Water blasting is the answer for many tank cleaning needs.
Tanks come in all shapes and sizes; in commercial and industrial applications, they can serve as concrete or asphalt mixers, water storage, fuel storage, and hazardous material storage. Over time, even within months, these heavy-duty tanks can become filthy and fail to perform at their peak capacity. That’s where water blasting comes in. Below, we shall learn about how water blasting applies to tank cleaning, and what Jet Blast Inc. can do for you.
The Power of Pressurized Water
Jet Blast Inc.’s water blasting technology can spray water up to a pressure of 40,000 psi. With the right pressure, a water blasting service can remove hardened grime, including cement, tar, and asphalt, as well as all other contaminants with ease. The water will not damage the tank’s surfaces.
Water blasting can also be used for surface preparation, particularly if the surface needs a new coating, such as paint. This method can safely create a new surface that makes it easy for new applications to stick.
Using pressure washing for tank cleaning has multiple benefits. It is environmentally friendly, does not produce hazardous fumes, eliminates dust, and is easy to clean up. In winter, water blasting professionals can use hot or warm water to prevent freezing.
Three Methods of Water Blasting
- Manual: Manual water blasting is best for jobs requiring the most human intuition to get unique angles within the tank. It is the most affordable option as well.
- Semi-automatic: Semi-automatic tank cleaning uses automated water blasting technology that allows for some human intervention throughout the process.
- Automatic: Automatic water blasting makes tank cleaning swift, easy, and precise. It is best for extremely precise cleaning within a structure with simple and repetitive elements.
Confined Space Cleaning Specialization
Tank cleaning is a form of confined space cleaning, which comes with strict safety and practice regulations to prevent dangers such as asphyxiation, entrapment, and chemical explosions. Jet Blast Inc. can evaluate the case and decide whether putting a man in the tank or going with a no-entry method is best.
