Heating Oil

Revision

We offer two revision options

  • Revision with interior cleaning
  • the visual inspection

Both must be carried out and reported every ten years. We recommend an inspection with internal cleaning because: Deposits are removed, blockages are reduced, combustion is more optimal, damage is detected early, maximum operational safety is ensured, the value of your property is maintained and insurance cover is guaranteed.

We recommend a tank inspection with internal cleaning to proactively optimize your system:

A tank overhaul with internal cleaning in a 10-year cycle is a Essential maintenance milestone. Temperature fluctuations generate condensation, which sinks together with fine particles to form an aggressive oil sludge (electrolyte). This sludge becomes a galvanic element, which sooner or later massively disrupts the function of the oil burner and leads to blockages.

With our interior cleaning deactivate we eliminate this risk. We remove all deposits using state-of-the-art processes and guarantee environmentally compliant disposal in accordance with the strictest legal regulations. This is followed by a comprehensive Technology check of the mechanical tank condition and the calibration of all safety-related components (such as filling safety device, tank compartment and leak detector). We optimize your system for the next ten years.

Workflow:

Arrival with inspection vehicle incl. trailer (group leader and assistant)
Creating a temporary heating system and setting up the workplace. Visual inspection of the tank room.
Pumping the heating oil from the storage tank into the tank trailer.
Clean and dry out the tank.
Technical inspection of the tank interior, including checking for any corrosion or other defects.
Condition check of filling and venting line.
Inspection of safety equipment such as filling safety device and leak warning device.
Pumping the healing oil back from the tank trailer into the clean storage tank.
Functional test and final inspection including the legally required reports.
Notification of execution to the competent authority.

A visual inspection of heating oil tanks is an external, visual inspection of the tank, the supply lines and the tank compartment for condition and tightness, which is required at least every 10 years for systems requiring a permit.

We recommend a visual inspection only for tanks that will be removed or taken out of service within the next 3 years.
No liability can be accepted for any defects and the resulting damage.

Refurbishment

Thorough analysis and planning before implementation are crucial. We support you with clarifications and a refurbishment offer. We differentiate between small, underground systems and systems installed in tank rooms. All the details about your tank renovation.

We differentiate between small tank systems, underground tanks and tanks that are located in a tank room.

Here you will find everything you need to know about tank refurbishment.

New tank systems

The design requires extensive expertise. We offer a wide range of tank types: PE combination tanks, individual tanks, battery systems, steel tanks for cellars, cylindrical steel tanks for underground installation and spherical tanks. We realize the perfect solution for every situation.

  • PE combination tanks
  • Single tanks
  • Battery tank systems
  • Steel tanks for the cellar
  • Cylindrical steel tanks
  • Spherical tank

Whether vision, limited space or complex construction plans: we transform your specific situation into a pioneering tank solution.

Line construction

Professional planning and execution of the lines is essential. We install:

  • Vent lines
  • Product lines, monitored or unmonitored
  • Vapor recovery lines
  • Burner lines
  • Water pipes – only for rainwater or gray water

On request, we are happy to manage the entire coordination between the construction management and all the tradespeople involved.

Decommissioning the tank

Professional decommissioning must be carried out by a specialist company. Our work steps: Removal of residual oil and sludge, cleaning and degassing, flushing of the lines, safe sealing of the lines (“blanking”), official deregistration with the authorities, carrying out any covering work, ensuring tank room ventilation and compliance with all safety regulations.

The following work is carried out during a shutdown:

Dismantling

Dismantling must be carried out by a trained specialist. Our work steps:

We rely on pioneering dismantling technology: our tanks are almost exclusively dismantled using the innovative cold process. We use specialized high-performance machines for precise and controlled dismantling, which guarantees 100% smoke and soot-free processing. This is an unbeatable advantage for the environment and takes the pressure off our specialists. Cutting with acetylene and oxygen is only used in the most complex exceptional cases.

Frequently asked questions

When is the ideal time to clean the interior?

Heating oil tanks should be inspected with internal cleaning every ten years.

The last revision date: Where can I view it?

The date of the last work carried out can be found on the audit sticker on the tank compartment door.

Are the costs higher for inspections in winter?

No. We will provide you with a temporary heating system free of charge.

What is the maximum number of liters that can be removed without additional costs?

Maximum 15,000 liters.
