There are a number of reasons why businesses and industries require a tank cleaning service. Other than the regular care and maintenance of equipment that respected, professional companies carry out as standard business practice, there is often great economic and budget benefit to improving the lifespan of tanks or re-purposing and re-deploying an existing tank for another use.
Tank Breakdown: Which Tanks Need Cleaning?
There are lots of different types of tank which require regular maintenance, here are a selection of the most common types:
Ballast Tanks
A ballast tank is used as an ‘adjustable point of equilibrium’ in most forms of aquatic equipment. This tank helps aquatic vessels maintain a consistent level in the water by either being pumped full of or free from water.
Reactor Tanks
Chemical reactor tanks vary in size from the very small to the ginormous. At their largest, these tanks have been known to reach over 25 metres in height and hold over 400 tonnes of material. More and more people are turning to high-pressure water jet cleaning to remove contamination from their reactor tanks as they realise the high cost and disposal issues involved when using aggressive chemicals and solvents.
Pressure Tanks
Industrial pressure tanks are containers which are capable of holding gases and liquids at pressures substantially different to that of the natural environment. This form of tank is typically make from steel and manufactured in either a spherical, cylindrical or cone shape.
Mixing Tanks
Mixing tanks do what they say on the tin, they mix things. From dissolving solids to blending liquids, mixing tanks are vital and effective pieces of equipment.
Storage Tanks
Storage tanks are containers which safely and securely hold materials for either the short or long term. Typically, these tanks are cylindrical in shape with flat bottoms.
Advantages of Choosing the Hydroblast Tank Cleaning Service
At Hydroblast, we have a unique and innovative range of effective water based solutions. Through years of experience and service, we have become the leaders in professional tank cleaning services. So, why choose Hydroblast?
Safety
Pressure vessels, along with mixing, storage, ballast and reactor tanks, are designed in a way that is intended to both keep the contents inside and to prevent outside elements gaining access. This can make the maintenance of them quite a difficult and demanding challenge. While some tanks are designed to allow a person to access them for repairs, maintenance and cleaning, water jet cleaning, the no man entry tank cleaning method, does not generally require an operative to enter the tank.
Innovative Equipment
At Hydroblast, we use innovative water jetting equipment. While this usually eliminates the need for an operative to enter the tank, in those rare cases where a person is required to enter the tank, our team of professionals are trained in performing work in confined, difficult to access areas.
Time and Money Efficient
Unlike other methods of tank cleaning, high-pressure water jets are capable of efficiently and effectively cleaning tanks of all shapes and sizes in next to no time. This method of industrial tank cleaning creates a minimal level of vibration, removing the need for time-consuming and often expensive scaffolding to be erected around the tank when cleaning commences. This time and money-saving feature reduces the downtime experienced and thus enhances business efficiency.
