Looking to streamline your industrial cleaning operations?

IKM Testing UK offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to tackle even the most challenging cleaning tasks in pipelines, tanks, and process equipment, utilising methods that optimise cleaning efficiency while minimising both personnel exposure and waste generation.

For heavily contaminated tanks, such as those containing hydrocarbons or scale, we deploy a closed-loop vacuum cleaning system with steam and chemical injection. This innovative approach significantly reduces the amount of liquid waste added back into the system.

For extensive pipelines, our specialised high-performance rotofans ensure maximum cleaning efficiency.

One of our most environmentally friendly services is on-site water treatment. We can filter contaminated liquids, separating usable water from pollutants, and achieving a waste reduction of up to a remarkable 98%. The filtered water is then treated to meet strict purity standards for sea disposal. Additionally, we offer a full suite of chemical cleaning services, utilising the latest and safest methods to remove deposits quickly and cost-effectively.

When it comes to surface cleaning, IKM Testing provides high-pressure hydrojetting with a range of 700 to 2700 bar. Our specialised nozzles are specifically chosen to target the type of system and contaminants present. For particularly stubborn deposits, our ultra-high-pressure water acts like a powerful chisel, effortlessly removing even thick concrete build-up. We also offer standard hot water washing for general surface cleaning needs.

With our extensive range of cleaning techniques and industry-leading equipment, IKM Testing is uniquely positioned to deliver customised industrial cleaning solutions that maximise efficiency and minimise waste.

Pros & Limitations

Reduces personnel entry and exposure to hazardous environments

Closed cleaning systems minimize waste

Removes heavy contamination like scale and hydrocarbons

Filters and recycles cleaning liquids

Removes mercury and radioactive substances

Optimises cleaning methods for speed, cost and safety

Meets stringent environmental requirements

While steam can reach incredibly high temperatures, typically around 100°C, practical use can be restricted by the materials being cleaned.

Specification

Specification Title	Specification Description
Tank Cleaning	We work actively to optimize our cleaning operations so that personnel entry into tanks is reduced to a minimum. We have extensive experience in vacuum cleaning, where waste is collected directly to mud tanks in a closed system.
Cleaning in Place (CIP)	We have many methods for cleaning on site, but one of the methods that provides the greatest benefit for our customers is our water treatment system. We filter contaminated liquid and separate water from contamination in order to reduce the amount of waste by up to 98%.
Chemical Cleaning	IKM Testing performs chemical cleaning of pipes, tanks, heat exchangers and other systems. We work actively with chemical suppliers and customers to remove deposits in a more cost effective, faster and safer way.
Hydrojetting	IKM Testing offers most techniques for cleaning with water under high pressure. We have a high level of expertise in choosing the right nozzles, and adapt the nozzles to the system to be cleaned and the type and degree of contamination.
UHP Cleaning	We also offer ultra high pressure cleaning (UHP 2700 bar). This pressurised water is used as a chisel to remove thick concrete from surfaces.
