A system and method for cleaning oil tanks comprising: a bio-reactor (110) for producing bacterial cultures containing bio-emulsifiers from bacteria, air, water and sources of utilizable carbon, nitrogen and phosphate; a first pump (119) for pumping the bacterial cultures from the bio-reactor (110) through a first pipe (112) into the oil tank (100); at least one spraying nozzle (116) connected to the first pipe (112) for spraying the bacterial cultures onto the oil tank's floor and walls under anaerobic conditions; and a second pump (118) for pumping fluid out of the oil tank (100) through a second pipe (120, 122) into a receiving container (110, 123). |
