Case studies

Using the BLABO automated tank cleaning system, Tüpraş Refinery reduced more than 13,000 m³ of paraffin-rich sludge to just 8-10 m³ of residue, achieving over 99.9% sludge removal.
By combining classroom training with hands-on field experience, Oreco helped Ambipar Response Ireland develop the skills needed to operate the BLABO system independently. The training project delivered excellent cleaning results, recovering approximately 1,300 m³ of oil and sludge while leaving less than 10 m³ of residue.
Despite harsh winter conditions, Oreco helped IMTT’s Arnold’s Cove Terminal recover virtually all recoverable material from a tank containing 3,200 m³ of sludge. The project was completed safely and on schedule, leaving less than 10 m³ of residue and demonstrating the effectiveness of a recovery-focused tank cleaning strategy.
A difficult tank cleaning project at Italy’s Milazzo Refinery demonstrated the advantages of the BLABO process. By eliminating the need for early tank entry, recovering 690 m³ of oil, and reducing waste volumes by more than 1,500 m³, the project delivered safer operations and significantly faster completion times.
