Cleaning Services
Our cleaning facility uses a multi-stage process engineered to handle everything from simple rinse jobs to deep decontamination of tanks that held heavy chemicals. We operate both a standard industrial cleaning line and a separate FDA-compliant line for food-grade and pharmaceutical containers.
All cleaning is performed at our Hayward facility using a closed-loop water reclamation system. Wastewater is treated and recycled, reducing our water consumption by 70% compared to open-loop systems. Chemical rinse agents are selected based on the previous contents of each tank and are fully neutralized before discharge.

Reconditioning goes beyond cleaning to fully restore the tank. In addition to deep cleaning, reconditioning includes cage repair, valve replacement, gasket renewal, pallet assessment, and updated certification marks. A reconditioned tank is functionally equivalent to new.
