Sludge Profiling
The unique Sludge Profiler for Oil Tank (SPOT) is a revolutionary patented
technology designed to provide real-time, high resolution quantitative data on
the volume of sludge within the client crude oil tanks. SPOT relies on
patented Solar technology and Nitrogen purged system that is ATEX certified
and INTRINSICALLY SAFE. SPOT utilizes robotic technology to measure the
quantitative volume from sludge-oil interface to tank bottom. SPOT is
designed for external floating roof.
For internal floating roof (IFR) type of tanks, the safest option to measure
the shell sludge levels is using thermography. The topographic survey is
designed to accurately locate and quantify sludge accumulations contained in
crude oil storage tanks. By identifying the location and height of sludge
banks, maintenance programs can be prioritised, stock control can be
improved, and representative samples can be taken. The topographic survey
reduces the potential risk associated with landing a floating roof when large
sludge banks are present, Mastir cannon and mixer patterns can also be
monitored by surveying on a regular basis.
Fluid Nozzle System
(Mastir Cannons)
Mastir Cannons are designed to keep tanks free from sludge thereby maximising tank utilisation,
minimising process upsets, reducing corrosion of the tank floor plates by maintaining a clean floor
and an open water draw.
Regular operation of a fixed installation Mastir Cannon as part of a routine sludge control strategy
will have a dramatic effect on the scale of the tank clean prior to inspection and will minimise the
amount of sludge to processed and disposed, thereby contributing to the tank cleaning personnel
while minimising impact on the environment.
Hydro Dozer
(No-Man-Entry Tank Cleaning Equipment)
Reduces the desludging phase of the tank cleaning program.
A reduction in the number of personnel required inside the tank contributing to the
safety of the tank clean.
Can push large volume of sludge to a sump and pump suction
Dozer tracks macerate the
un-pumpable sludge into pumpable condition.
Can be converted to remote operation for desludging tanks, lagoons, interceptors and
pits.
Can be used to perform secondary tank cleaning tasks including transportation of floor
plates, coils, pumps etc.
