So at the next inspection of the same tank after one, two or five years, you can re-examine exactly those places. You also have quality photos and video footage to support the data collected. So when you're done checking, you not only know exactly where the measurements were taken, but you also have a record of it so you can find the risky spots again. At the same time, you get a really high-quality inspection record. the data obtained by the robot is at least as good, if not better, than if it was collected by a human. Liam Hanna, Business Development Manager at Eddyfi Technologies, comments, “Our goal is not just to copy the work of the person inside the tank, but to make inspection at the same or even better level, while actually increasing safety. With Eddyfi Technologies inspection robots, human entry into tanks is no longer required and the risk is removed.ĭigital NDT data collection brings correlating benefits of robotically deployed inspection solutions. As part of Shell’s industry lifesaving rules developed by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, CSE is only allowed in unique circumstances after special permission has been obtained. In doing so, fuel retailers will be able to choose whether to continue sending people inside the tank or a robot instead.Ĭonfined space entry inspections of autogas tanks presents many risks to human operators including gassing which has very serious consequences. It is actively pursuing this remote non-destructive testing (NDT) be legally recognized as an alternative to Bulgaria’s official inspection which necessitates confined space entry, or CSE. Shell has implemented robotic vessel inspection in many of the countries where it operates. Quebec, Canada, OctoFollowing Shell Bulgaria’s formal announcement, Eddyfi Technologies is pleased to confirm its collaboration with the industry leader to identify a safer alternative to manned inspection of autogas tanks: purpose-built inspection robots.
