Fuel Tank Cleaning

An essential part of Bell Fuel & Tank Services’ multi-prong approach is mechanical removal of the kind of contaminants that contribute to fuel failure and tank corrosion in long-term stored fuel.  The mechanical process is an important step and one that cannot be ignored if you want a comprehensive solution.  Indeed, one of the EPA’s key recommendations to fuel storage tank operators seeking to avoid storage tank corrosion and associated fuel problems is to remove contaminants from internal tank surfaces so that essential chemical treatments like biocides and liquid corrosion inhibitors aren’t prevented from doing their jobs.
Just as you need diagnostic testing (to accurately assess the problem and confirm it’s been solved) and high quality chemical treatments (for remediation and prevention), mechanical tank cleaning covers an essential segment of the “best practice” solution, manually removing built-up petroleum sludge, water and biomass in the most efficient method possible.
