|
Capabilities
|
First and only Zone 0 Ex certified, remote controlled, ‘No Man Entry’ robotic tank cleaning | Eliminates confined space entry, cleans safely, with precision and efficiency | suitable for all sizes including overground, underground, horizontal and vertical
|
|
No Man Entry
|
At no time during the cleaning process is there a requirement for human presence in the confined storage container.
|
|
Safety
|
Technical operator remains a safe distance away in the Zone 1 control unit, where they can monitor activity and progress, through a series of ATEX cameras fixed to the robot | Workers are not exposed to hazardous confined space environments
|
|
Automation
|
Two different sized machines | Above ground storage tanks | Smaller sites and underground storage tanks and containers
|
|
Reporting
|
The entire tank cleaning operation is recorded on CCTV from the ATEX cameras, available upon completion of the works | All files are date and time stamped to ensure the process is traceable for auditing purposes
|
|
Environment
|
Auger system breaks down heavy sludge without the requirement to use water | Generated waste material is transported from the site using an ADR tanker and is safely treated in an authorised, licensed facility
