Ser­vices

Our extensive services for
industrial large tank farms

We under­stand that ope­ra­ting and main­tai­ning your bulk tank farms impli­es seve­ral chal­lenges. Down­ti­me due to new con­s­truc­tion or decom­mis­sio­ning, the com­ple­xi­ty and demands of ope­ra­ti­ons, and regu­la­to­ry com­pli­ance requi­re exten­si­ve exper­ti­se and careful planning.

This is exact­ly whe­re we assist and offer cus­to­mi­zed solu­ti­ons and opti­miza­ti­on for your faci­li­ties. We are your com­pe­tent part­ner for exten­si­ve ser­vices around indus­tri­al bulk tank farms and che­mi­cal parks.

Overview of our services

From degas­sing via our part­ner com­pa­ny SIS GmbH, to clea­ning of tank faci­li­ties and con­cept deve­lo­p­ment and leaka­ge sys­tems moni­to­ring, we offer a wide ran­ge of ser­vices to opti­mi­ze and pro­tect your faci­li­ties. Through years of expe­ri­ence and inno­va­ti­ve pro­ducts, we not only redu­ce the down­ti­me of your equip­ment, but also extend the life of your tank farms and pro­tect peo­p­le and the envi­ron­ment from risks.

  • Repair work on exis­ting tanks, e.g. new con­s­truc­tion of dou­ble flo­ors and tank roofs (fixed and floa­ting roof), repair and repla­ce­ment of pipelines
  • Wel­ding of cir­cu­lar blanks and repair sheets
  • Repla­ce­ment of exis­ting man­ho­les incl. water jet cutting
  • Inser­ti­on of instal­la­ti­on ope­nings in the tank shell using a water jet, inclu­ding sub­frames in accordance with sta­tic requirements

SOYK GmbH has spe­cial clea­ning robots inclu­ding the asso­cia­ted con­trol unit and suc­tion trol­ley. In terms of occu­pa­tio­nal safe­ty, an important advan­ta­ge is that no per­son­nel is nee­ded insi­de the tank during rough clea­ning (dri­ving). Via an instal­led scaf­fold ramp, the clea­ning robot is inser­ted into the tank via man­ho­le (NW 600). The robot with his came­ra is gui­ded and dri­ven through the tank via moni­tor with the aid of a joy­stick. The ope­ra­tors obser­ve and con­trol the robot via moni­tor from insi­de the con­trol con­tai­ner. The robot is con­nec­ted via a suc­tion line to a suc­tion truck, which trans­ports the remo­ved pro­duct to the dis­po­sal site.

Benefits for the operator

In sum­ma­ry, using the pro­cess descri­bed in SOY­K’s clea­ning con­cept offers the fol­lo­wing advantages:

  • Only one cont­act per­son for tank clea­ning in the gene­ral con­trac­tor con­cept, resul­ting in con­sidera­ble time savings for the was­te­wa­ter tre­at­ment department
  • Signi­fi­cant time savings through coor­di­na­ti­on of the indi­vi­du­al trades, resul­ting in shorter tank downtimes
  • Reduc­tion of emis­si­ons from the tank clea­ning pro­cess to a mini­mum through the use of a com­bus­ti­on cham­ber from ETS Degas­sing GmbH (emis­si­ons protection).
  • No odors due to the com­bus­ti­on cham­ber insert
  • First-time use of a mobi­le A-1 decan­ter sys­tem in com­bi­na­ti­on with a mobi­le com­bus­ti­on cham­ber sys­tem, ther­eby impro­ving emis­si­on pro­tec­tion and occu­pa­tio­nal safety

This includes expert opi­ni­ons in case of acci­dents or oil spills, whe­re an assess­ment of the sub­ject of pro­tec­tion, soil, and ground­wa­ter, is requi­red. Our goal is to offer tail­or-made solu­ti­ons and, in the event of dama­ge, to com­pe­tent­ly assist you in secu­ring or reme­dia­ting soil and ground­wa­ter con­ta­mi­na­ti­on in coor­di­na­ti­on with the respon­si­ble regu­la­to­ry agencies.

Envi­ron­men­tal­ly sound degas­sing of cru­de oil tanks and tank farms is of gre­at importance to ensu­re the pro­tec­tion of the envi­ron­ment, resi­dents and employees. At SOYK GmbH, we rely on advan­ced degas­sing tech­no­lo­gies to effec­tively redu­ce harmful gas­eous emis­si­ons in a pro­ven and con­trol­led man­ner. With this we mini­mi­ze poten­ti­al envi­ron­men­tal impacts and help crea­te a safe, emis­si­on- and odour-free environment.

Ano­ther important aspect of envi­ron­men­tal­ly sound degas­sing is the pre­ven­ti­on of explo­si­ve atmo­sphe­res. SIS degas­sing methods ensu­re that the­se gases are remo­ved and with this eli­mi­na­te the risk of igni­ti­on. This pro­tects employees from poten­ti­al hazards and ensu­res the safe­ty of the enti­re plant.
