The robotic method of cleaning petrochemical equipment from sediments with consequent recycling and disposal

MARTin mobile autonomous robotic system from the "Mirrico" Group is designed to clean containers and devices up to 50,000 m3 with subsequent processing and utilization of the extracted settlings.

MARTin system consists of three blocks, each of which can be packaged with different equipment, based on the requirements and conditions of the customer. The fourth block for the disposal (neutralization) of oil waste and water treatment is under development by the "Mirrico" Group.

The basic installation model includes:

1. Block for extraction of bottom sediments and washing of internal surfaces from oil deposits
   • Upgraded mobile 20-foot marine container equipped with lighting, heating and air conditioning systems. The container is divided into two compartments (an operator compartment and a compartment for storage and transportation of auxiliary equipment). The operator compartment is equipped with the operator's working place, systems for control of robotic devices, video surveillance and warning. The compartment for storage and transportation of auxiliary equipment is equipped with a hydraulic station, a place for placement of a robotic cleaner and robotic gun, as well as auxiliary equipment (hoses, hydraulic trap, nozzles, flow meters, etc.) and instrumentation and automated control systems. All the equipment is certified and fire-flame-proof. The equipment is placed at the 12-meter trailer and is equipped with a process vessel including a heat exchanger, washing pump, level sensors, etc. The room also has lighting, heating and air conditioning systems and allows to work at a temperature from -30 to +45 ° С.
2. Block of cleaning and processing (phase separation) of sediments
   • The basic set includes various equipment and devices (tanks, hydrocyclones, dehydrator, tricanters, pumps, agitators, scroll conveyors, electric diesel station, bandaging materials and instrumentation system). All equipment is located in a specially designed room, which in transport position has the dimensions of a 40-foot sea container located on its own chassis. In the operation mode, the container design allows to increase the useful area of the room in half by 15 minutes. The room also has lighting, heating and air conditioning systems and allows to work at temperatures from -30 to +45 ° C.
3. Unloading block. Block of storage and transportation of additional equipment and bandaging materials
   • The basic complement consists of a modernized heat-insulated 40-foot marine design container, located on its own chassis. The container is equipped with a place for storage of additional equipment, spare parts, greases, tools, places for drying and storage of overalls, PPE. The room also has lighting, heating and air conditioning systems and allows to work at temperatures from -30 to +45 ° C.

The equipment is completely self-contained, no crane or tractor equipment and steam supply are required to install and start the unit. Only diesel fuel or electricity supply is necessary to operate the unit. All equipment is certified and implemented fire and explosion safe.
