About Climbex
Climbex Sp. z o.o. is a Polish provider of specialised industrial cleaning with almost 30 years of market experience and is part of the Impel Group. Its service portfolio includes automated cleaning of crude oil storage tanks (10,000–50,000 m³) using the ATC method (Automated Tank Cleaning) without man entry, with hydrocarbon recovery from bottom sediments of up to 95 percent; degassing with mobile combustion units for the neutralisation of volatile organic compounds (VOC); dry ice blasting with CO2 at -78.5 °C; industrial cleaning; hygiene for the food industry; catalyst services as well as assembly and servicing of industrial infrastructure. For the water sector, Climbex offers tank cleaning with mobile vacuum loaders (suction depth of over 100 m), sludge dewatering with mobile filter presses and the replacement of filter media, among others for the water treatment plant in Kalisz. The portfolio is complemented by 3D laser scanning, equipment passporting (Paszportyzacja), infrastructure inventory and the digitalisation of technical documentation. Its customers come from the chemical, petrochemical/refinery, energy technology, food and meat processing, pharmaceutical, water/wastewater, pulp/paper as well as mining and heavy industries. Its areas of operation are Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Processes and Technologies
Automated Tank Cleaning
Automated non-man-entry cleaning of crude oil storage tanks (10–50 thousand m³) with recovery of hydrocarbons from bottom sediments.
Dry ice blasting (CO2)
Residue-free cleaning of machines and systems without disassembly at -78.5 °C, without secondary waste.
Degassing
Capture and combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOC) with mobile combustion units.
3D laser scanning
Contactless acquisition of point clouds of industrial systems for inventory, equipment passporting and digitalisation.
Mobile vacuum loaders
Extraction of sediments from depths of over 100 m, including in wastewater treatment and filter basins.
Mobile filter press
Dewatering of sediments to reduce the volume of waste to be disposed of.
Replacement of filter media
Replacement of filter media in waterworks and biogas desulphurisation plants, including nitrogen inerting.
