Some residues stay on the steel after mechanical demucking. High-pressure (HP) and ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water jetting removes them without chemicals and prepares the surfaces for fine cleaning, inspection or coating work.
Where we use HP/UHP washing
- Residue stripping Clinging cargo and fuel oil residues on bulkheads, frames and bottoms.
- Surface preparation Removal of loose scale and old residues before coating repairs.
- Hard-to-reach areas Structural pockets, behind stiffeners and around heating coils.
- Between demucking and fine cleaning For many crude and fuel oil histories, HP/UHP washing is the step between the two.
Planned around the tank
The pressure and method depend on the coating condition, the residue type and the required cleanliness. We plan jetting as part of the cleaning programme, with the wash water collected and disposed of together with the other residues.
To plan the job, send us the last cargoes, the tanks involved, the estimated residue volume, the next employment and where the vessel will be. We will come back with a programme that fits the port call or yard period.
Why Bodursan
- Planned with the port call Our agency team aligns crews, permits, waste reception and yard or terminal slots, so cleaning does not hold the vessel up.
- Safety first in enclosed spaces Gas measurements, entry permits, ventilation and standby arrangements are in place before anyone enters a tank.
- Waste handled properly Every residue removed from the tanks is collected, delivered to authorised receivers and documented for the ship's records.
- Coverage across Turkey From the Tuzla head office we work in Tuzla, Yalova and Izmit Bay shipyards, at Istanbul and Dardanelles anchorages and in the main Turkish ports.
