Automatic Tank Cleaning
At Ambipar, we provide safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible solutions for industrial tank cleaning. The Blabo Automatic Tank Cleaning system is a proven technology designed to clean oil, fuel, and chemical storage tanks without the need for personnel to enter confined spaces.
Key Advantages
- Safety first – Eliminates the need for manned entry, reducing exposure to hazardous environments.
- Efficiency – Significantly reduces downtime compared to traditional tank cleaning methods.
- Environmental benefits – Maximises oil recovery and minimises waste, reducing the environmental footprint of operations.
- Cost-effective – Faster turnaround and reduced waste disposal costs deliver measurable savings.
How It Works
The Blabo system uses a closed-loop, automated cleaning process. Residual product and sludge are circulated, separated, and treated, allowing valuable hydrocarbons to be recovered and the tank to be returned to service quickly. This method not only protects workers but also ensures compliance with the strictest environmental and safety standards.
Automatic Tank Cleaning (ATC) with the Blabo system delivers a smarter, safer and more cost-effective way to clean large storage tanks. By removing the need for manual entry during the main cleaning phase, the Blabo system significantly reduces health and safety risk while improving speed, efficiency and overall project control.
Using advanced automated cleaning technology, sludge and residues are broken down and continuously recovered through a closed-loop process. This reduces waste volumes, lowers disposal costs and minimises water usage, helping operators achieve both operational and environmental targets. The result is a cleaner tank, faster turnaround and measurable savings when compared with traditional cleaning methods.
The Blabo system is ideally suited to crude oil, fuel and chemical storage tanks where downtime must be kept to a minimum and compliance is critical. Tanks can often remain in service during cleaning, allowing essential maintenance to be completed with minimal disruption to operations.
Proven on major European tank cleaning projects, Automatic Tank Cleaning with Blabo consistently delivers reduced project durations, improved safety performance and a lower environmental footprint. A detailed case study is available to demonstrate the real-world benefits and commercial value of this approach
