Case Study: Container clean,

Our Industrial Cleaning Division carries out a range of services including being called out to clean unaccompanied truck trailers shipped into Thames Europort.

The trailer had unwelcome guests onboard. Illegal immigrants had travelled across Europe inside the trailer and had soiled it.

Our trained operatives who all receive medical vaccines against diseases such as Hepatitis, cleaned the trailer to the satisfaction of the client and insurers.

Background.

Kemsley Paper Mill Kent is one of the largest if not largest newsprint processing plants in Europe.

All waste paper that cannot be recycled is burnt within a combined heat and power plant to supply heat & electrical power to the site process.

This large plant was put in to commission in partnership with Powergen.

The central combustion plant is sand based fluidised bed within a plant approx. 23 meters High with a bed diameter of approx. 6 meters.

Task by Oil & Water Limited

The residual non-combustible ash has to be removed from the fluidised bed approx. every 8 weeks to maintain high combustion efficiency.

The ash is hazardous and at all times no discharge of ash/dust is permitted. Oil & Water Limited proposed a sealed industrial vacuum and sealed bag process to fully satisfy the high customer & environmental requirement. These works have to be carried out within a rigid 48 hr. time frame. With no failure accepted by client.

In addition to the regular engineering process carried out. Oil & Water also manage the safe disposal of wastes off site monitoring & controlling cost on behalf of the customer.
