Tank Cleaning
About
Tank cleaning in the oil and gas sector refers to the process of removing waste, sediment, sludge, chemicals or other unwanted materials that accumulate inside storage tanks used in the oil and gas industry.
These tanks are used to store a variety of products such as crude oil, refined petroleum products, chemicals and other industry-related materials.
Tank cleaning is an important procedure to ensure the integrity, safety and operational efficiency of tanks and the general oil and gas production and storage process. The build-up of waste in tanks can lead to a number of problems, including:
Reduction in storage capacity
The accumulation of sediment and waste can reduce the actual capacity of the tank, resulting in a loss of space for storing products.
Cross-contamination
Residues and sediments can contaminate stored products, resulting in products of lower quality and commercial value.
Corrosion and deterioration
The presence of residues can accelerate the internal corrosion of tanks, reducing their useful life and increasing the risk of leaks.
Safety
risks
Accumulations of flammable or toxic gases may occur, creating safety risks for workers involved in operating the tanks.
