Diakont has developed a new technology for reliable API 653-compliant floor inspections in filled storage tanks. The conventional inspection method requires tanks to be drained and cleaned, causing significant downtime. The new Diakont technology allows operators to conduct routine inspections without extensive operational impact via a robotic inspection system that is certified explosion-proof. The system uses magnetic flux leakage (MFL) sensors to detect anomalies and an ultrasonic (UT) sensor array to confirm and characterize findings. Expert NDT technicians evaluate inspection data in real time; the results are suitable for complete API 653 inspections, small-scale assessments to support risk-ranking, or baseline data. The system has performed initial inspections in a tank filled with water.
