How It Works
Deployment: The crawler is inserted into the target confined space.
Operation: Controlled remotely, the ROV positions the suction hose in direct contact with sludge or debris.

Monitoring: An Optional camera system lets the operator see the cleaning live.
Completion: Waste is safely transferred for treatment or licensed disposal.
