Storage tanks must be cleaned regularly to ensure they stay in good condition and prolong their lifespan.
As well as ensuring your tanks continue to perform admirably, professional tank cleaning is crucial for the safety of your staff and premises. For example, should you wish to change the substance in a particular tank, your tank must be adequately cleaned to prevent possible chemical reactions. Within F&B businesses, not only do our tank cleaning services ensure the quality of your product remains high, tank cleaning is vital if you’re going to prevent cross-contamination.
Tank cleaning is also important when it comes to maintenance. Any issues with your tanks cannot be rectified while your tank is in use. So, to carry out these maintenance works, it’s important to make sure that your tank is cleaned, emptied and free of residual vapours.
Not only is tank cleaning important for safety – it’s cost-effective too. Industrial tanks that are regularly cleaned last far longer than those that are left to fester. This is because tank build-up can lead to corrosion over time.
And if that wasn’t enough, if waste is left to build up, this can eventually block the tank’s outlet. Once this happens, it can be extremely difficult – and costly – to fix.
At APT-ICC, we have the knowledge, skill and expertise to clean and remove all sorts of hazardous and non-hazardous substances from your tanks during our comprehensive pit cleaning service.

Tank cleaning is the process of preparing industrial tanks for inspection. By scrubbing industrial tanks clean of contamination, blockages and grime, you’ll ensure that your vessels are free from cross-contamination and your staff are protected from the aftereffects of dangerous chemical mixing.
Tank cleaning is a specialist job, so it’s important to use a professional tank cleaning service that will provide a safe solution to the job at hand. At APT-ICC, all our tank cleaning professionals are expertly trained and only use the best chemicals and equipment.
Tank cleaning works by using heavy-duty industrial degreasers to remove oil and build-up from various pits and tanks.
As well as using professional-grade products, we utilise specialist blast cleaning techniques to remove build-up, blockages and residue both internally and externally. Using industry-leading equipment, our tank cleaning service ensures the fast, safe cleaning of industrial tanks and vessels.
At APT, we specialise in two types of tanks:
Working with hundreds of businesses across the UK, our specialist team will come to visit you onsite to clean fixed tanks. These include everything from water tanks to fermentation vessels.
Our team are specially trained to work in confined spaces, meaning we can provide expert cleaning of lorry tanks. All our staff follow appropriate health and safety measures during this procedure and will always wear the correct PPE. For example, our staff will be wearing gas monitors during these cleaning jobs.
If you’re not sure whether your industrial tank or pit is covered by our team, get in touch.
Tank cleaning is governed by strict health and safety guidelines. So, the first step of our tank cleaning service is a thorough consultation and risk assessment.
After a site survey and a chat with your team, we’ll produce the risk assessment and method statement. You’ll also be able to see our competency with our accreditations.
Once we’ve done this, we’ll recommend the safest, most effective cleaning method to clean your particular tank.
Then, we start the pit cleaning. We’ll start by emptying the pit and starting the desludging method to ensure the tank is empty. Then, using highly-specialised techniques and eco-friendly, food-safe degreasers, our team will get to work bringing your tanks back to life.

How long it takes to clean a tank will depend on the size and condition of the tank as well as how easy it is to access. However, we’d normally advise that a thorough tank clean takes between three to five hours.
If you’d like a more accurate estimate, get in touch. We’ll happily offer you a no-obligation site survey and talk you through our tank cleaning process.
We recommend you draft in professionals to clean your industrial tanks twice per year. However, if you wish to swap the contents of your tank for a different type of liquid, it’s important to thoroughly clean the tank to ensure that there’s no cross-contamination.
This is especially important within the F&B industry as you could be breaching health and safety regulations. Furthermore, if you’re working with hazardous materials, tanks should be professionally cleaned to ensure no chemical residue is left over when switching substances.
Either way, our professional, highly-trained staff will ensure you’re left with a hygienic tank, free of contaminants.
At APT-ICC, we believe in using only the best, eco-friendly industrial cleaning products. This is why we’ve developed this in-house to tackle even the most gruelling of pit-cleaning jobs.
How much our tank cleaning service costs depends on the size and type of tank. For example, larger tanks or those with limited access are often costlier to clean.
Furthermore, the more build-up there is in your tank, the more this is likely to cost. However, at APT-ICC, we pride ourselves on reasonable tank cleaning prices.
