Tank and tanker cleaning in North Macedonia

Professional cleaning of fuel tanks, industrial tanks and road tankers. ADR-certified team, biological products, full documentation. 17 years of experience, since 2009.

Tank and tanker cleaning
since 2009.

Tank and tanker cleaning is one of the most demanding industrial jobs — it involves confined-space work, flammable and toxic substances, certified staff and specialized equipment. Our team holds ADR classification for work with dangerous goods classes and every certificate the job requires.

EZO TEH works with every type of tank and tanker — tanks for fuel and petroleum products, industrial tanks for oil, acids and food raw materials, road tankers and tanker trucks, as well as drinking water and wastewater tanks. For each type we have the right biological products, equipment and documentation.

Our process starts with a detailed assessment of the contents, continues with biological products that break down sediment, biofilm and deposits, and ends with full documentation, including samples taken before and after cleaning. All waste is disposed of via ADR transport to licensed landfills.

Fuel tanks (AST and UST)

Removal of sediment, water and biofilm from above-ground and underground diesel, petrol and heavy fuel oil tanks. Atmosphere testing before entry, full documentation.

Road tanker and tanker truck washing

Interior and exterior washing, with disinfection for food transport. A cleaning certificate for every load. Fast service — 2–3h per tanker.

Industrial tanks

Chemical, pharmaceutical and food-grade tanks. Products safe for food-contact surfaces, microbiological analysis, biological products matched to the contents.

Water tanks

Cleaning and disinfection of drinking water, process water and wastewater tanks. Sanitary-grade products, microbiological testing after treatment.

Leak testing

Air, vacuum and hydrostatic tests to EN 13160. Technical inspection certificate — mandatory for all underground tanks.

Tank repair with plastic lining

Restoration of damaged tanks with an internal plastic lining. Extends service life by 20+ years without replacing the tank.

Sampling and laboratory analysis

Professional sampling before and after cleaning, transport to accredited laboratories, results included in the official documentation.

ADR waste disposal

All waste material — fuel, sludge, biofilm — goes by ADR transport to licensed landfills. Full accompanying documentation.

What working
with us looks like

From the first call to the final documentation — a transparent, documented and compliant process.

01

On-site assessment and analysis

Our specialist comes to the site, inspects the tank, takes a sample of the contents and identifies the type of contaminants. Based on that, we choose the right products, equipment and safety procedures.

02

Work and safety planning

We prepare a safety plan (LOTO — Lockout/Tagout, work procedures, atmosphere testing) and schedule the work around your operations — night shifts, weekends or planned shutdowns.

03

Emptying and preparing the tank

Any remaining contents are diverted or pumped into a transport vehicle. The interior is ventilated and explosive gas and oxygen levels are measured before entry. Everything in line with safety regulations.

04

Cleaning — mechanical + biological

The interior is rinsed with pressurized water, then biological products are applied to break down biofilm, sludge and organic deposits. For tougher cases we use a combined approach — chemical + mechanical.

05

Inspection, sampling and documentation

After cleaning — visual inspection, a control sample and, where needed, microbiological or chemical analysis. We issue a full report: before-and-after photo documentation, samples, waste disposal certificates.

Questions
we are asked most often

How long does it take to clean a standard fuel tank?
It depends on the size and the level of contamination. Standard road tanker — 2 to 3 hours. Above-ground tank with a capacity of 10,000–50,000 litres — one working day. Large storage tanks (100,000+ litres) are planned in phases over 2–5 working days.
Does the tank have to be completely empty before cleaning?
Yes, the tank must be emptied before our team goes in. We transfer any remaining contents (residual fuel, sludge) to a transport vehicle and dispose of them under ADR procedures. You do not have to arrange this emptying yourself — it is part of our service.
Do you also wash the outside of road tankers?
Yes. We wash road tankers inside (high pressure and biological products) and outside (commercial wash + wax). For hauliers we offer regular service packages on better monthly terms.
What certificates do you hold for work with hazardous substances?
We hold full ADR certification for transporting and handling dangerous goods classes, confined-space work certification, LOTO training and MSDS documentation for every product. We send the documentation on request before the job starts.
What happens to the waste from the tanks?
All waste material — contaminated fuel, sludge, biofilm, sediment — is transported in ADR vehicles to licensed landfills and disposal facilities. Every load comes with a transport document, a CMR and final proof of disposal. Everything complies with the Law on Waste Management.
Can you clean food-grade tanks that come into contact with food?
Yes. For food-grade tanks we use products and procedures that are safe for food-contact surfaces. After cleaning we take a microbiological sample for analysis at an accredited laboratory — the results form part of the official documentation. The tanks can go back into production once the results are verified.
How much does tank cleaning cost?
The price depends on the tank size, the type of contents, the level of contamination and site access. Standard road tanker — flat rate. Larger tanks — individual quote after assessment. For clients with several tanks or a vehicle fleet — package terms.
Do you offer rapid response?
Yes. Our team is available for rapid response — tank leaks, fuel contamination, spill clean-up. Response time in Skopje — 2 hours, in other major towns — 4 hours, rest of North Macedonia — up to 8 hours.
