We helped Moscow oil refinery to become the most
eco-friendly refinery in Eastern Europe
In 2011, the Moscow Oil Refinery approved a modernization program. As part of the program, a decision was made to
remove sludge ponds and shift to a more efficient way of waste management.

Our company is the main contractor in the field of ecology. In


the period 2013-2014 we removed and treated 149,508 m³ of No open pits
oil sludge. We dismantled the sludge collectors, then cleaned
up more than 585,000 m³ of contaminated soil without
excavation and prepared the area for construction work. Emissions reduсed by 70 %
After the completion of the project, our bioremediation site
became part of the plant's operational process. We regularly
receive and neutralize oily waste from the refinery. This makes
the production process virtually waste-free. Eliminated sources of pollution of
The technology of soil flushing without excavation has proven groundwater and water bodies
its effectiveness and relevance. We are participating in the
project of step-by-step territory cleanup and have already
cleaned more than 2,700,000 m³ of soil without excavation.
Ecosystem restored

Tank steaming plan (floating roof)

Steam is supplied into the oil sludge


through specially designed steam nozzles

Steam nozzles can be installed:


via the space between the shell and the roof
via the roof manholes
via the roof legs openings

info@arkoiltech.com
Oil recovery plan

As a result of steam cleaning, the inner side of the shell, the


underside of the roof, and roof support legs are clean and oil-free;
the oil sludge is separated into three layers (recovered oil, water,
sediments)

1. Oil recovery is performed via a roof


manhole

2. Oil recovery is performed via a draw-


off line
if sludge level is higher then the level of the side
manhole

3. Oil recovery is performed via a side


manhole
if sludge level is lower then the level of the side
manhole

Main advantages of the technology

Profit Safety
Return 95-97% of oil organic part No chemicals, additional crude oil or oil products used
Profit from oil recovery often significantly exceeds the No personnel exposure inside the tank until the total
expenses for the services degassing of the tank
The recovered product is substantially free of mechanical No emissions to the atmosphere
impurities Maintenance of the tank's integrity
Minimal disposal of sediments

Flexibility Time
No weather or seasonal restrictions Cleaning & oil recovery are performed
Applicable to any size and roof type of the tank simultaneously
Can be used for damaged tanks Minimal downtime against conventional method
Can be tailored to the customers’ special needs
and requirements
