ROBOTIC TANK AND LAGOON CLEANING

Hydraulically operated sludge dozers are acknowledged as safe and efficient means of de-sludging large storage tanks and lagoons.

The key benefits to the sludge dozer are:

• Intrinsically safe, which means the dozer can operate in hazardous environments.
• Can be broken down into its component part to allow the unit to be passed through a manway and be built within the tank.
• Streamline suction dozer which can drive into the tank and when coupled with our range of vacuum trucks makes for a powerful tool for remote sludge removal in confined spaces.
• Can be made as either a man ride on dozer or remotely operated. When operated remotely the man is removed from the confined space.
• Adaptable design with options to change the operating mode - squeegee blade, digging bucket or hydraulic pump.
• Operated by a hydraulic power pack from a safe location.
• The dozer is ideal to work with the dewatering plant where the combination of the remote dozer and a filter press or D:MAX can work together to remove and process sludges without the need to enter the space.

Storage tanks and lagoons can hold large volumes of waste material, the large volume of waste justifies in situ treatment to either reduce the volume to be disposed of or separate the waste into recyclable elements.

Processing waste sludges through a filter press reduces the waste volume significantly.

Processing through a D:MAX separates the waste fractions for example it can remove large pieces of plastic from silt.

More information on filter presses and the D:MAX (mobile grit screening) can be found on the following pages dewatering plant , mobile grit screening.
