AUGUST 2014 ROV ULTRASONIC THICKNESS TESTING ON TANKS AT PETROMASILA OIL EXPORT TERMINAL

AUS-ROV have made a name for themselves in the Middle East, successfully capturing over five hundred UT spot readings across the steel base of Petromasila's 30m diameter, 20m high and 13ML capacity fire water tank.  AUS-ROV used their remote vacuum system to clean sections of the tank where heavy sediments were encountered. This allowed for AUS-ROV to confidently inspect approximately 80% of the tanks base with random spot thickness checks. This fire tank has been in constant service for over 20 years and cannot be taken offline and drained due to the need to protect the crude oil tanks in the event of a fire. This was one of the most satisfying projects attempted to date for AUS-ROV personnel
