- 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

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.
