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, on-site 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 technologies to minimize personnel exposure and eliminate or reduce manned entry into the tank.

- The Gator™ , a proprietary, remotely-controlled cannon device 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
