Top Tank Cleaning Requirements for Colorado Industrial Facilities in 2025

January 1, 2026

As Colorado continues to expand its manufacturing, energy, and industrial sectors, environmental and safety regulations around tank cleaning are growing stricter. Whether you operate chemical tanks, wastewater tanks, fuel storage tanks, or production vessels, routine professional tank cleaning is essential for compliance and long-term equipment performance. 

Why Tank Cleaning Matters in Colorado

Colorado’s regulators enforce strict standards through the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) and the EPA. Tanks that hold chemicals, fuels, wastewater, or process materials must be cleaned regularly to:

  • prevent corrosion
  • maintain proper product quality
  • reduce fire and exposure risks
  • prepare for inspection or repairs
  • comply with environmental discharge regulations


Failing to clean tanks properly can lead to costly shutdowns and fines. 

Industries That Require Tank Cleaning in Colorado

  • Manufacturing
  • Energy & power generation
  • Oil & gas support operations
  • Mining
  • Food & beverage processing
  • Municipal facilities
  • Wastewater and water treatment


Each of these industries relies on clean tanks to keep operations running safely and efficiently

Confined Space Entry & Safety Requirements

Tank cleaning is one of the highest-risk industrial tasks due to confined spaces. Colorado facilities must follow:

  • OSHA confined space entry guidelines
  • Air-quality testing
  • Rescue planning
  • PPE and hazard precautions
  • Lockout/tagout for mixers or pumps 



Professional tank cleaning eliminates risk and ensures tanks are fully compliant for inspection
