Oil Tank Cleaning Robot FAQ
Our oil tank cleaning robot is primarily used for sludge removal from the bottom of tanks after they have been emptied. However, in specific cases, it can perform bottom dredging while maintaining a certain liquid level. We advise consulting our experts before dredging. The equipment’s explosion-proof features make it safe and reliable in environments with volatile gases.
Our sludge cleaning robot is equipped with specialized cutter heads and agitation mechanisms. These units break down hardened or caked oil sludge before it is pumped. This ensures the material flows smoothly and continuously through the high-solids pump. This technique guarantees excellent sludge removal efficiency.
Absolutely. The technology is versatile. Operating as an industrial tank cleaning robot, it is also suitable for other industrial vessels. For example, it can be used for large chemical storage vessels, settling basins, or sumps. While we offer a specialized sewer cleaning robot, this machine can handle sludge removal at the entrance of large-diameter industrial pipes.
Our oil tank cleaning robot puts safety first. First, it is entirely remote-controlled, eliminating the need for operators to enter the hazardous tank interior. Second, we use the highest-grade explosion-proof motors and components. This eliminates the risk of sparks and explosion. The unit features an all-copper body and anti-static design. These measures strictly comply with international oil industry safety standards.
Recovering valuable hydrocarbons from storage tanks is a key customer goal. As a highly efficient industrial tank cleaning robot, our machine focuses on reducing water and impurity content in the sludge. The high-solids pump design ensures that the material extracted has a high concentration of solids. This means the oil sludge recovered by the customer can be more efficiently separated and reprocessed. This not only cleans the tank but also helps customers realize additional oil sludge recovery value.
Wide Applications and Industry Case Study
Diverse Application Scenarios Highlighting the Oil Tank Cleaning Robot Value
The oil tank cleaning robot is an essential tool in these industries:
- Petroleum Refining: Cleaning waxy materials and sludge from crude oil, gasoline, and diesel storage tank bottoms.
- Chemical Storage & Transport: Removing high-viscosity sediments from large chemical and solvent storage tanks.
- Environmental & Energy: Cleaning oil residue pits at fuel power plants and biofuel storage facilities.
- Marine Ports: Maintenance and cleaning of sludge from ballast tanks of bulk carriers and oil tankers.
Success Story: Saudi Aramco Storage Tank Maintenance
Fahad, a manager at a major oil storage facility in Saudi Arabia, faced a challenge. A critical crude oil storage tank needed maintenance. Due to the toxicity and flammability of the oil sludge, contractor safety costs were prohibitively high. Fahad acquired our oil tank cleaning robot. Thanks to its explosion-proof dredging certification and robotic dredge capabilities, cleaning started quickly without risking worker safety. Our sludge cleaning robot removed 95% of the tank bottom sediment in just 15 days. Fahad’s company avoided over 30 days of potential downtime, achieving substantial cost savings.
