Sonar system simplifies storage tank sludge monitoring
"Our SPOT system removes the guesswork by quickly and accurately mapping sludge in a storage tank. The end result is a simple, easy-to-understand visual representation of where the build-ups are, as well as their depth and width. The major advantages of this technology is that it allows us to accurately quote for a tank cleaning job. As we know exactly what is in the tank, we are able to advise on the optimum cleaning strategy and offer a fair and transparent fixed price. This is extremely helpful for tank owners when it comes to budgeting as there are no nasty surprises. The system also helps with performance monitoring of online cleaning systems and allows engineers to set maintenance programmes."
