Reservoir and Tank Cleaning

Reservoir and Tank Cleaning Services

If reservoir and tank cleaning services are not performed regularly, they can be the largest source of system-wide contaminates. Bacteria, varnish, sludge easily build up and infect piping, equipment and other ares of the system even when those receive regular maintenance.

Our certified confined space technicians know how to minimize waste and thoroughly remove all contaminates during tank cleaning procedures. We have been trusted for over 30 years to thoroughly clean vessels to ISO cleanliness standards which using environmentally safe disposal methods. Varnish, hydrocarbon vapor and deposits, free oil and other built up deposits are removed, with oil, water and solids are separated for recycling to reduce your hazardous waste disposal fees.

Reservoir Cleaning Project Examples

Extrusion Plant Oil Reclamation and Reservoir Cleaning

RIG was contracted to perform oil reconditioning and tank cleaning on a 3000-Ton Press located at an extrusion plant. The work included supplying temporary storage to hold the AW 100, Confined Space Entry Reservoir Cleaning and Vacuum Dehydration/Filtration. The 48-hour cleaning process removed debris and returned ISO contamination to acceptable levels on a tight timeline.

Pulp and Paper Plants Recieve Thorough Cleaning Services

Cleaned Individual Dryer Bearings, Gearbox casings, Lube oil reservoirs and Lube oil headers for multiple International Paper locations across the United States. Paper machines are highly susceptible to contamination build-up due to open vents on lube oil.
