Seaweld is a company that strives to be the market leader in the way forward in tank cleaning technology. We are constantly updating and improving our equipment to reduce and, where possible, eliminate man entry into confined spaces. We have experience now over eight years with all significant known cleaning technologies; mixer, side entry nozzles, support leg nozzles, and chemical cleaning using surfactants, solvents or bacteria, just to name a few.

WHY TANKS NEED TO BE CLEANED

If we take crude oil, for example, a term that refers to oil recovered from below the earth’s surface, which remains “untreated” or unrefined, the problem begins when contaminants settle out in the bottom of oil storage tanks. Contaminants come from various sources; some contaminants are indigenous to the crude oil itself. The accumulation of crude tank bottoms is a problem experienced by most refineries worldwide. The settling out of the sand, rust, and heavy fractions in the crude oil results in a loss in ullage in refinery crude storage tanks and eventually brings the refinery problems when slugs of this material are introduced into the plant.


WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Seaweld performs wastewater treatment neutralization tank service for industrial, research, and development facilities to comply with wastewater discharge regulations. Old media is removed, and the tank is cleaned.


MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Seaweld maintains and cleans process vessels and tanks for various industries. Process vessel inspection and equipment repair are part of our preventative maintenance to keep your equipment operating correctly.


FUEL OIL TANK CLEANING

We clean fuel oil tanks of various sizes, from tanks in residential settings to those in extensive fuel distribution facilities. Fuel tanks are entered and cleaned for preventative maintenance, removal of built-up sludge, and during decommissioning of fuel tanks at fuel terminals and distribution centers.


UTILITY MANHOLE AND VAULT CLEANING

Major utility companies contract with Seaweld to enter and clean utility manholes and vaults. Manholes and utility vaults are entered, sludge and debris are removed, and the manhole or vault is power washed clean to ensure the safety of the utility workers during inspections and maintenance.
