Common Needs of Australian Customers
1: Difficulty in Cleaning Scale Buildup in Chemical Plants
Many chemical plants in Australia suffer from scale buildup in storage tanks, pipelines, and sedimentation tanks. Traditional manual cleaning is not only costly and inefficient but also poses safety risks. Customers generally desire equipment that can be remotely operated and is safe to use.
2: High Risk in Cleaning Oil Tanks and Storage Tanks
Storage tanks contain flammable or corrosive liquids, making cleaning difficult. The client requires an explosion-proof, remotely controlled dredging solution to reduce the risk of human entry into hazardous environments.
3: Lake and Factory Pool Sludge Removal
Some industrial parks and water treatment plants in Australia also face sludge accumulation problems. Traditional mechanical equipment struggles to access shallow water or confined spaces, and the client desires small, tracked dredges or sludge transport robots for efficient cleanup.
