Robotic Tank Floor Inspection

In a traditional api 653 floor inspection the tank is drained cleaned and degassed.

Robotic tank floor inspection. We keep storage tanks in service by using the latest in robotic inspection technology to provide floor thickness maps without having to empty and open your tanks. Ae of storage tanks is a great tool to help prioritize maintenance. Our otis the online tank robotic inspection solution. The robot designed is intended for the inspection of various types of ferromagnetic structures such as ship hulls wind turbine towers bridges and fuel tanks in order to detect surface faults.

Comprehensive storage tank floor inspection services are provided by diakont using a robotic crawler dubbed the stingray which can be safely deployed while the tanks remain filled and operational. Robotic tank inspection. The process allows visual inspection by a video camera while the tank is in service. The advantage is the tank can remain full and in service during the inspection.

The tcr arabia s in tank robotic inspection service systematically scans the tank bottom floor of a full tank with an array of eight ultrasonic transducers and relays high volume ut data for analysis. Our ground breaking technology uses ultrasonic technology to inspect the floor including the critical zone which provides an accurate tank floor plate condition assessment with limited or no downtime. With the combination of highly skilled personnel in service robotic tank floor inspection systems irts provides api 653 compliant inspections of above ground storage tanks without the safety risks cost or hassle of removing tanks from operations. Deferral of out of service tank inspection can be obtained.

01 safer our robots do all the work we remove people from dangerous places. Providing refineries and tank farm owner s a safe and efficient nondestructive testing ndt inspection for large hydrocarbon storage tanks. A robotic tank inspection is a tank floor inspection performed using a remotely operated vehicle. Our otis robotic tank bottom inspection series provides inspection according to the api 653 standards which.

While the methodology does not meet the requirements of api 653. Api 653 robotic tank inspection is incorporated as an approved method under the api 575. A robotic tank. Due to local regulation issues tanks usually need to be taken out of service for a fixed time period for inspection without knowing in advance if this is actually necessary.

This requires the tank to be taken out of service for 3 to 4 weeks.
