Case Studies
150' GASOLINE | REFINERY - SIDE LAUNCH
This refinery had completed an RBI on this tank which only extended the inspection interval by 2 years. They wanted a more thorough inspection with high density data to understand the true condition of the tank, but also had timeline constraints for the inspection.
Case Studies
150' #2 FUEL OIL TANK | POWER PLANT
A power plant client required an on-stream API 653 inspection of a 150-foot diameter red-dyed #2 fuel oil tank. Initial concerns included potential sediment build-up that could interfere with robotic inspection, and a lack of crane access around the tank perimeter.
Case Studies
3x 32' DIESEL TANKS | MINING SITE
An international mining company had a need to inspect 5 diesel tanks at one of their domestic sites. The tanks were used as a back up power supply, but had never been inspected and had no tank drawings. Completing the inspection was critical, as tank failure could have major impacts, and the mining facility wanted to find an online solution.
Case Studies
120' GASOLINE TANK | MIDSTREAM TERMINAL — SIDE LAUNCH
A terminal operator had a critical 120-foot gasoline tank with an internal fiberglass liner that could not be taken offline for extended periods. Inspection was needed by year-end, and the fiberglass liner created a unique technical challenge: conventional UT would not penetrate the coating.
Case Studies
120' NAPHTHA TANK | MIDSTREAM TERMINAL — SIDE LAUNCH
A major terminal operator did not want to drain product below the manway level to install the manway adapter and valve required for a standard side launch inspection — but still needed an onstream API 653 inspection completed. The site worked with Square Robot to complete installation through a different avenue.
Case Studies
40' MGO DIESEL TANK | REFINERY — SIDE LAUNCH
A Singapore refinery had several tanks scheduled for robotic inspection to avoid the significant operational disruption that out-of-service inspections would have caused. For this 40-foot MGO diesel tank, Square Robot worked jointly with their local regional partner to deliver the inspection.
