Introducing the OTS ADR Vac Tanker: High Pressure Jetting and Environmental Services

With the introduction of our ADR Vac Tanker, we are now able to provide advanced high pressure jetting services and environmental solutions, ensuring efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance for fuel operations and tank decommissioning projects.


At OTS, we’re always innovating to deliver the best in fuel storage and environmental solutions.

What is the OTS ADR Vac Tanker?

The OTS ADR Vac Tanker is a cutting-edge solution that combines two essential functionalities:

  • High Pressure Jetting: Industrial-grade jetting for effective cleaning and material removal. With pressure up to 20,000 psi, applications include surface preparation, descaling, and drainage cleaning. 

  • High-Capacity Vacuumation: Quickly extracts large volumes of fuel, waste, sludge, and hazardous materials from tanks, bunds and other industrial sites.

This ADR-compliant unit is specifically designed for handling hazardous materials safely and efficiently. Whether your project involves tank decommissioning, emergency spill response, or industrial cleaning, the OTS ADR Vac Tanker is built to perform.

Applications in Tank Decommissioning

Our ADR Vac Tanker is integral to tank decommissioning projects, offering reliable and efficient support at every stage:

  • Thorough Cleaning for Decommissioning: The high-pressure jetting capabilities ensure tanks are free of contaminants, making the dismantling or removal process safer and more effective (see our article on Health & Safety led fuel tank decommissioning for more information about our methods).

  • Safe Fuel Uplift and Disposal: Using the high-capacity vacuumation system, we can efficiently remove residual fuel for transport to the OTS Waste Licensed facility (see our article on the 'We Buy Any Fuel' scheme for more information on fuel polishing or how we can dispose of or recondition your contaminated fuels in compliance with the Registered Dealers in Controlled Oils (RDCO) scheme).

  • Comprehensive Waste Management: Our ADR tanker handles both hazardous and non-hazardous materials, ensuring a cleaner, safer worksite. Waste collected is processed and disposed of at our Waste Licensed Facility, offering clients a fully compliant, end-to-end service.

Supporting Tank Maintenance

Regular tank maintenance and inspections are essential to ensure operational efficiency and compliance. The ADR Vac Tanker supports these critical processes by:

  • Enabling thorough fuel tank cleaning 

  • Providing a clean external environment for effective tank inspections (including external Non-Destructive Testing)

  • Removing tank contents to enable ASNT NDT Level 3 Full Internal Inspections (Internal Non-Destructive Testing recommended every 10 years)

  • Offering a rapid solution for emergency spill clean-ups, minimising damage to infrastructure and the environment.

Environmentally Responsible High Pressure Jetting Services

At OTS, we prioritise sustainability in every project. The ADR Vac Tanker aligns with this commitment by offering environmentally responsible solutions that minimise waste and reduce contamination risks. Its high-pressure jetting and vacuumation capabilities ensure that waste is managed efficiently and safely, reducing the environmental impact of industrial operations.

By processing and disposing of all collected waste at our Waste Licensed Facility, we ensure compliance with environmental regulations while supporting clients in adopting greener practices.
