Tank Cleaning Solutions

Innovating Tank Cleaning for Africa

EarthWize's tank cleaning division represents the leading edge of environmental technology in South Africa. Our approach eliminates the risks associated with confined space entry while delivering superior cleaning results — faster, safer, and more cost-effective than traditional methods.

Operating across petroleum storage facilities, refineries, chemical plants, and mining sites, our team deploys a suite of specialised equipment matched to each tank's specific requirements — from light fuel tanks to heavy bitumen storage.

• No Man Entry (NME) operations as standard
• ATEX Zone 0 certified equipment throughout
• Robotic and automated cleaning systems
• Mobile liquification for heavy sludge mobilisation
• EX-rated camera inspection before and after
• Full hazardous waste handling and disposal

Robotic Tank Cleaning System

EarthWize operates one of the most advanced robotic tank cleaning systems in South Africa. Fully automated and remotely operated, our robotic system delivers consistent, high-standard cleaning results across the entire tank interior — without a single person entering the confined space.

The robotic platform navigates tank floors, walls, and hard-to-reach areas, applying precisely controlled cleaning pressure while simultaneously extracting residual product and waste material.

Before and after every tank cleaning operation, EarthWize conducts a full internal inspection using our ATEX Zone 0 certified camera system. This allows our team to accurately assess tank condition, identify areas requiring special attention, and verify cleaning completion — all without entering the tank.

The EX-rated camera system is equally suited to pipeline inspection, offering horizontal and vertical deployment with full LED illumination and real-time pressure and temperature monitoring.
