Frequent tank cleaning is a critical part of industrial and commercial tank management. Without thorough cleaning, tanks present an environmental risk, with chemicals and water that can get into the groundwater and compromise the local water system. Industrial tank cleaning also optimizes your business operations by reducing the risk of blockages, clogs, cross-contamination, and sudden unscheduled downtime. At Cactus Environment Service, we provide industrial tank cleaning services and more in and around the Houston area. Learn more about our processes before you schedule an appointment.
How We Handle Tank Cleaning
We provide thorough, comprehensive industrial tank cleaning services. Our team uses state-of-the-art industrial-strength equipment, including vacuum trucks, hydro-blasting tools, and pumps, to remove layers of waste or buildup from tanks. Next, we scour the tanks to remove every trace of contaminants, lingering solids, and chemical residue that can cause unwanted reactions. Our tank cleaning processes include:- Decontamination and disinfection processes
- Batch and loop reactor cleaning
- Complete internal cleaning of tanks and other vessels, including above-ground and underground tanks
- Assessment for corrosion and rust that can compromise the structural integrity of the tank or the future stored content
Signs It’s Time for Tank Cleaning Services
Tank cleaning should be a regularly scheduled part of your facilities management plan. The frequency of cleaning depends on the type of tank, the typically stored contents, and the application; for example, potable water tanks must be cleaned every six months under some regulatory requirements. We recommend having your facility’s tanks cleaned on time or more frequently to prevent breakdown, contamination, or penalties for non-compliance. However, your tanks may need more frequent cleaning. Some common signs that it’s time for tank cleaning services to be scheduled include:- Visible grime and buildup within the tank
- Increased levels of contamination or failure to meet product purity standards
- You’re changing the internal contents of the tank and want to avoid contamination
- Increased noise levels from sediment and solid buildup within a tank
- Increased mechanical issues
