Mechanical cleaning and oil sludge recovery engineering services for crude oil storage tanks

Mechanical cleaning and oil sludge recovery engineering services for crude oil storage tanks
Otron Technology, relying on its independently developed COW (Crude Oil Washing) crude oil cleaning equipment, targets petrochemical, storage and transportation, port, refining and chemical, and tank area operation units, and undertakes oil tank mechanical cleaning engineering services and oil sludge recovery engineering services externally.
During the long-term operation of crude oil storage tanks, the bottom of the tanks is prone to form oil sludge, sediment, and water-containing residues, which not only occupy the effective tank capacity but also may affect the safe operation of the tanks, maintenance and repair operations, and environmental management. The traditional manual tank cleaning method has high labor intensity, high safety risks, and complex on-site management. Otron Technology adopts a mechanized cleaning process, combining COW cleaning equipment with a professional construction team, to provide safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly tank cleaning solutions for crude oil storage tanks.

COW Crude Oil Tank Mechanical Cleaning Service
Otron Technology's COW cleaning equipment is suitable for tank internal cleaning operations. It can conduct flushing treatment on the tank walls, tank bottoms, and sediment areas through mechanized methods, reducing the frequency of personnel entering the tank for operations and lowering the risks of confined space operations. 
Service contents include:

• On-site investigation and condition assessment before tank cleaning;
• Plan formulation and construction organization design;
• Installation, commissioning, and operation of COW equipment;
• Mechanized flushing and removal of oil sludge, sediment, and water-containing residues inside the tank;
• Safety control and on-site management during the cleaning process;
• Inspection of the tank interior after cleaning and record-keeping of operations.

Through the COW mechanized cleaning method, it can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency of crude oil storage tanks, reduce the safety risks brought by manual tank cleaning, help customers shorten the downtime for tank maintenance, and ensure the smooth progress of subsequent inspection and maintenance, measurement, and commissioning of the tanks.
Oil Sludge Recovery Engineering Service
For the oil sludge, tank bottom residues, and oil-water mixtures generated during crude oil tank cleaning, Otron Technology provides supporting oil sludge recovery engineering services.
The oil sludge recovery service focuses on solving the problems of "how to collect, transport, reduce, and dispose of the sludge during the cleaning process". Through mechanized collection, sealed transportation, oil-water separation, and reduction processing, it reduces the risk of secondary pollution on-site and improves the efficiency of sludge disposal, creating conditions for subsequent environmental disposal or resource utilization.
Service contents include:

• Mechanized collection of tank bottom sludge;
• Sealed transportation of oil sludge;
• Oil-water separation and reduction processing;
• Temporary storage and coordination for external transportation of sludge;
• Safety management on-site during the cleaning and recovery process;
• Archiving of engineering materials and operation records.
