Tank calibration & cleaning

Why tanks fail without proper care

Smartflow tank calibration — aboveground storage tank deployment

Sludge & Sediment Build-up

Sludge on the tank floor eats volume, blocks dispenser filters and kills pumps.

Water Contamination

Water in the tank breeds microbes, accelerates corrosion and degrades the product.

Inaccurate Calibration Charts

Wrong charts mean wrong dip and ATG readings — and lost deliveries you cannot prove.

Corrosion & Wall Deterioration

An unprotected interior corrodes, and a corroded tank eventually leaks.

ATG Probe Inaccuracies

Debris around the probe distorts level and temperature, so reconciliation stops working.

Calibration services

Certified volumetric calibration

Vertical and horizontal tanks, with certified charts for sign-off.

Vertical Tank Calibration

Certified volumetric calibration of vertical USTs and ASTs.

Horizontal Tank Calibration

Horizontal cylindrical tanks, corrected for tilt, deformation and dip-point variation.

Calibration Chart Generation

Certified strapping tables per dip level, submitted for regulatory sign-off.

ATG Probe Verification

ATG probe readings checked against physical measurement after calibration.

Precision Measurement

Certified dip rods, laser tools and volumetric reference standards, not judgement.

Our 6-step process

The same controlled sequence every time, from isolation to signed certificate.

Confined space entry

Full HSE protocol on every entry

Safety Assessment & Isolation

Site inspection, atmosphere testing and isolation before anyone goes in.

Product Removal & Slop Handling

Remaining product extracted and segregated to environmental regulations.

Mechanical Cleaning

High-pressure wash with Graco Hydraclean cleaners to lift the sludge.

Sludge Extraction & Disposal

Sludge vacuumed out on Husky air pumps and disposed of through approved channels.

Internal Inspection & Defect Mapping

Walls, floor and fittings inspected; defects recorded and reported.

Key benefits

What calibration recovers

Up to 90% Loss Recovery

Closes the measurement gap that lets delivery losses go unnoticed.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliant certificates protect the operating licence.

Accurate Inventory Data

Correct charts make dip readings, ATG data and reconciliation auditable.

Extended Tank Service Life

Remove the sludge and water and the tank stops corroding from the inside.

Improved Fuel Quality

Clean storage means clean product at the nozzle.
