Our Tank Cleaning Process
We start by assessing your tank's shape, contaminants and materials to determine the best approach, taking into account size, access points and UK regulations.
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.

Types of Tanks We Clean in the West Midlands
Fuel Tank Cleaning West Midlands
With over 450 fuel tank cleaning projects completed across the West Midlands since 2011, our specialised team has developed proven methodologies for even the most challenging contamination scenarios. Our senior technicians average 30+ years in the field and have tackled everything from bacterial contamination in long-term storage tanks to emergency diesel polishing after flood contamination.
Diesel Tank Cleaning West Midlands
Diesel tanks need specific cleaning to remove bacterial growth and water contamination. Our team uses tailored techniques to clean these tanks without disrupting your business. We extract sediment and polish the diesel to improve fuel efficiency. This service prevents filter blockages and engine damage.
Petrol Tank Cleaning West Midlands
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
- Static-dissipative hoses and bonded equipment to prevent ignition sources
- Emergency response team on standby during all petrol tank operations
- Permits-to-work verified by our safety officer and your site representative
Oil Tank Cleaning West Midlands
Cleaning an oil tank requires careful sludge and residue extraction, free of environmental pollution. Advanced vacuum systems help us remove deposits from walls and tank bottoms. This complete cleaning keeps your oil system free from blockages. Our staff uses rigorous procedures to protect nearby areas.
Chemical Tank Cleaning West Midlands
Chemical tank cleaning requires specialised knowledge that varies by substance. Unlike general cleaning providers, we maintain a database of over 1,200 chemical-specific cleaning protocols developed through 30 years of industrial experience.
Storage Tank Cleaning West Midlands
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
For polymer-lined water reservoirs, we employ soft-touch cleaning systems using controlled pressure (max 2,000 PSI) with rotary surface cleaners that maintain consistent standoff distance to prevent liner damage while achieving potable 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 West Midlands
Interceptor tanks need regular cleaning to protect the environment. We clear out all oils, fuels, and sediments. Our High Pressure Jetting tools can reach into the tightest of spaces in these complex systems. Regular cleaning prevents overflows and potential fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning West Midlands
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 West Midlands
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 the West Midlands.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning West Midlands
Pressure vessels require precise cleaning techniques that maintain structural integrity. Our specialists understand the critical nature of these vessels and their safety requirements. We remove scale, deposits, and residues without damaging sensitive components. This careful service extends operational life while supporting safe performance.

Our cleaning protocols are bespoke to each industry's challenges, using the right techniques, equipment, and solutions for your situation.
When companies clean their tanks regularly, it prevents costly problems because sludge, sediment and bacteria growth are removed. Ensure that reduced capacity, damaged components, and corrosion are slowed down.
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 means regulatory compliance, with documentation trails to prove you're committed during audits and inspections.
Clean tanks mean good business with customers, partners, and employees, showing that you're committed to quality, safety, and the environment.
