CLEANDEG - Cylinder Cleaning and Degreasing Service

Professional Cylinder Cleaning and Degreasing

At Josef Gas, we understand that the quality of the gas we supply is only as good as the cylinder it is stored in. Our Cleaning of Degreased Cylinders service (SKU: CLEANDEG) is a critical maintenance process designed to ensure the absolute safety and purity of your industrial and medical gas cylinders. Over time, cylinders can accumulate residues, particulate matter, or inadvertent contamination from back-flow or improper handling. This service provides a comprehensive solution to restore your cylinders to a baseline of cleanliness required for safe operation.

This service is particularly vital for cylinders intended for Oxygen Service. Oxygen supports combustion vigorously, and the presence of even trace amounts of hydrocarbons (oils, greases) inside an oxygen cylinder can lead to catastrophic ignition or explosion under high pressure. Our cleaning process strictly adheres to industry standards (such as CGA G-4.1) to effectively remove all combustible residues. We utilize specialized cleaning agents and mechanical methods to strip away contaminants without damaging the cylinder walls or valve threads.

Beyond safety, this service ensures Gas Purity. For applications requiring high-purity gases—such as laboratory instrumentation, laser cutting, or medical use—residual contaminants can compromise the gas mixture, leading to inaccurate results or equipment damage. By choosing our professional cleaning and degreasing service, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment and the reliability of your gas supply. The process includes a thorough internal and external wash, followed by a rigorous inspection to verify that all contaminants have been successfully removed before the cylinder is returned to service or refilled.

Whether you own your cylinders or are managing a fleet of exchange tanks, regular maintenance including cleaning and degreasing is a best practice that mitigates risk. Trust the experts at Josef Gas to handle your cylinder maintenance with the precision and care required for high-pressure gas vessels.
