To prepare stocks of various types of petroleum products, it is necessary to carry out exceptional volumes of previously supplied petroleum fractions. Let’s say that fuel oil or heating oil was stored in the container to be cleaned. Depending on fuel oil and heating oil, a large proportion of sulfur is formed, which forms sulfuric acids, which enter into a chemical state. This can lead to loss of tightness. This still requires high costs for the restoration of the tank farm. We recommend doing it at least once every 4 years or more often. For example, you are planning to use this tank for storing Euro 5 diesel fuel. The presence of residues with a new product will inevitably degrade its quality.

Tank cleaning safety

Safety precautions must be observed when cleaning the tank. Be sure to use personal protective equipment. Put on work clothing, a hermetically sealed body, and rubber boots. Hands should be protected with benzocyte gloves to resist gases or respirators, eyes should be protected from special foci, from the ingress of caustic chemicals into the mucous membrane. If this happens, see your doctor right away. Cleaning of fuel tanks is carried out in organizations with the aim of observing the rules for the technical operation of tanks, improving the quality of petroleum products, preparing for technical diagnostics and repair work.

The cost of tanks for petroleum products, such as: industrial, motor and transmission oils, fuel oil and other lubricants consists of several components: the availability of reagents, work experience and licenses. Such work can only be entrusted to professionals with extensive experience and good reputation. We accept individual requirements for each client. The exact cost of the work.

The value and features of tank cleaning

Organizations operating the fuel and lubricants tanks must comply with the rules of technical operation, regularly carry out technical control of the tank farm for the timely identification and elimination of detected defects. A prerequisite for meeting these requirements is the cleaning of tanks (tank equipment) from residues of oil products and their deposits. Tanks are also cleaned before changing the stored petroleum product, before preparing the tank for repair or anti-corrosion treatment, or for calibration of tanks.

Cleaning of tanks is, first of all, carrying out gas-hazardous work related to inspection, cleaning, repair, depressurization of technological equipment, incl. work inside containers, during which there is or is not excluded the possibility of releasing into the working area explosive or harmful vapors, gases and other substances that can cause an explosion, ignition, have a harmful effect on the human body, as well as work with insufficient oxygen content.
