- Draining the Old Oil Tank: When our team arrives on-site, the first task is to drain any remaining oil from the old, leaking, or cracked tank. This step is essential to prevent spills and further environmental damage.
- Removing the Old Oil Tank: Once the tank is drained, our experts proceed with the removal of the old oil tank from its base. We exercise caution and employ appropriate equipment to ensure a safe and efficient removal process.
- Fixing and Straightening the Old Base: Before installing the new oil tank, attention is given to the old base. We thoroughly assess the base, repair any damages, and straighten it to ensure a stable foundation for the new tank.
- Lifting and Installing the New Oil Tank: With the old tank removed and the base prepared, it's time to lift and install the new oil tank. Our skilled technicians carefully position the tank into place, ensuring proper alignment and secure placement.
- Replumbing the Tank and Refilling with Oil: Once the new tank is in place, our team proceeds to replumb the tank to the boiler system. This involves connecting the necessary pipes and fittings to establish a seamless flow of oil. After replumbing, the tank is ready for refilling with fresh oil.
- Bleeding the System and Boiler Restoration: To ensure optimal performance, we bleed the system to remove any air pockets or impurities that may have entered during the tank replacement process. Once the system is free of air, we restore the boiler, ensuring it is functioning efficiently and safely.
- Environmentally Friendly Disposal of the Old Oil Tank: As responsible professionals, we understand the importance of eco-friendly practices. Hence, we take great care in disposing of the old oil tank in an environmentally friendly manner. Proper disposal methods are followed to minimize any potential harm to the environment.
