As experts in waste acid disposal, Amb Environmental Services can safely remove wastes from industrial and commercial companies which use acids and other chemicals in their manufacturing processes. This is done with the use of our 27,000 ltr Jet / Vacuum combination ADR Tanker.
FEATURES OF THIS TANKER ARE:
27,000 litre Capacity- 316 stainless Steel
- Jurop 250 water cooled 1000 cfm Vacuum pump
- Perkins silent engine
- Speck 3500 psi high pressure jetting pump

This tanker can safely carry hazardous liquids and sludge’s, which could include waste acids, alkalis and flammable liquids. Also for drummed and wastes in IBC’s we can remove your waste by curtain sider.
GALVANIZING CAN PRODUCE WASTE ACIDS
THE GALVANIZING PROCESS
- Pre-treatment
- Galvanizing
The pre-treatment of work to be galvanised has four separate stages.
- Inspection – The work to be pre-treated, checking for greases and paint which would not be removed in the pre-treatment process. These would need to be removed by Shot blast or jet washing.
- Degreasing – The work is dipped in to a bath of caustic degreasing solution for a period of time to remove any light oils etc.
- Pickling – The work will now be dipped into a bath of acid (mainly sulphuric or hydrochloric acid) to take the work back to clean base steel.
- Fluxing – The clean steel is now dipped into a bath of flux solution to assist the galvanizing process.
THE 2ND STAGE
The pre-treated work is now dipped into a bath of molten zinc at a temperature of about 450 degrees celsius, until the work is the same temperature of the zinc.
The work is then taken out and allowed to cool.
WASTES FROM GALVANIZING PROCESSES COULD INCLUDE:
- Caustic Solutions
- Sulphuric Acid
- Hydrochloric Acid
- Flux Solutions
- Solid wastes of Zinc
Also from time to time these baths will require a descale. We can provide this service using our 3500 psi jetting equipment.
