Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a washing system to clean process equipment and the resulted washing system is disclosed. The method involves the conversion and transformation of a small excavation tractor into a remotely operated hydroblasting system that removes the operator from the working environment and avoids the risks of harm and fatigue normally associated with existing cleaning processes.

Abstract: A tool for cleaning a heat exchanger that includes a lance, and an articulated arm fixedly attached to the heat exchanger at a first end, and associated with the lance at a second end. The articulated arm has at least two joints so that the articulated arm can move the lance along two axes in a plane substantially parallel to the tube face of the heat exchanger. The tool further includes a lance transport mechanism attached to the second end of the articulated arm that moves toward and away from the tube face of the heat exchanger in a direction substantially perpendicular to the tube face, the lance transport mechanism attached to the lance so that the lance moves toward and away from the tube face along with the lance transport mechanism.

Abstract: A transport truck for removing and transporting waste fluids, the transport truck having a storage tank mounted on a frame, a motor furnishing transport power to move the truck, and a fluid transfer apparatus. The fluid transfer apparatus includes a diaphragm pump in fluid communication with the storage tank, and having a first side and a second side. The first side has a first coupling configured for attachment to an external structure, and the second side has a second coupling connected to the storage tank by a fluid conduit. The fluid transfer apparatus is closed, so that the fluids within the fluid transfer apparatus are substantially separated from ambient air.

Abstract: A tank cleaning unit is movable within a storage tank and applies cleaning fluid from a fluid spray nozzle onto accumulated sludge or waste in the tank to clean the tank under control of a control system located externally of the storage tank. The unit is moved by drive motors mounted a transport chassis of the unit with guidance from remote control to clear a path toward a desired position in the tank with the cutter fluid spray. The unit applies cleaning fluid to the interior of the tank to clean the accumulated sludge or waste. The unit includes structure to prevent tangling of the supply and control conduits and conductors connecting it to the remote control system. The unit also provides improved visibility in the presence of vaporous or foggy conditions within the tank during spraying, and is more maneuverable while in the tank.

Abstract: A system to manage and analyze conditions of pipeline structures, program product, and associated methods are provided. The system can include a computer defining a pipeline management computer having a processor and memory coupled to the processor to store operating instructions therein to manage and analyze conditions of the pipeline structure. The pipeline management computer can also include a display in communication with the processor to display pipeline project and client entity data and a user interface coupled to the processor to provide the pipeline management user with access to manipulate pipeline project and client entity data. A pipeline management database is provided accessible to the processor of the pipeline management computer. The database can include database records associated with at least one pipeline project related to database records associated with a pipeline management client entity.
