Check out these before and after photos from a reservoir cleaning at an ammonia nitrate plant. The dramatic difference highlights just how essential confined space tank cleaning is for maintaining efficiency and preventing system failures in industrial environments.

 

Did You Know?

BioKem Oil Systems provides both entry and non-entry reservoir/tank cleaning services, tailored to your specific system requirements.

Many lubrication and fluid systems are built to allow contaminants to settle inside the reservoir. Over time, even with efficient filtration, contaminants collect at the bottom. This buildup eventually requires removal to avoid long-term equipment damage.

 

Why Confined Space Tank Cleaning Matters

Tank cleaning is often overlooked during routine maintenance. However, skipping this critical step can lead to the reintroduction of contaminants—putting machinery at risk of failure.

BioKem’s confined space tank cleaning process is designed to restore your system’s cleanliness and reliability. Our technicians are trained and certified for Confined Space Entry, ensuring safety and compliance during every step of the job.

 

Safety Is Our Priority

We use industry-grade safety and cleaning equipment, including:

  • Atmospheric gas monitors

  • Tripods and harnesses

  • Protective suits

  • Certified confined space protocols

Our experienced BioKem Field Service Technicians are fully equipped to handle cleaning in challenging environments – such as hydraulic, lube oil, and fuel reservoirs.

 

Prevent Equipment Failure Before It Happens

Regular tank cleaning helps ensure:

  • Optimal fluid cleanliness

  • Extended equipment lifespan

  • Reduced risk of unplanned maintenance

  • Better system efficiency

Removing built-up contaminants is essential for keeping your operations running smoothly.
