Who we are

About PMI Energy Services

PMI is the premier tank cleaning company. We clean the tanks, vessels, and equipment that nobody wants to climb into, and we build the machines that mean nobody has to. The work started in the Gulf. Today the same automation and on-site water reclamation goes to work at tank terminals, chemical plants, refineries, and many more onshore facilities across North America.

Our story

Built for the Gulf of America, engineered for what came next

The work started where the equipment is hardest to clean and the consequences of getting it wrong are highest: offshore supply vessels, production platforms, offshore drilling rigs, and drilling equipment moving through Fourchon and the wider Gulf. Fifteen thousand vessels and barges, 5,700 platforms and 346 rigs and drillships later, the method is the same: plan the job, work the plan, remove potential hazards, document everything.

Automation came out of that. The RoosterEX automated cleaning units clean tanks up to 120 ft in diameter with nobody in the tank while they clean, and the MudHog systems handle smaller tanks, vessels, pits and mud systems. More than 1,750 OSVs have been cleaned by automation to date.

A walk through the Fourchon cleaning station: the wash bays, the water reclamation loop and where every stream goes.

Automation sometimes requires vast volumes of water. That is why PMI runs mobile EC-AOP units, which clean dirty wash water on the job site and return it to the washing process, so a cleaning job stops generating a high-volume waste stream that has to be stored, trucked, disposed of and manifested, all adding costs to the total cleaning charge. No competitor on the Gulf Coast offers these savings inside their cleaning scope.

Today that same capability is going to work onshore: at above ground storage tank terminals, refineries and chemical plants across the Gulf Coast and other strategic storage terminal areas across America.

How we work

Mission & values

Clean the equipment the industry depends on, without putting people in harm's way and without leaving a mess behind. Everything below follows from that.

  • People out of the hazard

    If a job can be done without a confined-space entry, that's how it gets done. Automation is a safety decision before it's a productivity one.

  • Nothing improvised in the field

    Written plans, defined sequences and records built as the work happens: the same discipline on a routine clean-out as on a turnaround.

  • Leave the site cleaner than the scope

    Water treated and reused, waste characterized honestly, and no long-tail liability handed back to the client with the keys.

  • Build it if it doesn't exist

    RoosterEX and the MudHog line exist because the equipment we needed was not on the market. That habit has not changed.
