Confined space entry is a daily question at some of the world’s largest chemical sites and tier-one corporations are putting in place policies to reduce and eventually remove confined space entry on a global scale. By choosing Elios, Chemicals professionals have in their hands a tool that contributes to this goal by reducing confined space entry for visual inspection to the strictly unavoidable minimum.

Applications

PIPE RACK, CABLES, CONDUITS

Flying between indoor pipe rack, cables, and conduits in a production facility to check the integrity of welding and detect potential leaks.

FERMENTER TANKS

Increasing the quality of batches by systematically inspecting the shaft and blades of fermenter tanks in an enzyme production facility.

FIBERGLASS STORAGE TANKS

Checking the walls and welding of a fiberglass-made acid-containing tank of a chemical plant.

PRESSURE VESSELS / STORAGE TANKS

Inspecting decommissioned pressure vessels and storage tanks of a chemical facility.

SUCTION DUCTS

Flying inside suction ducts, from bottom to top, inspecting welding and checking for product build-up on the walls and at the dust collector.

HEAT EXCHANGERS

Looking for tubes clogging of a heat exchanger of a soda ash plant, while piloting beyond the line of sight from the outside of the heat exchanger.

STORAGE SILOS AND BINS

Checking actual cleanliness and assessing the amount of remaining product in a recently-cleaned soda ash silo. Looking for product build-up as well as evaluating the integrity of the gauging cable in the storage bin.
