Commissioning & De-commissioning of Large Ammonia Tanks

Specialist commissioning and de-commissioning services including controlled cool-down, nitrogen purging, safe ammonia recovery, cleaning and preparation for inspection or dismantling.

Commissioning sequencing is planned to control thermal gradients, avoid overstressing welds and ensure instrumentation is validated under operating conditions. Procedures detail purge rates, cool-down ramps, pressure equalization, leak checks and operational handover steps. During de-commissioning we emphasize safe evacuation, product recovery into ISO tanks, neutralization of residues and environmental discharge controls where applicable. Both commissioning and de-commissioning are accompanied by risk assessments, permit-to-work regimes and competent person oversight as required by PESO.

We document every step nitrogen purge logs, vent management records, final pressure tests and handover certificates to provide a clear audit trail for regulators and clients. Where tanks are relocated, we provide mechanical stabilization and transport engineering to preserve structural integrity.
