Above-ground tank cleaning (AST) — all types and sizes

Above-ground tanks (AST – Above-ground Storage Tank) are the most common type of industrial storage tank.

Above-ground tank cleaning (AST)
in North Macedonia

Above-ground tanks (AST – Above-ground Storage Tank) are the most common type of industrial storage tank. Their advantages are easier access for maintenance and faster leak detection, but the technical requirements for cleaning are high — confined space work, atmospheric measurement, safety procedures.

EZO TEH works with above-ground tanks of every capacity — from small 1,000-litre tanks to large storage tanks of 500,000 litres and more. We hold ADR certification for all classes of hazardous substances and training for confined space work.

Our team is equipped with all the necessary tools — atmospheric measuring instruments, LOTO equipment, protective clothing, supplied-air respirators. All work follows detailed, documented safety procedures. We issue complete documentation for internal audits and inspections.

Questions
we are asked most often

What is the difference between AST and UST?
AST — above ground, easier access. UST — underground, more expensive to clean because of restricted access.
How long does AST cleaning take?
Depending on size — small 5-10m³ one day, large 100m³+ 2-5 days.
Does the AST have to be emptied completely?
Yes, the tank must be emptied. We blow out the residue through our system.
Which products are used?
Depending on the contents — biological products for fuel, specific neutralizers for chemicals and food-safe products for food.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the capacity and contents — the estimate is free, following a technical assessment.
