Crude oil tanker — Demucking & gas-freeing
Tanks cleared and washed down, with independent certification arranged separately as the correct next step.
This is a scope pattern — how we approach a job of this shape — rather than a write-up of one specific contract. Real, permission-cleared case studies are published as they become available.
The problem
Heavy compacted sludge around bellmouths and heating coils requiring removal before a gas-free-for-hot-work certificate could be pursued.
How we worked it
Rotating teams worked under full enclosed-space entry regime with continuous monitoring and manned rescue standby, with residues quantified and landed to an approved facility.
The outcome
Tanks cleared and washed down, with independent certification arranged separately as the correct next step.
The service behind it
Demucking
Manual and mechanical removal of sludge, scale and solid residue from tanks before survey, repair or grade change.
