Industrial Tank & Vessel Cleaning

Process vessel cleaning without confined-space water lances or hazardous solvent.

The problem this solves

Process vessel cleaning without confined-space water lances or hazardous solvent.

Process vessels, silos and mixing tanks accumulate residues that resist chemical or water-based cleaning, especially in food, pharma and chemical industries. Confined-space cleaning carries safety risk and long shutdowns. Dry ice cleaning removes process residues with reduced confined-space exposure and no chemical inventory.

What you can expect

  • Food mixing tanks
  • Chemical reactors (between batches)
  • Silos with caked product
  • Pharma reactors

Benefits

Why dry ice for tank & vessel cleaning

Reduced solvent inventory

Eliminate hazardous solvent baths and rinse cycles.

Lower confined-space risk

Less cleaning solution = less hazmat exposure inside the vessel.

No water in vessels

Surfaces clean dry — no carry-over to next batch.

Process

How a typical tank & vessel cleaning job runs

  1. 1

    Permit & lockout

    Standard confined-space and lock-out / tag-out procedures.

  2. 2

    CO₂ ventilation

    Forced ventilation maintained throughout to manage CO₂ exposure.

  3. 3

    Internal blast

    Pellets directed across walls, agitator blades and outlets.

Surfaces & limits

Where this service works well — and the situations we'll flag for repair instead of cleaning.

Works on
  • Stainless vessels
  • Glass-lined reactors (with care)
  • Carbon-steel silos
  • Agitators & paddles
Doesn’t work on
  • Vessels still pressurised or under hazardous atmosphere — must be made safe first

Service-specific FAQs

Do you handle confined-space permits?

We work to your site’s permit-to-work system. Our crews are trained in confined-space entry and CO₂ atmosphere management.

Can you clean glass-lined reactors?

Yes, with care — pressure tuned to avoid glass-lining damage. We test on inconspicuous areas first.
