Industrial tank cleaning & material recovery
Cleaning, recovery & outage support
Tank cleaning starts with understanding what is inside the tank and what the facility needs next. EGM combines vacuum recovery, industrial cleaning, and disposal coordination for qualifying tank, pit, sump, and separator projects across its Midwest service territory.

Plan the work around your facility.
Whether the work supports routine maintenance, a planned shutdown, or an urgent recovery need, the scope should account for the material, access, operating conditions, and receiving requirements.
Connect cleaning with material recovery
- Recover accumulated material: Review liquids, sludge, slurry, or residual material for the appropriate vacuum truck service.
- Remove difficult buildup: Discuss hydroblasting and industrial cleaning for suitable tanks, vessels, and process equipment.
- Plan the receiving path: Coordinate waste hauling and disposal based on the material profile and receiving-facility requirements.
- Work around the outage: Include tank work in a defined shutdown or turnaround scope.
What to share when requesting tank service
- Facility location, tank type, dimensions, and available access.
- Material source, estimated volume, and available analytical or product information.
- Known hazards, isolation requirements, and any confined-space considerations.
- The cleaning objective, requested schedule, and on-site contact.
EGM reviews the site and material information before confirming equipment, work methods, and scheduling. A cleaning request does not establish waste acceptance; receiving requirements must be confirmed for the specific material.
Tank contents with known PFAS impacts
If PFAS is known or suspected in the material, identify it in your inquiry and share available analysis. Read about EGM’s PFAS-impacted water, soil, and sludge removal coordination before requesting pickup.
Plan your tank cleaning project
