FASS Remote Tank Cleaning Unit

First Advance is the first and only company in the UK operate a remote tank cleaning system.

Our pioneering Remote Tank Cleaning system - or RTC for short; eliminates all the major health and safety issues faced by staff when cleaning tanks using conventional methods. Our RTC cleaning unit meets ATEX criteria, offering further peace of mind to our clients.

Before the inception of the Remote Tank Cleaning system, staff sent into the tank itself, and because of toxic vapours and chemicals, bulky, cumbersome protective suits and breathing apparatus had to be worn. Couple this with only a very small opening/hatch for entry/exit into the tank; this resulted in a less than suitable working environment.

The Remote Tank Cleaning system uses a hydraulically controlled cleaning unit which houses multi-directional jets which cleaning agents are pumped through; high pressure water cannon which can remove even the most stubborn of residues and a high-powered suction system to remove all sludge and residues from the tank.

The entire system is controlled by a single operator within the comparative comfort and safety of our auxiliary support unit.

The operation of RTC can be viewed live through the internet over a static IP address.
