STP Tank Mechanized Cleaning: Revolutionize Your Industrial Tank Maintenance

Manual tank cleaning is a hazardous, time-consuming, and costly endeavor that can lead to significant downtime, safety risks, and inconsistent results. The STP Tank Mechanized Cleaning system redefines industrial tank maintenance, offering a cutting-edge robotic solution that ensures unparalleled safety, efficiency, and thoroughness for a wide range of storage and process vessels.

Elevate Your Operations with Automated Precision

The STP Tank Mechanized Cleaning system is a state-of-the-art, non-man-entry solution designed to tackle the most challenging tank cleaning tasks. By leveraging advanced robotics and high-pressure cleaning technologies, it eliminates the need for human personnel to enter confined, hazardous, or toxic environments, setting a new benchmark for operational safety and environmental compliance.

Key Features & Benefits:

1. Unmatched Safety (Zero Human Entry)

• Confined Space Safety: Completely eliminates the need for human entry into tanks, eradicating risks associated with oxygen deficiency, toxic fumes, explosions, and slips/falls.
• Remote Operation: All cleaning operations are managed remotely from a safe control zone, protecting personnel from direct exposure to hazardous materials and environments.
• ATEX/IECEx Certified: Designed and certified for safe operation in explosive atmospheres, making it ideal for hydrocarbon storage, chemical processing, and other volatile environments.

2. Superior Cleaning Performance

• 360° Coverage: Articulated robotic arms with multi-axis nozzles provide comprehensive, precise cleaning of tank walls, floors, roofs, and internal structures, including difficult-to-reach areas.
• High-Pressure Jetting: Utilizes powerful high-pressure water, chemical, or abrasive jets to effectively remove sludge, scale, residue, rust, and other stubborn deposits.
• Customizable Cleaning Protocols: Adaptable cleaning parameters (pressure, flow rate, nozzle type, trajectory) for various tank sizes, geometries, and contamination types.

3. Optimized Efficiency & Uptime

• Reduced Downtime: Significantly faster cleaning cycles compared to traditional manual methods, leading to minimized operational interruptions and increased asset availability.
• Consistent Results: Automated precision ensures uniform and repeatable cleaning quality, reducing the likelihood of repeat cleanings due to missed spots.
• Resource Optimization: Efficient use of cleaning media (water, chemicals) and energy, contributing to lower operational costs and environmental impact.

4. Advanced Monitoring & Control

• Real-time Visual Feedback: Integrated high-definition cameras (including ATEX-rated options) provide live video feeds, allowing operators to monitor the cleaning progress and inspect tank integrity remotely.
• Sensor Integration: Optional sensors for gas detection, temperature, and pressure enhance safety and provide crucial data during operations.
• Intuitive Control Interface: User-friendly software allows for precise control over robot movement, nozzle articulation, and cleaning parameters.

5. Versatile & Adaptable Design

• Modular System: Easily configurable and adaptable to a wide range of tank types, sizes, and shapes, including vertical, horizontal, spherical, and irregularly shaped vessels.
• Various Entry Points: Deployable through manholes, nozzles, or other existing tank openings, minimizing the need for extensive tank modifications.
• Multi-Industry Application: Suitable for a broad spectrum of industries dealing with bulk liquid storage.

Ideal For Applications In:

• Oil & Gas: Crude oil tanks, refined product storage, fuel depots, slop tanks.
• Chemical Processing: Storage tanks for various chemicals, reaction vessels.
• Wastewater Treatment: Sludge tanks, clarifiers, digesters.
• Food & Beverage: Large vats, silos, fermentation tanks (CIP pre-wash).
• Power Generation: Fuel oil storage tanks, cooling towers.
• Pharmaceutical & Mining: Process vessels requiring thorough cleaning.

Technical Specifications (Illustrative - Specifics Vary by Configuration):

• Deployment Method: Manhole entry, nozzle entry, top-mounted.
• Cleaning Media: High-pressure water (hot/cold), specialized chemical solutions, abrasive slurry.
• Operating Pressure: Up to 1000 bar (14,500 psi) depending on nozzle and pump configuration.
• Flow Rate: Customizable based on application, typically 50-500 LPM.
• Robot Reach: Configurable robotic arm extensions for various tank diameters/heights.
• Camera System: Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) ATEX-certified cameras with LED lighting.
• Material Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel and robust alloys.
• Certifications: ATEX Zone 0/1/2, IECEx, CE, ISO 9001.
