Oil Basin and Bund Area Cleaning

At X-treme Cleaning Solutions, heavy industrial cleaning services are our daily bread. We offer a professional Oil Basin Cleaning and Bund Area Cleaning service. An oil basin at a power plant is a container or reservoir used to store oil, typically used as a lubricant or coolant in equipment such as turbines, generators, or transformers. In a power plant, these machines tend to generate a lot of heat and friction, which can cause damage if left unchecked. The oil basin provides a way to dissipate the heat and reduce this friction.

The Oil Basin is typically located near the equipment it serves. Regular maintenance of these is crucial to ensure functionality and reliability of the power plant and equipment. In the event of a minor or major spill. either through maintenance or breakdowns, the effluent water, coolant or oil is contained in a Bund Area.

A bund area is an area designed to contain spills and leaks of hazardous materials, including oil. This is essentially a secondary containment system that surrounds the primary storage or handling area. A bund area is typically line with impermeable materials such as concrete. A bund area is designed to be the last barrier and provide and additional layer of protection against contamination to the environment – in the case of a spill or a leak.

With our experience in heavy industrial cleaning solutions, our teams are familiar with the routine and regulations of Bund Area and Oil Basin Cleaning.

This includes cleaning the transformer basin accordingly and the removal of sand and flaking mud. Thereafter the basin is high pressure cleaned with an environmentally friendly degreaser. We extract the the effluent water and dispose of this as solid waste after it has been congealed and dried. Using oil absorbent, water repellant scatter, which removes all hydrocarbons from the water. Thereafter cleaning up our service area before handing over.
