April 11 2024

Nowadays, most crude oil storage tanks or other hydrocarbon tanks are cleaned using several so-called “NON MAN ENTRY” systems, where using extensive manual labor for final cleaning is still necessary.

Our unique ESOT system is simple and effective, it has been proven reliable and safe, and provides a rapid return on investment.

With the ESOT system now available to service-provider companies within the oil and gas industry, there is now an opportunity to supply SAFE solution to clients, “SAFETY FIRST”.

Rover ADEX was the first ATEX Zone 0 certified vehicle available in Europe. Our ESOT consists of a remotely operated ADEX rover (approved for ATEX Zone 0) and a TVC cabin (certified for ATEX Zone 2). The rover is powered and operated from the TVC cabin..ESOT is proven technology, first deployed in the year 2016 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Pros & Limitations

Dramatically cut your sludge removal cost

Reduce total workforce (only three operators per one shift)

Increase operational efficiency and minimize shutdown time (by 30%-40%)

Meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations

Navigate easily through obstructed and hard-to-reach areas

Save workforce and improve safety through automation

Fast and straightforward deployment of ESOT cleaning system and the start of sludge removal from tank

ESOT minimal use of manual labor in oil tanks, with a reduction close to 95 %-100% in comparison to conventional manual cleaning and sludge suction

System reduce high risk for staff of contamination and exposure to carcinogenic substances

Four cameras for ATEX ZONE 0 for control robot inside tank

Initial investment is needed. Return of Investment is after cleaning of 3-4 oil tanks, ~2 years, also for small companies
