Depending on the type and size of the tank as well as the nature of the residues to be removed, BUCHEN uses different automated, closed-tank cleaning processes that largely avoid the stress factors involved in manual cleaning.
These highly effective tank cleaning systems are based on a modular design and are installed in sea containers for safe and flexible transport. Since all BUCHEN automated tank cleaning methods are in closed systems, hydrocarbon emissions are greatly reduced in contrast to conventional manual tank cleaning. Short cleaning times and a high level of safety for personnel, who do not need to enter the tank (non-man entry system), are additional benefits of the automated cleaning systems. The high crude oil recovery rates and the associated lower disposal costs along with shortened cleaning time represent significant economic advantages.
