What is Fuel Uplifting?
Fuel uplifting is the process of removing unwanted or excess fuel oils from a tank or storage vat. Fuel uplifting can be used to move the fuel to a new home, or to remove it entirely. Fuel uplift can include:
- Removing fuel from a tank and placing it in a new tank on site
- Removing fuel from a tank and transporting it to a new site
- Removing the fuel completely from the site
It is a legal requirement on all companies that transport and store large quantities of fuels or oils to ensure that all waste fuels are disposed of safely and in an environmentally friendly manner.
Which fuels and oils can be uplifted?
- Red diesel (gas oil)
- White diesel (DERV)
- Kerosene
- Industrial heating oil
- Coolants
- Transformer oils
- Oily rags
- and more…
Additionally, when you book in a fuel uplift with us we will provide a complimentary fuel sampling
We understand the importance of maintaining a clean fuel supply, without causing any disruption to your ongoing works at your site.
As more and more fuels are introduced with biodegradable elements, the risk of microbial contamination and repolymerisation is significantly higher.
How Does a Fuel Uplift Work?
- To begin the process Network Environmental will conduct a full on-site survey and technical evaluation. This will allow us to assess the condition and its potential value, and help determine the best method of removal.
- Once the ideal removal method has been identified, we’ll draw up a step-by-step plan and complete all necessary risk assessments for conducting the removal in a safe and eco-friendly way.
- Next, we’ll complete your fuel uplift, according to our plan and with minimised risks of spillage or injury. Once we’ve removed the fuel, we can transfer it wherever is required, arrange a removal, or even set up a purchase.
- Finally, we’ll conduct a deep clean on the original tank to get rid of any contaminants, water, or residue within, leaving your tank fully ready to be used once more! If your tank is damaged beyond repair, we can decommission it.
Fuel Tank Cleaning
Once we’ve completed these services, we can then deliver a clean supply of fuel straight back into your tank ready for use. This whole service is carried out in-house by our team of fuel experts, streamlining the process and keeping costs low.
