Mobilisation at Libyan tank
The BLABO® system is mobilised at a tank farm in the Libyan desert. The mobility of the modules allows the tank cleaning contractor to place the units in line if the mobilisation area is restricted to a road. |

Close up of the distribution head
The distribution head is placed on top of the roof. It distributes the cleaning media to the nozzles. More heads may be needed depending on the number of cleaning nozzles. |

Mobile tank claning system
The BLABO® system is built into standard 20' containers and therefore easily adopted to any transportation method, i.e. truck, ship, rail. |

Re-circulation module
This view inside the re-circulation module shows the three hydrocyclones which performs the pre-separation. The main components in the Re-circulation module is a heat exchanger, hydrocyclones and booster pump. |

Hairpin pipe
The special hairpin pipe is designed to transfer cleaning fluid over the tank wall, down to the floating roof. The pipe connects the Re-circulation module to the tank cleaning nozzles. |

Skimming module seen from the inlet section
The coaslescing plates stacked inside the Skimming module seen from the "inlet" section. In this section the solids is accumulated on the bottom by gravity. The remaining oil/water mixture enter the coalescing plates for oil/water separation. |

Skimming module
The Skimming module seen from the front. From this platform you are able to monitor and control the separation process. An inspection hatch allows for the operator to observe the skimming process. |

Coalescing plates
A close-up of a stack of coalescing plates. The holes in the plates will force hydrodynamic coalescence. The merging of very small oil droplets into larger ones will create extremely enhanced coalescence. Before the oil droplets are seperated they are captured by the next higher plate. |
