Ireland’s first ATEX Zone 0 no-man-entry tank maintenance robot

Industry-Leading Safety and Innovation

Ambipar is the first company in Ireland to introduce an innovative no-man-entry robotic tank cleaning solution for ATEX Zone 0 environments. Our Robotic Tank Cleaning Unit delivers a safer, faster and more efficient turnaround for hazardous above-ground tank maintenance. By eliminating the need for personnel to enter confined or explosive-risk spaces, we prioritise operator safety while ensuring compliance with the highest industry standards.

How It Works

The Robotic Tank Cleaning Unit is deployed in combination with an ADR vacuum tanker, allowing for the safe suction, discharge and transportation of tank cleaning waste. Specially developed for handling hazardous and contaminated substances, the robot is fully certified for ATEX (Ex) Zone 0.

Key features include:

• Zone 0 robotic system equipped with full lighting and CCTV for real-time monitoring

• Zone 1 control room providing operators with a safe, comfortable working environment

• Hydraulic system deployed via hose reel from the main container unit

• Robotic manhole entry system to minimise human tank entry requirements

• High-pressure water jetting capability once pre-cleaning has removed explosive atmospheres

Applications

The Robotic Tank Cleaning Unit is ideally suited for:

• Hazardous chemical storage tanks

• Petrochemical facilities

• Oil storage and sludge removal

• Contaminated product tanks

• Confined or high-risk industrial tank cleaning
