Tank Cleaning Services In India

Tank cleaning not only enhances operational efficiency—it also extends tank lifespan, prevents cross-contamination, and helps meet strict industry regulations. The advantages impact safety, cost, and productivity across the board.

A 20,000-litre (20 KL) diesel storage tank at a vital industrial site in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, presented a significant difficulty. The tank had developed substantial coatings of rust, dust, and carbon particles as a result of internal problems and extended use, seriously impairing the quality of their stored fuel and endangering the dependability of their backup power systems. The client's main concerns were ensuring maximum safety during the restricted space entrance and accomplishing speedy restoration to minimise downtime, even though the inside state was so bad that a total overhaul was required.

Ram Engineering completed a thorough tank cleaning and restoration job with unmatched accuracy and safety by utilising our Rapid Shutdown Mastery and strict restricted space access safety procedures:

1. Safe Fluid Removal: All of the diesel that was already in the tank was carefully taken out and transported for possible external purification (if recoverable).
2. Extensive Ventilation & Gas Freeing: High-capacity fans were positioned strategically at the top of each tank to ensure constant oxygen circulation, which successfully eliminated harmful odours and fumes. All tank ports were opened right away. The tank was ready for safe access due to this important step.
3. Continuous Atmosphere Monitoring: To ensure a safe and breathable atmosphere, our safety team used an oxygen meter to carefully check oxygen levels both before and during entrance. They also kept an eye out for hazardous vapours and flammable gases.
4. Meticulous Confined Space Entry & Cleaning: Two members of a highly skilled crew entered the tank without incident while wearing complete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) suits. Using specialised equipment and methods, they painstakingly cleaned the inside, eliminating persistent layers of dust, carbon particles, and rust.
5. Dedicated Safety Watch: During the inside cleaning, a member of the Ram Engineering team kept a close eye on the two people inside the tank from the outside while constantly communicating. Another team member was stationed on top of the tank at the same time, keeping a close eye on the crew's health and general condition and responding quickly to any irregularities.
6. Comprehensive Restoration: To improve corrosion resistance and lengthen the tank's lifespan, an epoxy paint coating was put inside the tank following interior cleaning. For aesthetic and defensive reasons, the tank's outside painting was also finished.
7. Associated System Overhaul: Every pipeline that was linked was meticulously cleansed to guarantee overall dependability. To guarantee a leak-proof and completely working system, damaged valves were replaced, motors were reconditioned, the main pump was rebuilt, and all gaskets and bolt nuts were changed.

The Result: With careful preparation, strict respect for safety regulations, and effective implementation, Ram Engineering was able to:

• The 20 KL diesel tank was fully restored to its original, rust-free state, guaranteeing the best possible storage for clean fuel.
• Completed the procedure with the highest level of safety possible, exhibiting a steadfast dedication to the welfare of every employee, even in a dangerous confined space setting.
• Through interior coating, exterior painting, pipeline cleaning, and component repairs, the tank and related gasoline distribution system were made more durable and dependable.
• Rapid Shutdown Mastery reduced downtime and made the vital diesel store quickly operational again.
• Gave the customer total assurance about the security and soundness of their fuel infrastructure.
