Tank systems in agriculture
Diesel/AdBlue
Refueling systems in agriculture are a particular challenge, as long journeys to distant filling stations mean unnecessary effort for farmers. With an in-house refueling facility, they can save this expense. We will be happy to advise you on implementation.
Benefit from the advantages of a refueling system:
- Fuel is available from the farm
- No empty runs
- Cost-optimized purchasing
If you want to run your farm equipment on HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) biofuel, this is possible. You can switch completely to HVO and reduce your Co2 emissions by around 90 %. Or you can opt for a partial conversion. You can find more information on HVO here.

The manual or electric pump and the steel pipe line between the small tank and the pump must be permanently installed.

In order to prevent fuel from flowing out of the small tank automatically (in the event of a hose defect or a defect in the refueling nozzle), a siphon valve must be installed at the highest point in the withdrawal line.

A refueling nozzle with shut-off device must be used. (with a suitable holding device inside the transshipment point)
Transhipment center

The transfer point (hose length in radius plus 1 m) must be designed in such a way that any drips or leaking diesel oil cannot enter the sewage system or a body of water or seep into the ground.

Tank cleaning and inspection
Farmers are entrepreneurs and their most valuable asset is the soil. With a properly cleaned system that complies with regulations, farmers primarily benefit themselves:
- No sludge or any water or condensation, which protects the motor and filters
- A tank system that complies with regulations is a plus point for the farm inspection.
- Insurance cover is guaranteed
These aspects give farmers the certainty that they have taken the best possible precautions for handling diesel oil and, if necessary, AdBlue.
We offer you added value:
- Checking the tank and the entire system
- Removing sludge or water
Note: The transhipment site is the responsibility of the farmer.

Industrial plants
Cleaning industrial tank systems requires a lot of preparation. We use safety data sheets to define the appropriate safety precautions that need to be taken. In collaboration with the customer, we take the necessary safety measures before, during and after the tank overhaul.
Your needs are diverse – whether tank revision, renovation or conversion of tanks – we are happy to assist you with a well-founded clarification.
- Clarification of needs
- Evaluation of possible variants
- Compliance with the relevant safety regulations
- Planning and preparation of an offer
- Process organization and coordination
- Coordinated execution, if necessary in consultation with other companies or subcontractors
