Storage tanks play a crucial role in the industrial area as they are used to store any type of substances, including those that are dangerous, flammable or toxic. These are designed so they can be adapted to a wide range of environments and needs in different industrial facilities, regulated in Chile by the "Storage of Hazardous Substances Regulations" of the DS43 of 2016.

It is important to note that the containers have a specific useful life and preventive cleaning and maintenance must be carried out in their life cycle due to the use or the replacement of substances, as also, the replacement of these containers.

Given this need, Hidronor provides comprehensive and efficient solutions associated with the requirements of each company regarding the cleaning or dismantling of containers, in addition to the treatment and final disposal of the hazardous waste generated, complying with the environmental regulations stipulated in DS148. For this, it has a highly qualified team with experience in hazardous waste management to carry out the washing, inerting system and final disposal of contaminated containers, sludge and liquids generated in the cleaning process. 

To carry out this service safely, once the service has been hired, the company performs an on-site inspection in order to recognize the work area, identifying possible risks and determining the operational procedure whereupon the necessary personal protection equipment and elements (PPE) are detailed step-by-step in the intervention.
