Robotic Phosphoric Tank Sludge Removal Dewatering

A gradual increase in the volume of sludge accumulated in Phosphoric acid tanks and lagoons which are used for storage of phosphoric acid results in depleted storage volume for acid as well as increase in solids in pumpable acid. Good Luck has introduced robotic systems that are designed to remove the acidic sludge from the tanks and lagoons without any MAN ENTRY. Good Luck has a submersible robot for phosphoric acid tanks and a floating robot for phosphoric acid lagoons.

Good Luck “MINI” Robots designed for this job are capable of entering a 600 mm or bigger manhole and removing the sludge. Advantage of having Good Luck robotic sludge management systems are that the sludge removed using Good Luck robots can be treated in Good Luck mobile treatment system to obtain dry cake and recycle the acid back to the plant at the same concentration as it was in the tank.
