TANK SLUDGE PROFILING & MAPPING

The profiler is ATEX-certified which makes it suitable for all types of product.
The profiler is inserted into the product through the roof support entry-point or manhole entry without the need for the tank to be emptied.
Only a small team of our experts is required, minimizing the number of people on the tank roof.
By using our advanced software the survey usually takes only just a day, which makes it fast and cost-efficient.

It quantities sludge volume prior to cleaning.
It creates an accurate 3D sludge map to ensure safe roof landing and manhole removal.
It reduces unforeseen delays during maintenance.
It offers verification of the desludging operation’s success.
It allows for better asset management over the plant’s lifetime.
It enables accurate sludge accumulation monitoring

Online Robotic Tank Inspection or On-line Tank Inspection System (OTIS) executes tank bottom inspections.
The tank bottom inspection equipment uses UT sensors to detect any variation in thickness of the bottom plate while the tank remains in service.
High quality robotic equipment ensures constant, controlled and proven conditions for tank bottom inspections.
Robotic equipment is safer than manual inspection, and is unaffected by working conditions. Its advanced, computer-based ultrasonic technique makes data collection more accurate.
