Safety is paramount on all TankTech projects. All work is carried out in accordance with BS5958-2:1991 & the A.C.O.P. for Prevention of Static Discharge, and also with the A.C.O.P. for Confined Space Entry.

The Confined Space Entry Approved Code of Practice, Regulations and Guidance states that
“Employers have a duty to prevent employees, or others who are to any extent within the employer’s control, such as contractors, from entering or working inside a confined space where it is reasonably practicable to undertake the work without entering the space. Similarly, the self-employed should not enter or work inside a confined space where it is reasonably practicable to undertake the work without entering it.
In every situation, the employer or the self-employed must consider what measures can be taken to enable the work to be carried out without the need to enter the confined space. The measures might involve modifying the confined space itself to avoid the need for entry, or to enable the work to be undertaken from outside the space. In many cases it will involve modifying working practices.”

The TankTech Process achieves the following objectives

Eliminates Hydrogen Sulphide & Pyrophoric Iron Sulphide Concerns.
Reduces Sludge by up to 80% (dependent on initial sludge composition)
Reduces Benzene to under 1ppm.
Reduce LEL’s below specified limits.

As a result of the Decontamination Process

Manned entry is greatly reduced (or eliminated).
Plant Internal surfaces are cleaned.
Plant Internal Atmosphere is Decontaminated

The TankTech Process enables our clients to fully comply with the requirements of the ACOP regulations with the added benefit of employing a more efficient and cost effective decontamination procedure.
