Safety & Strategization
Our cleaning teams methodically plan and propose a detailed, tailored approach to every tank decontamination project. All storage tanks vary in condition and configuration making access and efficiency-focused planning difficult and labor-intensive in some cases. Our water blasting equipment features pressure cleaning capabilities of up to 40,000 psi, removing even the toughest of prolonged buildup.
We outline and cautiously execute cleaning activities while responsibly disposing of the extracted waste following decontamination services.
Supervision & Documentation
Confined space tank cleaning requires team guidance and observation ensuring the safest possible services are carried out each time. An American Tanks cleaning supervisor will be present for the duration of the decontamination project to oversee procedures and document any unforeseen complications that may arise. We’ll digitally record cleaning and site activities and provide clients with reports upon completion.
Tank Cleaning
American Tanks specialize in general industrial tank cleaning and sludge removal, servicing a number of Australian and international industries over the past 20 years we’ve been operating.
Commercial tank cleaning can be a tedious, unappealing, and often dangerous job requiring qualified and highly-skilled decontamination teams. While standard water reservoirs may seem like a straightforward cleaning process, removing chemical buildup from steel surfaces can be elaborate, complex, and time-consuming.
In some circumstances, older tanks may be deemed hazardous to access for cleaning purposes with American Tanks recommending all decontamination inquiries be passed onto our expert personnel for analysis.
Our Tank Cleaning Processes
- After draining and flushing the tank, we’ll need to remove your liner to access internal surfaces. American Tanks then assess the condition of the walls, floor, and inside of the roof determining the degree of cleaning required.
-
We then use high-pressure washing equipment to clean and scour your tank’s surfaces, restoring them to their most hygienic state possible. American Tanks have many years of experience removing chemical and flammable residue from fuel and oil tanks, as well as cleaning potable and fire water systems.
Our advanced range of nozzles and fittings allows our team to effectively clean every crevice of your tank, including large-diameter pipework, flanges, and other fittings. - External tank surfaces, attached platforms, stairways, and safety components like railings are all washed down with our high-pressure cleaning equipment. Grime buildup on accessways quickly become site safety hazards and place staff and visitors at risk.
- Liner membranes are then reinstalled leaving your tanks ready for their next refill.
In addition to standard surface cleaning and grime removal, American Tanks also offers pipeline and drain thawing solutions using steaming equipment on frozen lines and other components.
Confined Space Cleaning
Although universally challenging to clean, restricted, compact and extremely narrow accessways have always been an improvement point for our industry worldwide.
American Tanks’ tank cleaning teams, equipment, and tools are certified and insured to enter highly-enclosed tank spaces of all types. We clean tanks on both individual or one-time contracts as well as on a repeat or scheduled basis.
Constricted space certification isn’t easily achieved meaning our training and expertise ensure that regardless of the storage cleaning project, American Tanks have the solution!
