Frequently Asked Questions
Here we answer common questions about tank cleaning. For further questions, we are happy to assist you personally – simply use our contact form.
What is meant by professional tank cleaning?
Tanks are used to store a wide range of media – from liquefied gas and fuels to chemicals. Professional tank cleaning involves the proper removal of residues, deposits and corrosive substances. This protects the tank’s functionality, preserves the quality of the stored media and prevents safety-related damage such as leaks or material embrittlement. Experience, suitable technology and documented procedures are essential.
Why is regular tank cleaning important?
Industrial tanks are permanently exposed to residues, deposits and chemical influences. Without cleaning, there is a risk of loss of function, corrosion damage or contamination of the stored medium. Regular tank cleaning protects the tank structure, maintains operational safety and ensures the purity of the contents. When carried out professionally, it extends the service life of the entire system.
Why do I need to have my PFAS-decontaminated tank cleaned?
PFAS residues are considered carcinogenic and extremely persistent – affecting people and the environment for decades. This is why standards-compliant decontamination of such tanks is required by law. Only professional cleaning prevents long-term environmental damage, meets all legal requirements and protects your system infrastructure at the same time.
What must be considered when storing substances hazardous to water?
Tanks used to store substances hazardous to water are subject to the requirements of the German Water Resources Act (WHG). Our cleaning teams are highly familiar with these requirements. We ensure that your tank systems are cleaned professionally, safely and in full legal compliance – especially in sensitive areas such as water extraction.
How does tank cleaning or surface treatment work?
First, we analyse the system on site and assess potential hazards as well as technical specifics. Based on this, we develop a cleaning concept that our specialists implement precisely, safely and with full documentation. If required, we supplement the process with inspections or expert assessments – ensuring maximum safety and transparency.
What protective measures apply when handling carcinogenic substances?
Strict occupational safety requirements apply to substances such as benzene, formaldehyde or petrol. Our specialists work in full protective suits and with self-contained breathing apparatus to eliminate health risks. All measures are documented, verified and carried out in accordance with the requirements for hazardous substance work – ensuring maximum safety in highly contaminated operational areas.
