Providing tank owners for the first time with a safe, inexpensive look inside fuel tanks, the OpticSweep™ system
is a patent-pending approach to inspect and clean fuel in underground and aboveground storage tanks.
It utilizes:
Fiber-optic technology to provide an unprecedented look at in-tank fuel quality and bottom contamination
An integrated vacuum system that simultaneously can extract fuel impurities upon sighting
Our uniquely designed filtration process
removing impurities to maximize the amount of
fuel that can be returned to the tank
How OpticSweep benefits tank owners
Efficient tank-bottom inspection without shutting down the fuel-storage system or loss of revenue
Integrated scope and vacuum probe visually inspects and cleans fuel at the same time
Powerful vacuum removes water, sludge, microbial bacteria and sediment
Fiber-optic scope probes the entire
tank bottom -- including low spots where water and
bacteria accumulate
Visual confirmation shows that the tank bottom is free of water, sludge, sediment and damaging bacteria
Fuel restoration yields substantial savings on contaminated fuel disposal
Process prevents phase separation by keeping water out of all locations in tanks
Getting the water out and keeping it out is the key to clean, uncontaminated fuel and rust-free UST's and AST's
Installing a hose or pipe straight down the fill pipe is a typical method of water removal.
The result of the typical method, without a visual confirmation, is that much of the water, bacteria and sludge are left in low lying spots in the tank and in critical areas such as the ATG probes.
The keys to a clean UST or AST are:
being able to reach the entire tank bottom
having a visual confirmation that the tank is free of water and contamination
having a regularly scheduled maintenance program.
