Recovery of Oil

The hydrocarbons trapped in the oil sludge in the tank can be recovered in more than 95%.. On one side, this minimizes the cost for waste transportation and final disposal, and on the other hand there is an important recovery of hydrocarbons which can be comparable to crude oil.

Enhanced Work Safety

As the technology does not require personnel to enter the tank prior to or during the cleaning process, it guarantees the highest level of personnel and equipment safety during a tank cleaning operation.

Reduced cleaning time

This extremely effective system can shorten the time needed for the cleaning operation up to 80%. A typical cleaning time for a 50 m diameter tank with 1.000 m3 residues is between 3 to 4 weeks.

Economic

Around 95% of the sludge is recovered as crude oil for refining process.
Saving of transport and disposal of waste material..

Reduced cleaning time saves time in a business, where time or storage capacity is money.

Minimizing the usage of water in the cleaning to around 1/10 compared to traditional system means cost saving in waste disposal.

Environmental friendly

No cleaning chemicals needed.

Closed system means reduced hydrocarbon emissions, which is also an important economic value especially in countries with high restrictions to atmospheric contamination.

Reduces the usage of water up to 90% or even more compared to traditional cleaning. Thus reduces dramatically the amount of waste caused by the cleaning process.
