The company’s extensive range of products also includes high-end HFO storage tanks.

It is of course possible to order a heavy fuel oil tank complete with accessories to a specification submitted by the customer.
AD 2000 compliant HFO storage tanks
The quality of our solutions is not only due to the use of state-of-the-art technology, such as Heinrichglück’s automatic assembly line or equipment that makes it possible to clean surfaces to the Sa 2.5 surface preparation standard according to ISO 8501-1. Proper quality is also ensured through meticulous testing by independent notified bodies. Each heavy fuel oil tank also meets the stringent requirements of the AD 2000 standard, thus guaranteeing the highest level of safety when operating pressurised equipment.
Our experts will be pleased to provide you with more information on the available HFO storage tanks. Feel free to contact us by phone, email or via the form on our website. CHG South Africa’s specialists will also help select the most suitable heavy fuel oil tank for the intended industrial application.
What is HFO? What challenges do HFO suppliers in South Africa face?
Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a type of fossil fuel, used predominantly to power marine vessels – it accounts for most of the marine fuel used worldwide. Storing, transporting and disposing of it presents its own set of challenges and restrictions, especially so in regions with unique climate and landscape – such as South Africa. Durability, reliability and simplicity are key to smooth business operation and at CGH we know exactly how to assure it. We combine abundant experience on the African market with highest European standards and best quality materials to provide you with the safest solutions.
Is HFO dangerous? What can happen when HFO is mishandled?
Yes, heavy fuel oil can become extremely toxic when not stored properly. It’s essential to prevent HFO from any spillages – they can be catastrophic and almost impossible to contain. Once HFO comes to contact with water or sunshine, it slowly breaks down in the environment and turns into a natural disaster. Because HFO transport, storage, and disposal are particularly challenging and hazardous, only certified experts should perform these tasks – CGH specialises in HFO storage tanks and systems and will gladly take that responsibility off your shoulders.
What makes our HFO tanks special at CGH South Africa?
HFO storage tanks need to meet extremely restrictive requirements, which not every manufacturer is able to meet, while CGH South Africa has enormous production and design capacity to make it happen. We use Heinrichglück’s automatic assembly line and other dedicated and specialised equipment, which achieves perfect precision, perfectly safe. We can manufacture and supply our clients with tailor-made solutions for even extremely hazardous substances, in full compliance with international standards, even in the most remote regions of South Africa.
