Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a cleaning system for an anaerobic digester tank or covered lagoon is presented which has a box assembly attached to the tank or covered lagoon and a hose system is configured to move through the box assembly and the tank or covered lagoon. In one or more arrangements, the cleaning system may include a hose mover configured to move the hose system in and out of the tank or covered lagoon. In one or more arrangements, the hose system extends into and through an aperture of the box assembly and the cleaning system includes a seal configured to prevent liquid from escaping through the aperture of the box assembly. In one or more arrangements, the cleaning system may also include a collection box assembly configured to hold liquid which escapes from the box assembly.

Abstract: Retrofit box systems to maximize operational capacity of inaccessible floors are described. The retrofit box system includes a gate complex that provides fluid communication between an inaccessible floor and a box, and a box to deliver a cleaner to the inaccessible floor and adapted for equalizing pressure when the inaccessible floor is under water while minimizing waste seepage from the retrofit box system. The retrofit box system further includes a power system and a control system to deliver the cleaner to the inaccessible floor and remove waste from the inaccessible floor and the box.

Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a cleaning system for cleaning a floor of a closed system is presented which has a cleaner configured to clean the floor of the closed system, and the cleaner enters the closed system at a position located below a surface level created by liquid within the closed system. In one or more arrangements, the cleaning system may contain a gate complex configured to allow selective access into the closed system. In one or more arrangements, the cleaning system may contain a box system and wherein the cleaner is initially positioned at least partially within the interior volume of the box system.

Abstract: Auger cleaned inaccessible floor systems to maximize operational capacity of inaccessible floors. The auger cleaned inaccessible floor system includes a floor having at least one channel beneath the lowest point of the floor extending horizontally at least half the length of the longest dimension of the floor and adapted for receiving an auger cleaner, at least one gate complex that provides fluid communication between the channel and at least one box and further provides access to the floor for the auger cleaner, and at least one box to deliver the auger cleaner to the channel and adapted for equalizing pressure when the inaccessible floor is under water to deliver an auger cleaner for cleaning. Thus, the auger cleaned inaccessible floor system allows cleaning of the inaccessible floor while the inaccessible floor system is in operation increasing the yield from the inaccessible floor system.

Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a lagoon entry system and method of retrofitting a lagoon entry system to a covered lagoon is presented. In one or more arrangements, the lagoon entry system includes a center wall connected to an interior portion, an exterior portion, and a gate complex. The gate complex includes a gate which is configured to provide selective access into the covered lagoon, namely access by a submersible robot cleaner configured to clean the floor of the covered lagoon. In one or more arrangements, the lagoon entry system is retrofitted to a covered lagoon by cutting a hole in the cover of the covered lagoon, excavating material from an interior area located inside the covered lagoon and an exterior area located outside the lagoon. Once the interior area and exterior area have been excavated, the center wall, interior portion, and exterior portion can be placed and properly connected.
