we improve efficiency. This helps stop filters blocking and engines suffering damage.

Petrol Tank Cleaning Tameside

Petrol tank cleaning needs strict safety measures because of fire risks. Our certified team follows complete safety steps to keep everyone safe.

  • 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

Oil Tank Cleaning Tameside

Oil tank cleaning requires removing sludge carefully without environmental damage. Using vacuum equipment, we clear deposits from walls and bottoms. This thorough cleaning keeps your system free of blockages. Our staff follows strict procedures to protect nearby areas.

Chemical Tank Cleaning Tameside

Each chemical tank needs cleaning matched to its substance. Unlike general cleaners, we have more than 1,200 chemical cleaning plans from 30 years in industry.

Storage Tank Cleaning Tameside

Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:

For polymer-lined water tanks, we use gentle cleaning systems with safe pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that stay the right distance away to protect liners while meeting drinking 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, we use pH-neutral cleaning solutions that keep resin bonds intact while 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 Tameside

For a healthier environment, make sure your interceptor tanks are cleaned often. We take out all oils, fuels, and sludge. Our High Pressure Jetting tools can get into the smallest gaps in these complex systems. Regular cleaning helps prevent overflow problems and costly fines.

Food-grade Tank Cleaning Tameside

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 Tameside

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 Tameside.

Pressure Vessel Cleaning Tameside

Pressure vessels require special cleaning to protect their integrity. Our specialists understand how crucial these vessels are and their safety rules. We clean off scale, deposits, and residues without harming sensitive bits. This careful service helps them work longer and stay safe.

Our tank cleaning pros bring 30+ years of experience and know industrial systems completely. We work with your maintenance staff to create solutions that keep production moving forward.

From manufacturing plants to chemical and food production sites, we have handled hazardous materials, standard commercial storage, and septic systems of all sizes.

All HSE and EA guidelines are followed to the letter. We also provide documentation to ensure compliance whilst protecting people and the environment.

We create special cleaning protocols for each industry's problems, using suitable methods, tools, and solutions for your case.

Regular tank cleaning helps companies prevent expensive problems by clearing out sludge, sediment and bacteria growth. This ensures troubles such as less capacity, broken 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.

Proper maintenance helps you follow rules, with document trails to show your commitment during audits and checks. Clean tanks create better business with customers, partners, and staff, proving you care about quality, safety, and our planet.
