Quick and safe cleaning with our robot
Cleaning of a drinking water reservoir should only be performed when there is a need for cleaning. The time intervals can vary considerably between different reservoirs. What governs how often a cleaning is needed is how well tuned the process of drinking water production is at the waterworks. The status of water pipes and leakage from filters at waterworks also play a significant role. Filter material or sand may be pumped into the reservoirs when faults or disturbances occur.
- National trade association Swedish Water recommends cleaning the bottom surface if sediment at least 5 mm thick covers more than 90% of the surface.
- Swedish Water also recommends cleaning the reservoir if there are traces of organic activity in the sediment, regardless of coverage or thickness of the amount of sediment.
- Cleaning of the wall surface should be performed if there is thick sediment growth. In that case, manual cleaning is required.
Robotic cleaning of the bottom surface with the reservoir in operation
Cleaning a drinking water reservoir or water tower with our cleaning robot developed in-house is safer, faster and more hygienic than draining a reservoir and cleaning it manually.
Cleaning of the bottom surface of the reservoir is carried out with the reservoir still in operation connected to the distribution network. To ensure that the entire bottom surface is cleaned, the cleaning robot is equipped with a sonar that helps with positioning and mapping of various obstacles in the reservoir such as pillars and pipes.
Our cleaning robot is equipped with a rotating brush and hoses that quickly pump out the loose sediment from the bottom surface of the reservoir. The robot can clean at a rate of 70 to 120 m2 per hour. With a powerful lighting source and a camera, our technicians can with great precision operate the cleaning robot on the bottom surface of the reservoir.
After each completed cleaning, the customer gets a documentation with photos of the process.
