AUTOMATED CLEANING
Automated cleaning uses robotic equipment and remote-operated systems to clean tanks, vessels, and industrial equipment while minimizing manual entry. Cascade Energy Services deploys advanced robotic tools that allow operators to break down sludge, circulate solids, and clean internal surfaces without exposing personnel to confined spaces.
These technologies improve safety, reduce downtime, and deliver consistent cleaning results across large or difficult-to-access equipment.
Safer, Faster Tank and Vessel Cleaning Through Advanced Automation.
AUTOMATED CLEANING METHODS
MANWAY CANNONS
WHAT IT IS: High-powered robotic cleaning systems inserted through tank manways to break down solids and sludge.
HOW IT WORKS: Manway cannons deliver powerful water streams into tanks and vessels to erode hardened sludge and debris. Operators control the system remotely while monitoring the cleaning process using integrated cameras and lighting.
Key Benefits:
-
Reduces confined space entry
-
Breaks down heavy sludge and solids
-
Remote operation improves safety
-
Effective for large tanks and process vessels
-
Provides post-job video and images from inside the tank to verify cleaning results
ROBOTIC TANK SWEEPS
WHAT IT IS: Rotating cleaning tools designed to circulate and break down accumulated solids inside tanks.
HOW IT WORKS: Tank sweeps use high-flow water and rotating nozzles to loosen solids and create circulation inside the tank. The loosened material can then be pumped out or removed during cleaning operations.
Key Benefits:
-
Ideal for large storage tanks
-
Breaks down compacted sludge and solids
-
Can operate in sealed tanks
-
Reduces labour and downtime
VESSEL CLEANING TOOLS (VCT'S)
WHAT IT IS: Compact robotic tools designed for cleaning inside vessels with complex internal structures.
HOW IT WORKS: VCT systems are inserted into vessels and tanks and use adjustable positioning and rotating nozzles to clean internal surfaces. Their compact and lightweight design allows them to navigate tight spaces and irregular geometries.
Key Benefits:
-
Precise cleaning inside complex vessels
-
Reaches difficult internal areas
-
Reduces need for manual entry
-
Improves safety during vessel and tank maintenance
-
Rooftop mountable
