Imperial has opened a new tank cleaning facility, to extend its cleaning services for third parties as well as its own Netherlands-based tanker fleet.
The new facility at Terneuzen replaces Imperial’s smaller operational site at Axel. It has three separate cleaning bays: two for standard chemical products (operating at 100-200 bar pressure and with 5-6 cleaning heads), and a third cleaning line with a re-circulation cleaning system for heavy-duty cleaning of substances such as latex or synthetic resins.
IBC (Intermediate Bulk Containers) cleaning can also be performed at the new station, while the extended steam facilities allow tank heating out of hours and on weekends.
René van de Ven, Managing Director at Imperial in the Netherlands, adds: “The investment in the new cleaning station at Terneuzen supports our policy to continuously increase our services and raise safety to the highest level – in line with our other tank cleaning sites, at Krems (Austria) and Salzgitter (Germany).”
