Online Robotic Sludge Removal Systems

Good Luck builds and operates unique robotic machines which removes sludge and sediments from closed, complex industrial structures as Oily basins, cooling towers, holding pools, lagoons, tanks and water bodies.The accumulation of sludge or sediments in these facilities reduces operational efficiency and frequently contains toxic compounds. Handling these hazardous materials in structures like cooling towers or storage tanks imposes serious safety and long-term health risks to workers. The costs of shut-down time required for sludge removal and/or storage in tank or lagoon farms where land values are at a premium add to the problem.

Thanks to its hydraulic controls the unit can operate fully submerged underwater or inside flammable/explosive atmospheres. This allows us to remove sludge from Refineries, Petrochemical plants, cooling towers and oil separators as they operate.

The robot is equipped with devices which enable it to work in almost any space eliminating the cost of maintenance shutdowns. The unit is rigidly built to provide powerful operation under harsh conditions. Unique non-electric proximity sensors help the robot navigate around support columns and other architectural features even when the operator is unable to see it. The special propulsion unit and powerful sludge pump adapt to variations in viscosity and insure speedy, efficient and safe completion of the task.
