Non Man Entry Tank cleaning
Large refineries and petrochemical companies hold heavy oils, as crude oil, in large tanks. With time, heavy sediments accumulate at the bottom of the tanks, partially obstructing the tank & preventing its proper and economical operation. Maintenance teams must shut down operations & clean the sediments. They also perform routine maintenance, e.g., welding, that requires a gas-free state within the tank.
Cleaning such tanks requires a massive workforce & long shut-down periods of the tank, up to several months. Furthermore, petrochemical companies do not accept sediments for re-use. Regulations classify these sediments as hazardous waste which requires disposal in special depositories. All this makes tank cleaning a costly operation.
MG ROBOTIC( General Service Robots ) non-entry engineering solutions private limited has robotic arms with high-pressure pumps for removal of deposited sludge in the tank and a mobile physio-chemical treatment system to recover oil, recycle water and obtain dry cake with oil content less than 10%. Our systems are designed for the No Man Entry cleaning concept. MG ROBOTIC( General Service Robots ) “MINI” robots are used for the final cleaning stage of the tanks.
