Tank Cleaning & Desludging

Applications:

Storage tanks, oil tanks, digesters, clarifiers

Safe, Continuous Removal of Heavy Sludges

Solidsvac systems provide a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional vacuum trucks for tank cleaning and desludging. These air-operated pumps are designed to handle high-viscosity sludges, abrasive sediments and materials with high solids content—without clogging or requiring internal moving parts. The continuous vacuum operation reduces downtime by eliminating the stop-start cycles common with conventional systems.

Key Benefits

Recommended Models

SV70, SV150-CVCD, Vac-Pack Series

Ideal For:

 Oil & gas tanks, wastewater digesters, food processing tanks, chemical clarifiers and more

Mining & Tailings Management

Applications:

 Tailings dams, process ponds, slurry removal and dewatering pits

Tough Pumps for Harsh Mining Conditions

Solidsvac pumps are built to perform in the extreme environments common in mining operations. Whether you’re dealing with abrasive slurries, thick tailings or settled sediments, these systems deliver high flow and high solids-handling capabilities without internal moving parts—minimizing field maintenance.

With continuous-duty operation and no reliance on electrical power, Solidsvac pumps are ideal for remote, hard-to-access mine sites. Their ability to move dense material without water dilution makes them especially effective in maintaining environmental compliance and reducing cleanup time.

Key Benefits

Recommended Models

 SV70, SV280-SPDK, SV400-SP, SV800

Ideal For:

Mining tailings dams, beneficiation plant sumps, iron ore fines, gold tailings, coal slurry ponds, copper/manganese/nickel extraction sites

Oil & Gas / Refinery / FPSO Operations

Applications:

 Storage tanks, offshore rigs (FPSOs), refinery sumps, pipeline cleaning, pit and bilge sludge recovery

Safe, Mobile Pumping for Hazardous Environments

When you’re operating in explosive or remote environments, safety and reliability aren’t optional—they’re mandatory. Solidsvac vacuum pumps are designed to handle the toughest oil and gas applications with no internal moving parts, no electrics and fully air-operated systems that reduce ignition risk and maintenance downtime.

Whether cleaning sludge from a refinery tank, transferring oily slops offshore or clearing pipelines, Solidsvac’s portable and intrinsically safe systems can be deployed where traditional vac trucks can’t go. Their ability to maintain high solids throughput without water dilution is a major advantage for operators needing fast, compliant cleanup in regulated zones

Ideal For:

Refineries, petrochemical plants, FPSOs, drilling rigs, oil tank farms, pipeline facilities, wellheads, terminal operations

Drilling / Cuttings Handling

Applications:

Drill site cleanup, rig floor washdown, cuttings transfer, mud pit maintenance, offshore and onshore operations

Efficient Handling of High-Solids Drill Waste

Solidsvac pumps are engineered for the demanding requirements of drilling operations. Whether it’s removing spent drill cuttings, cleaning rig decks or transferring drilling mud, these compressed air-powered units deliver high performance in extreme environments.

With no moving parts in contact with the material, Solidsvac units can safely handle abrasive, high-solids-content material, including drill slurries and cuttings. The ability to operate without electricity and to generate strong vacuum lift and discharge pressure makes these systems ideal for both land-based and offshore rigs—especially where environmental compliance and worker safety are top priorities.

Key Benefits

Recommended Models

 SV70-V, SV280-SPDK, SV400-SP, SV800

Ideal For:

 Oil and gas operators, drilling contractors, offshore platform crews, waste management teams

Municipal / Wastewater Treatment

Applications:

Sludge pit cleaning, grit chamber evacuation, clarifier desludging, digester maintenance, stormwater system recovery.

Designed for Tough Sludge, Grit and Wastewater Challenges

Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants often face the challenge of removing dense, abrasive and high-solids materials from hard-to-access areas. Solidsvac pumps are ideal for cleaning clarifiers, digesters, lift stations and stormwater pits—especially in facilities where safety, uptime and environmental compliance are critical.

Unlike traditional vac trucks or submersible pumps, Solidsvac systems can operate continuously and pneumatically, with no electrical hazard, making them ideal for confined spaces or classified areas. These systems handle thick sludge and settleable grit with ease, reducing the need for costly vacuum truck services or shutdowns.

Key Benefits

Recommended Models

SV280-SPDK, SV400-SP, SV800

Ideal For:

Public works departments, wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater utility teams and industrial pretreatment systems

Industrial & Chemical Plants

Applications:

Acidic slurry removal, tank cleaning, scale and sediment recovery, sump evacuation, chemical spill cleanup and general facility maintenance

Safe, Continuous Pumping for Aggressive and Critical Plant Operations

Industrial and chemical processing plants demand durable, reliable vacuum systems capable of handling abrasive, corrosive and high-solids materials. Solidsvac systems are engineered to manage scale buildup, sediment and aggressive slurries—whether during shutdowns, routine maintenance or emergency response.

Where downtime is costly and safety is non-negotiable, Solidsvac pneumatic vacuum pumps offer a safer, more efficient solution. With no rotating parts exposed to the material and no electrical hazard, they’re ideal for confined spaces and ATEX or hazardous zones. Their high solids-handling capability, chemical resistance and rugged design make them an asset to any industrial maintenance program.

Key Benefits

Recommended Models

SV400-SP, SV70-V, SV800

Ideal For:

Chemical processing plants, food and beverage facilities, pulp and paper mills and general manufacturing facilities

Maritime & Port Operations

Solidsvac vacuum systems provide an efficient, rugged solution for the unique challenges of the maritime and port environments. Designed with stainless steel construction and air-powered operation, these systems are built to endure the corrosive effects of saline environments, heavy-duty use and tight, confined spaces.

Whether it’s removing accumulated bilge water, cleaning out ballast tanks, maintaining ship hulls or clearing sediment from dock areas, Solidsvac pumps deliver high performance with minimal downtime. Their ability to pump abrasive, high-solids materials without requiring electricity makes them ideal for offshore vessels, shipyards and port facilities where explosion risk, mobility and equipment reliability are critical.
