Cleaning settling tanks: targeted interventions for consistently efficient systems.

Settling tanks are fundamental elements in the treatment of wastewater, whether industrial or rainwater. However, precisely because of their function, they are also among the most complex structures to maintain over time. Franchini Servizi Ecologici offers a highly specialized service for the deep cleaning of these tanks, overcoming the limitations of traditional dredges and robots.

Deep sediment? No problem.

In settling tanks, sediments accumulate rapidly and in layers. Unlike more accessible tanks, here you can find layers of sludge several meters deep, impossible to remove with simple automated systems.

For this reason, Franchini uses manual underwater techniques, custom-built equipment, and qualified personnel capable of working even in confined spaces, underground, or in critical environments. The intervention is planned and managed to ensure maximum yield and minimal operational impact.

When dredges aren't enough, you need tailor-made solutions

Traditional dredges only operate in regular and accessible environments. But many settling tanks, especially in industrial settings, are buried, with complex geometries or limited access. Franchini approaches these cases with a flexible approach: manual techniques where machinery cannot reach, advanced technologies where speed and precision are needed.

The same expertise is also applied to the cleaning of drinking water intakes, where uneven seabeds and hygiene requirements require maximum accuracy.

A complete service, from remediation to maintenance

In addition to operational interventions, Franchini also supports customers in the assessment and monitoring phase, offering complete and integrated solutions. In many cases, for example, intervention on the settling tank is performed in combination with the cleaning of fire-fighting tanks by divers, especially in complex civil or industrial plants.

With over forty years of experience, Franchini Servizi Ecologici represents a reliable reference for companies and public facilities that want to ensure the proper functioning of their water collection and treatment systems.
