Cleaning of Steel Tanks – Underground & Above-Ground
Professional Tank Cleaning Services to Ensure Safety, Longevity & Compliance
Steel storage tanks are vital assets in the petroleum industry, but over time they accumulate sludge, rust, sediment, and fuel residue. If not cleaned regularly, these contaminants can compromise fuel quality, damage equipment, and even cause environmental hazards. At Masakhe Isizwe Petroleum (M.I.P Group), we provide specialized cleaning of underground and above-ground steel tanks, ensuring your tanks remain safe, compliant, and efficient.
Since 2016, we have been committed to delivering more than fuel — we deliver complete petroleum solutions. Our tank cleaning division uses advanced methods and strict safety protocols to restore tanks to optimal condition, helping businesses avoid costly breakdowns, contamination, and non-compliance penalties.
Why Tank Cleaning is Essential
- Fuel Quality: Contaminants in tanks can cause blockages, corrosion, and poor combustion efficiency.
- Safety: Built-up residues increase fire and explosion risks.
- Regulatory Compliance: South African environmental laws and petroleum safety standards require proper maintenance and cleaning.
