Chemical waste disposal refers to the proper and safe management of waste materials that contain hazardous or potentially harmful chemicals. This includes substances that can pose risks to human health or the environment if not handled and disposed of correctly. The goal of chemical waste disposal is to minimize the impact of these substances on ecosystems and prevent them from causing harm. Our expertise in this area include:
We offer reliable collection and transportation services for chemical waste. Our well-equipped fleet and trained professionals ensure the safe and efficient transfer of waste from your facility to our disposal facilities.
We understand the importance of proper waste segregation to prevent contamination and ensure compliance. Our experts will assist you in segregating different types of chemical waste, facilitating streamlined disposal processes.

We handle all necessary paperwork and regulatory compliance associated with chemical waste disposal. You can rely on us to maintain accurate records and provide the documentation required for legal and audit purposes.
When diesel is bulk stored without treatment for longer than 6-12 months 
it can become contaminated. Dirty fuel ultimately is a threat to your critical systems, loss of standby power, business continuity and could cost thousands in damage if left untreated.
Contaminants in your stored fuel are incredibly harmful to emergency generators and their ageing infrastructures as it can damage clog filters, fuel injectors and if your tank has layers of build-up it can cause detrimental oil spills from tank/pipe failure and overfills. Our sampling and testing service analyses the water, particulate and chemicals, checking the quality of your stored fuel and determines next steps which could include: fuel cleaning, fuel uplifting or a new supply.
If your fuel sample and testing highlights your fuel is out of specification as it contains high levels of suspended water or particulate contamination, we can clean, filter and polish your stored fuel back to Class A2 Refinery grade specification for both water and particulate.
In general terms, more than 90% of contamination can be found in the bottom 10% of the tank! We have a range of specialist probes, pipes and pumps that draw up this section of the tank enabling us to filter your fuel more effectively.
Our systems are capable of processing more than 100,000 litres in a single day! We have a range of fuel cleaning platforms, giving us options for any project whatever the size and nature of the fuel to be cleaned.
Once the contaminated fuel is removed, we will provide a full report and waste certification, under the terms of its EA waste permit licence for evidence that your fuel is maintained by specialists and you’ll have ‘peace of mind’ it’s reliable.
There are many reasons to consider why your stored fuel needed filtering, polishing and cleaning. It could just be part of your regular proactive maintenance plan or it could be because of a wider issue that your tank and its infrastructure needs testing and cleaningwhich is why you’ve experienced fuel that’s out of specification.
Industrial tank cleaning is a crucial process in various sectors such as manufacturing, petrochemicals, food processing, and wastewater treatment. It involves the removal of residue, contaminants, and other unwanted materials from tanks, vessels, and other storage containers used in industrial processes.
Keeping your tanks clean, protects from contamination and degradation 
for both your fuel and your tank.
Finally, the tank is jet washed, dried and inspected by our specialist team. Proper planning, adherence to safety protocols, and the use of appropriate cleaning methods are essential for successful tank cleaning operations.
NDT testing is “non-destructive testing” and is the application of 
measurement techniques in order to identify damage and irregularities in the material of the tank. It’s vital, as NDT is seen as the only method of being able to see the current ‘health’ of a tank.
NDT tests include a range of different tests and services and are dependent upon your unique requirements. Tests may include:
Our skilled workforce, are trained to the standards required by OCTEL, HSE and MOD SRP3. We have a wealth of experience in fuel tank and pipe installations. Whether you are implementing a one-off project or you’re installing a new tank as it’s part of a full site decommissioning, we understand and can meet the unique needs and demands of our clients across the UK.
We can install and commission both metal and plastic tanks for:
We can compliantly decommission tank storage facilities up to and including COMAH registered infrastructure, above ground or below ground tank (or many tanks). Tank cutting, tank removal and any subsequent civil works.
Your fuel tank may need decommissioning if it is out of warranty, you’ve 
recently discovered buried tank, a complex pipework system, damaged infrastructure, failed a specific tank test or is registered as too much of a risk by a client (typically both environmentally and commercially) our team are able to help.
We have a rich history of delivering tank decommissioning projects to large public sector clients. As a Commercial Services supplier, we have successfully supported public sector clients in utilising the most recent available frameworks.
