Why OCS – Operation Clean Sweep?
By applying the principles of OCS, companies can help reduce plastic pollution and protect ecosystems.
OCTRON® is our solution for blowing off pellets on trucks. It offers with Operation Clean Truck solutions for the OCS project, Operation Clean Sweep. Our installations blow plastic granules off trucks to minimise the amount of plastic particles finding their way into the environnement.
Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) is the umbrella term for the global (petro)chemical industry’s efforts to minimise the amount of plastic particles finding their way into the environment (the water, the ocean).
An important part of this is the cleaning / blowing of trucks. CYAGO has named this:
OCT – Operation Clean Truck
Trucks can be filled with up to 10 000 kilos of plastic granules. During the filling of the trucks, via a manhole at the top, there is a risk of spilling granules around the manhole.
Then as the trucks leave the site, granules end up on public roads, and via the rain, in gutters, sewers, rivers, seas and oceans.
Our installations consist, as standard, of a tunnel, a blower, air knives, piping and an electrical cabinet. The blower with inlet silencer is mounted on a chassis next to the OCTRON installation.
The customised air knives blow off the plastic granules. The piping is made out of stainless steel.
In 2013, we installed a first installation for Total (in Feluy, Belgium). In 2015, the United Nations established the Sustainable Development Goals, a new global sustainable development agenda for 2030. These are promoted as global sustainable development goals. The result of these sustainable development goals, which include Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), has seen a continued demand for Octron® .
In 2019, we built another installation. In 2020, more installations were started up in the Netherlands. 2021 will begin with an installation in France.
CYAGO is happy to be able to contribute to a sustainable world.

With a cyan structure, we want to make our company a fun and stimulating place. We aim for “satisfaction”: for us as employees and for our customers.
Plastic pollution is a major problem for our planet. Plastic ends up in our natural environment in all shapes and sizes, which is particularly harmful for fauna and flora, and for human beings.
Dedication, diligence and passion are synonymous with our ‘YOBO’ spirit (“You Only Blow Once”).
