way to perform crude oil, heavy fuel oil and other black oils tank
cleanings.

Especially designed to clean large volume, difficult-to-clean oil tanks, the

C.O.W. system can be tailored to meet the individual needs of different
Client – whether they need an efficient tank cleaning, sludge separation
and oil recovery in one integrated process. It is suitable for both floating
and fixed roof tanks and it is highly flexible thanks to its modular and mobile
container system.

Compared to manual cleaning techniques, the C.O.W. system cleans tanks

much more safely and quickly. A distinctive feature of the system is its
closed loop cleaning system, which heavily reduces the impact of tank
cleaning on the environment and provides near 98% hydrocarbon recovery.
The C.O.W. system has several advantages, like following:
■ Reduced cleaning time: up to 80% reduced cleaning time and
shorter down-time
■ Minimal environmental impact: It ensures up to 98% hydrocarbons
recovery from sludge, with a consequent reduction in the waste
amount to dispose in landfills, Minimal hydrocarbon emission to
atmosphere due to closed-loop cleaning, lower consumption of
water and electricity
■ Safe cleaning process: No staff inside tank during cleaning process
(non-man entry system), continuous monitoring of Gas and
automatic shutdown features, no risk of explosion

■ Compliant to ATEX regulations

■ Ensures an unique and optimal cleaning results inside the tank,
thanks to the rotating nozzles
■ Many economic advantages, thanks to shorter cleaning times, lower
quantities of waste amount to be disposed in landfills, less workers
needed during the process and higher quantity of hydrocarbon
recovery (creating a profit from the recovered oil that can be reused
by the Client)
