If you manage industrial facilities in Catalonia, you know that decommissioned tanks can be a source of often underestimated risks. At Femevi, based in Vilamalla and operating throughout Catalonia, we have been helping companies transform these challenges into safe and sustainable industrial waste management processes for years.
Our goal: to protect your team, optimize waste management, and ensure that each intervention is efficient, measurable, and without surprises.
Why decommissioned industrial tanks can be dangerous
Even though a closed tank may seem inert, it can still contain flammable or toxic gases that remain long after its last use. Handling it without a safe protocol can cause:
- Unexpected fires or explosions.
- Exposure of personnel to harmful substances.
- Spills that contaminate the environment and generate penalties.
- Prolonged shutdowns and additional costs in industrial operation.
These risks are frequent in industries where handling decommissioned tanks requires experience and regulatory compliance.
How to act safely and sustainably: 5 key steps at Femevi
At Femevi, we apply a proven method that combines safety, efficiency, and industrial sustainability. Here are the steps that any company should consider:
- Controlled degassing of industrial tanks: We eliminate remaining flammable and toxic gases, an essential step to protect your team and prevent accidents.
- Safe cleaning and disabling of tanks: Once degassed, the tank is cleaned and, if necessary, disabled in a controlled manner, minimizing spills.
- Treatment of aqueous waste and hydrocarbon separators: We apply evaporation and centrifugation techniques for liquid waste, ensuring an environmentally friendly process that complies with industrial regulations.
- Logistical adaptability: From ship dismantling to industrial plants throughout Catalonia, our specialized teams can operate in any space, guaranteeing safety and efficiency.
- Measurable risk supervision and control: Each intervention is planned so that you can evaluate the real impact on safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Imagine your company needs to remove a decommissioned tank in an industrial plant in Girona or Barcelona. Without a safe process, the risk is high: exposed personnel, prolonged times, and waste that must be managed urgently.
Practical example: combined efficiency and safety
At Femevi, we first perform degassing, then cleaning and disabling, and finally the treatment of liquid waste by evaporation or industrial centrifugation.
The result: safe operation, optimized times, and waste treated sustainably.
Why investing in sustainable and safe processes makes a difference
It’s not just about complying with the law, it’s about:
- Minimizing accident risks and protecting your team.
- Managing waste responsibly and sustainably in Vilamalla, Girona, or Barcelona.
- Saving time and costs associated with unexpected incidents.
- Improving your company’s reputation as a benchmark in industrial sustainability and waste management.
At Femevi, our experience in ship dismantling, tank cleaning, and hazardous waste treatment allows us to adapt solutions to each client, guaranteeing reliable and measurable results.
