Oil Tank Maintenance

The buildup of materials inside an oil tank, such as sludge and water, can negatively affect the behavior of appliances and problems can occur when they eventually make their way to the tank’s outlet. To prevent potential damage, it is really important to have your industrial oil tanks regularly cleaned by the specialist team here at DP Tanks.

We have a range of professional techniques at our disposal that allow us to clean industrial oil tanks both below and above ground. For decontamination purposes, scaffolding is built around the tank and our priority is gaining safe access in order to carry out a full cleaning service. 

Comprehensive Industrial Tank Cleaning Support

Industrial tank cleaning is rarely a quick, single-step job. Many sites, especially older industrial or fuel-storage locations, have years of use behind them. The ground around the tank often needs just as much attention as the tank itself. Alongside industrial tank cleaning, we can assess the ground conditions around the tank, deal with contamination issues, and prepare the site for whatever comes next. We specialise in tank removal, repair, and ongoing operation.

When leaks or residue have affected the surrounding ground, we take on the extra work needed to bring the area back to a safe, compliant state. You don’t need to call in multiple contractors or juggle different schedules as we keep everything running at a steady, manageable pace. The aim is simple: one experienced team handling the whole job, from gaining access and carrying out the clean-down to removing waste and providing the final certification.
We also ensure the ground around your tank is properly dealt with, whether the tank is being removed, inspected, or maintained. This reduces risk, cuts downtime, and leaves you with a clean, safe area that’s ready for whatever comes next.

All-Inclusive Contaminated Soil Remediation

Sometimes the maintenance needed extends beyond the tank to the soil surrounding it. Our contaminated soil remediation service includes checking the ground, removing any affected soil, and putting everything back to a standard that meets environmental requirements.

Since soil work and tank cleaning are planned as a single task rather than being completed by separate crews, this method eliminates delays and maintains organisation. It also means any hidden problems, like long-term seepage, slow leaks, or older pipework, are found and dealt with properly. By managing both the tank and the surrounding ground, we lower the risk of issues returning and hand back a site that’s both safe and compliant.

How often should I schedule industrial oil tank cleaning?

The frequency of industrial oil tank cleaning can vary depending on factors such as the type of materials stored, the tank’s size, and its usage. However, as a general guideline, it is advisable to schedule regular maintenance and cleaning to prevent the accumulation of sludge and water that can have a detrimental effect on the tank’s performance. Our specialists at DP Tanks can evaluate your specific situation and suggest an appropriate cleaning schedule.

What are the potential consequences of neglecting industrial oil tank cleaning?

Neglecting the cleaning and maintenance of industrial oil tanks can give rise to a range of issues.
