STS uses BLABO ® System technology. This is an automated, mobile and modular system which enables cleaning the tanks in a closed circuit thus minimising entering inside with a high percentage of hydrocarbon recovery and is applicable both to tanks with a floating or fixed roof which contain crude oil, slops, fuel, etc. These characteristics offer advantages for safety and the environment, reduce execution deadlines and the costs for the customer compared to traditional manual cleaning procedures.
STS has undertaken the Chemical Cleaning activity since 2004, with a wide range of real and effective applications which have been tried and tested by the experience gathered over the years in different refineries in Spain, Portugal, the UK and the rest of Spain. For years our services have been applied to a crude oil preheating exchange unit, crude oil distillation columns, vacuum column and pump-arounds, vacuum exchange unit, desalters, Visbreaker fractionator and soaker, Visbreaker exchange unit etc.
BLABO ® System uses available state-of-the-art technology to considerably reduce execution times, guarantee safety in the cleaning process and achieve a high percentage of hydrocarbon recovery. This significantly reduces costs compared to other processes.
The automation of the cleaning process with BLABO ® System means that the physical presence of technicians inside the tanks is no longer required, thus increasing safety and reducing the possibility of accidents to a minimum.
From STS Tank Cleaning we opt for environmental sustainability. The high percentage of hydrocarbon recovery, of almost 100%, makes our cleaning system effective, efficient and environmentally friendly all at the same time.
