Our
advantages in employing the most advanced technology available into the
field of tank cleaning helps us to meet our objectives, which are:
- to maximize human safety in the physical act of cleaning
- to maximize tank cleaning efficiency & effectiveness
- to minimize the impact of to the environment.
We excell in two main areas of technology: Mechanical
and Chemical
Mechanical Technology:
The mechanical devices utilized by ICS are designed
to automatically spray cleaning fluid in a pre-programmed pattern into
the tank. The first device lowered into the tanks is composed of a three
nozzle programmable machine which concentrates on breaking up the “settled
out” bed in the bottom of a tank. The second mechanical device
consists of biaxial rotary machine that accomplishes 360 degree cleaning,
removing residuals from the walls, ceiling and bottom of the tanks.
The resulting "slurry" of cleaning fluid and mud residue is
then pumped from the tank for recycling or disposal.

Quality
Surfactants are obviously important in their ability to break down mud
residue in the tanks. ICS employs new age surfactants that are not only
extremely effective in their cleaning performance but are:
Environmentally Friendly
- Completely biodegradable
- Non-toxic and harmless to the operator
- Extremely low foam producers
- Cost effective
These new age surfactants
are more powerful and are able to break down the “sludge”
with amazing effectiveness. This results in less waste product to be
disposed of, reduced costs in disposal and less harm to the environment.
By utilizing the most advanced chemistry and technology,
ICS is able to clean tanks with water based solvents that carry a neutral
pH. Further, these surfactants when used in conjunction with a vortex
clarifying system, allows for the recycling of the water used in combination
with the solvents, thereby drastically reducing the water consumed,
contaminated and disposed of in the tank cleaning process.
