Why Choose Tank Foam Filling?

Tank foam filling brings various benefits that make it the ideal solution for most commercial and residential properties, such as:

  • It is lightweight, weighing around 25kg per 1000L, making its filling and removal extremely easy and time-efficient.
  • Foam filling can be both an everlasting and a temporary solution because the foam can be removed in the future, allowing you to use the tank again if needed.
  • The process is economical as it requires minimal equipment and involves rapid degassing of the tank before foam injection.
  • This foam is highly resistant to inorganic solvents and guarantees a safe installation process. It can withstand external factors, even after the oil tank deteriorates.
  • Foam filling is eco-friendly, rot-proof, and absorbs all hydrocarbons to prevent gas build-up. It also protects tank walls from rust and corrosion, facilitating reusability.

Things to Consider Before Tank Foam Filling

Before the tank foam filling process, there are multiple factors you should have in mind.

  • Inspecting the tank's condition is significant to look for corrosion or structural damage.
  • Consider the size and the capacity, ensuring a suitable amount of foam is used.
  • Keep in mind that you should select the type of foam that satisfies the requirements of your space.
  • High thermal resistance and exceptional adhesion properties to cover any potential leaks or gaps.
  • Remember that the foam filling should comply with the Environmental Agency regulations and codes.

FAQs

What is a tank foam filling?

Tank foam filling is a process of decommissioning and removal of your existing tank to secure it. Your tank will be filled with RG22 foam by professionals if it cannot be cleaned and removed. This is how your oil tank will not be affected by flammable gases or explosive vapour.

How will my foam-filled tank work?

Your foam-filled tank will absorb the residual liquid at the bottom and keep it secure from hydrocarbons. If your fuel tank has stored petrol, you can inform our licensed experts and a secure system of work will be submitted for approval.

What is the right time to replace a fuel tank?

The life expectancy of a modern fuel tank which is regularly maintained is estimated at 20 to 25 years. If your tank is outdated or not regularly maintained, it will be prone to corrosion, fatigue and issues.
