Experience the future of inspection with our state-of-the-art robotic technology. Our robotic inspection services offer a safer, more thorough analysis of your crude oil storage tanks, diesel, tanks, Petroleum tanks, water, and vessels, minimizing risks and maximizing operational efficiency.

The total cost of conventional inspections significantly exceeds the expense of cleaning and MFL inspection. Expenses related to material transfer, product downgrades, and tank downtime can be substantial. Additionally, premature repair scans have a high hidden cost. When a tank is emptied for traditional inspections, it disrupts operations, leading to a need for rapid inspections that often come with a premium price and unnecessary repairs that could be delayed for five to ten years.

With Quanteckor’s In-Service Robotic Tank Inspection service, you can reduce costs by conducting an API 653 inspection of your Above-Ground Storage Tanks (ASTs) without taking them offline for manual cleaning and inspection. This service utilizes high-density Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) scanning of the storage tank floor while the tank remains full and operational. An automatic robotic crawler enters the tank to collect data such as thickness and ultrasonic soundness. The process also allows for visual inspection via a video camera.

Quanteckor’s In-Tank Robotic Inspection service systematically scans the tank bottom with an array of eight ultrasonic transducers, providing high-volume UT data for analysis. These precise and reliable scans offer quantitative assessments of tank floor integrity, pinpointing areas of corrosion and measuring remaining plate thickness. Verification studies confirm that this is a dependable method for API 653 inspections. The in-tank service follows a digital inspection grid, collecting over 200,000 UT scans (based on the average scan pattern in a 100 ft. diameter tank) for computer analysis.

Key Benefits:

• Eliminate the high cost of taking down your tanks
• Complete an API 653 inspection in days instead of weeks or months
• Avoid disruptions in normal service and maintain consistent revenue
• Perform repairs only as needed
• Minimize impact on costs and operations
• Reduce environmental and safety risks without opening the tank or requiring manned entry
• Often, cleaning and waste disposal are not needed as the robot pushes sludge aside as it moves

One of the standout features of this technique is the elimination of the high cost of decommissioning your tanks. The inspection can be completed per API 653 standards in just a few days, reducing environmental hazards and ensuring a safer process with minimal contact with the tank.
