When it comes to maintaining operational efficiency and safety in industrial environments, industrial tank cleaning is one of the most essential services you can invest in. Whether you’re storing water, chemicals, petroleum products, or food-grade substances, clean and well-maintained tanks are crucial to preventing contamination, corrosion, and costly downtime.
At M&M Tank Coatings, we understand the importance of proper industrial tank cleaning. With decades of experience serving industrial, municipal, and commercial clients, our team delivers professional, comprehensive cleaning solutions tailored to your tank’s unique needs.
What Is Industrial Tank Cleaning?
Industrial tank cleaning is the process of removing residues, sludge, scale, and other contaminants from the interior and sometimes the exterior of a storage tank. Over time, even the best-coated tanks can accumulate unwanted materials that degrade performance and safety.
Our industrial tank cleaning services help eliminate these hazards, restore your tank’s original capacity, and ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards.
Why Industrial Tank Cleaning Is Non-Negotiable
Failing to perform regular industrial tank cleaning can lead to major consequences:
-
Product Contamination: Buildup of residues and bacteria can spoil entire batches of product.
-
Corrosion and Deterioration: Residual chemicals and moisture accelerate corrosion, especially in steel and metal tanks.
-
Operational Downtime: Blockages and contamination can lead to shutdowns and repairs.
-
Regulatory Violations: Improperly cleaned tanks may fail health and safety inspections, leading to fines or forced shutdowns.
This is why proactive industrial tank cleaning is not just recommended—it’s critical.
Our Process: Thorough and Tailored Tank Cleaning
At M&M Tank Coatings, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to industrial tank cleaning. Our cleaning protocols are adapted based on the tank’s material, contents, condition, and usage.
1. Inspection and Assessment
We begin each industrial tank cleaning service with a detailed inspection. This allows us to evaluate the level of buildup, corrosion, or contamination present. From there, we determine the best approach—whether dry, wet, or chemical cleaning.
2. Sediment and Sludge Removal
Sludge and sediment buildup is a common issue, especially in tanks used for fuel, wastewater, or chemicals. Our vacuum and pumping systems ensure full removal without damaging the tank structure.
3. Abrasive Blasting (If Needed)
In some cases, industrial tank cleaning requires abrasive blasting to remove scale, rust, or old coatings. As Colorado’s premier provider of sandblasting services, M&M Tank Coatings selects the ideal blasting material to clean your tank without damaging it.
4. Decontamination
For tanks that store hazardous or sensitive materials, decontamination is a vital step. Our team uses certified methods and eco-friendly solvents to clean tanks to meet or exceed industry safety standards.
5. Inspection for Repairs or Recoating
After cleaning, we inspect your tank for signs of wear, damage, or coating failure. Our team offers comprehensive recoating and repair services to restore the tank’s integrity and prevent future issues.
