Tanknology offers its exclusive Petroscope internal tank inspection
for underground storage tanks. Petroscope is a tool that can be
used to:
Evaluate the
structural integrity of steel and fiberglass tanks Evaluate the
interior condition of lined tanks Locate bungs
and check for leaks Find source
of clogged filters Locate debris
in tanks
How does Petroscope work?
After purging the tank of gasoline and vapors, a robotic camera
is inserted into the fill pipe of the tank. The technician begins
systematically scanning the tank, zooming in closely on suspect
situations. The camera is able to observe anomalies such as pits,
rust, obvious water intrusions, streaks and cracks which affect
the integrity of the tank.
Why would I want to use Petroscope?
Petroscope requires no excavation and minimal business disruption
to perform a video inspection of the tank thus providing you a
safe, cost-effective way to view the interior of your USTs.
What happens to the video tape?
Once a thorough video inspection of the tank is complete, the
tape is viewed by a corrosion engineer and a report is generated
for the customer assessing the integrity of the tank. This tape
also provides you with permanent documentation on the tank's interior
condition on that day.
