Robotic Tank Cleaning

Smart, Safe, and Non-Entry Cleaning for Crude and Heavy Fluid Tanks

Overview

Chartwell Energy delivers advanced robotic tank cleaning solutions for crude oil, tar, and heavy fluid storage tanks. Our fully automated, non-entry systems are designed to operate in hazardous, confined, and high-risk environments, significantly reducing downtime, minimizing human exposure, and ensuring HSE compliance.

As an indigenous leader in specialized cleaning solutions, we help clients maintain asset integrity, enhance environmental compliance, and extend the service life of critical storage infrastructure across upstream and downstream operations.

Our Robotic Cleaning Capabilities

Internal Tank Cleaning
We utilize remote-controlled interior robots equipped with sensors, fluid jets, and cutting tools to dislodge and extract sludge, scale, and residues, eliminating the need for confined space entry.

External Magnetic Crawlers
Our robotic crawlers safely traverse tank surfaces and structures to remove external deposits, corrosion, and coating defects, making them ideal for tank farms and large installations.

Real-Time Monitoring & Control
Operators maintain full visibility and control of cleaning operations through remote monitoring, ensuring safety and precision at every stage.

Zero-Entry Compliance
No human entry is required throughout the cleaning process, making our solution ideal for HSE-sensitive environments or tanks with high LEL concentrations.
