Tank Cleaning Services

Even under optimum circumstances, tank cleaning can be a risky undertaking. The interior of tanks constitute an extremely harsh environment that poses many safety and environmental hazards. To reduce or eliminate the inherent risk, you need detailed planning, engineering, advanced technology, safety protocols, onsite process controls, training and experience. Veolia's tank cleaning services provide all that, and more.

We emphasize the critical elements of professional project planning and detailed process controls. Our tank cleaning techniques feature total process containment, tank ventilation, vapor recovery and scrubbing, and automated mechanical technology to minimize personnel exposure and eliminate or reduce manned entry into the tank.

Proprietary Technology and Unmatched Tank Cleaning Expertise

Veolia’s experienced crews are capable of cleaning almost any type of tank, including crude, fuel and slop oil, asphalt, wastewater, gasoline, sour water, benzene and more. Tank cleaning methods and capabilities include:

• Robotic, mechanical, chemical and thermal circulation techniques
• A proprietary remotely-controlled and powerful cannon device, dubbed The Gator™ that removes sludge from the center of a tank quickly, efficiently and with less risk of worker injury
• Sludge suction and processing using the most cost-effective technology possible, depending on the specific sludge stream characteristics and contents
• If possible, the blending of tank sludge into a useful fuel stock or preparation for an on-site coker feed or recycling
