  1. Blabo® Automated Tank Cleaning The only one in Asia, our BLABO® system is an automated, mobile and modular, non-man entry oil tank cleaning system. Especially designed to clean large volume, difficult-to-clean oil tanks, the BLABO system can be tailored to meet your individual needs – whether you simply need efficient tank cleaning or if you require tank cleaning, sludge separation and oil recovery in one integrated process. BLABO is suitable for both floating and fixed roof tanks. ExxonMobil 2009 Article Electrical standards Designed for operation in hazardous areas. Constructed for zone 1, and some equipment even for zone 0. Equipment complies with local regulation. Europe: ATEX directive. Other standards (e.g. CSA/UL) can be complied with by request. Mechanical standards Design: Follows the regulations for pressurized piping. Piping: European standards: Machine Directive 89/392/EEC and Pressure Equipment Directive, PED, 97/23/EC. Other standards can be complied by request. Production: Follows The Construction Standard.

  2. Inside the tank and on the roof 1 Tank roof • Tank roof is zone 1 area. • All Oreco‘s tank roof equipment’ with a potential ignition source is category I approved according to ATEX. 1 · 2 · 3 • 2 Cold tapping tool - SafeTap • Designed in accordance with the European standard EN 1343-1. • Is certified as category 1/2 equipment. • Tested at approved by notified body. Tank roof 5 Inerting 4 BLABO Sump • 3 Distribution header • Approved for zone 1. • 4 Nozzles • Certified as category I equipment, according ATEX 94/97EC. Approved by notified body. • Operation of nozzles is covered by ATEX 1999/92/EC for work in potentially explosive atmospheres. Watch Nozzle Demo • 5 Tank blanketing • Inerting eliminates the risk of ignition. • Inerting is covered by ATEX 1999/92/EC. • Tank owners’ or service providers’ responsibility to ensure inert atmosphere.

  3. Blabo® Process Modules • 6 Piping • Has no potential ignition source and do therefore not fall within ATEX. • User must ensure piping is safely earthed. • BLABO’s Victaulic piping and couplings are clam-fitted to ensure 100% conductivity. • 7 Pressure piping • Constructed in accordance with EU directive 97/23/EC for pressurized equipment. • Non destructive test (EN 13480-4). • Unique tracking number and material certificates. • 8 Electronic cabinets • Re-circulation & Separation modules • Recirculation and Separation modules. • Designed and built according to EN 50016 (Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres - pressurized apparatus ‘p’). • Verified and tested according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC. • 9 Electronic cabinets • Suction & Skimming modules • Designed and built according to EN 50018 (Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres - flameproof enclosure ‘d’). • Verified and tested according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC. • 10 Gas detectors • Approved as at lease category II equipment. • Fulfil requirements in standards EN 50057 and EN 50058.

  4. Blabo® Process and system in general • 11 Temperature • Insulated pipes, valves and flange connections. • Surface temperature does not exceed 55˚C. • 12 All moving parts • Moving parts protected by covers. • Cannot be opened without tools. • Risk assessed according to EU directive 98/37/EC for machinery safety. • Monitoring and Auto-shut down • Continuous monitoring. • Built-in warning systems. • Monitoring of oxygen level. • Shut-down of process if oxygen level exceeds 8%. • Shut-down of process if LEL exceeds 20%. • 13 Electrical equipment • As minimum zone I approved. • Constructed in accordance with EN 50014 (requirements for electrical apparatus in explosive atmospheres). • 15 Closed loop • Tank cleaning media runs in a closed circuit. • Operators never get into contact with the media. • 16 Non-man entry • Risk of sparks due to high activity inside tank is eliminated.

  5. Other Personal Safety Measures • 17 Training • Thorough training by Oreco in operating the system. • Thorough training in safety procedures. • 18 Non-man entry • No personnel inside tank during cleaning process. • 19 Other personal safety and health issues • No staff is exposed to toxic or carcinogenic substances. • No respiratory problems or oxygen deficiency. • No injuries caused by inadequate lightning or structural tank failure. • Containers are equipped with gas detectors. • Insulated pipes, valves and flanges. • Etc.
