 Tanknology Inc. has announced this week that a new licensee in South Africa has joined its international network.
Tanknology SA (Pty) Ltd, is a new company, formed by Maintenance Technologies Solutions (Pty) Ltd (MTS), specifically to provide underground storage tank (UST) and line testing services, utilizing Tanknology’s proprietary systems. MTS, based in Cape Town, is a leading South African fuel services company, which provides tank inspections, tank cleaning, and fuel filtration services, in addition to a Total Fuel Management System, which coordinates stock control, management information, leak detection and remote site monitoring.
With the creation of Tanknology SA, MTS will be adding Tanknology’s patented UST tank and line testing technologies to its fuel services offerings, specifically, the VacuTect™ tank tightness testing and TLD1 line testing systems. “MTS is an exceptional fit for Tanknology’s international licensee program,” said Ignacio Allende, Tanknology’s Director of International Operations. “They provide in South Africa many of the same services Tanknology provides in the US. Their current involvement in tank inspections, tank cleaning and fuel filtration, position them perfectly in the market for the addition of tank and line testing using Tanknology’s
industry‐leading systems. Their existing strength in the market, combined with an increasing focus on UST environmental compliance in the region, position Tanknology SA and MTS very well for success.”
The Tanknology VacuTect tightness testing system that MTS will employ utilizes a vacuum‐based approach. It is the world’s leading tank testing technology. Developed and patented by Tanknology, the VacuTect system has been used on more than 1 million UST tests around the world.
With locations in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Natal, MTS services large clients across a broad spectrum of industry, including major oil, transport, mining and marine companies. Directors Adrian Fourie, Anton Steenkamp and Leonard Kitching, lead the company’s efforts in this market sector. Their team is currently completing training and certification on the Tanknology systems and will be fully operational within weeks.
As reported by PetrolWorld, the announcement follows the recent appointment of UETL in Jeddah , Sauda Arabia and the appointment of Tanknology Philippines as licensee's.
