Robotic Tank Cleaning
Deploy a remote-controlled submersible robot to remove sludge from active liquid storage tanks without draining equipment, stopping production, or requiring personnel to enter confined spaces.
Remove sludge from tanks and covered lagoons without putting people into hazardous confined spaces or taking critical equipment offline. Bristola’s patented, remotely operated cleaning technology works within active liquid storage facilities, moving accumulated solids through a flexible hose to your selected processing option. Maintain production, protect personnel, and plan cleaner, more efficient facility operations with a purpose-built robotic solution.
Robotic sludge removal, facility cleaning, and installation solutions designed to keep liquid storage operations productive and safer.
Deploy a remote-controlled submersible robot to remove sludge from active liquid storage tanks without draining equipment, stopping production, or requiring personnel to enter confined spaces.
Clean accumulated solids from covered lagoons while they remain full and operating. The ROV system protects the lagoon liner and avoids recurring production interruptions after initial installation.
Remove sludge from industrial tanks, lagoons, wastewater facilities, and process systems with a flexible robotic approach that supports safer operations and selected downstream processing options.
Support municipal and industrial wastewater operations with scheduled sludge management and tank cleaning that reduces confined-space exposure while helping facilities remain operational.
Address chemical residues and hazardous materials in liquid storage systems using remote equipment that minimizes worker exposure and supports facilities managing demanding compliance requirements.
Retrofit compatible existing tanks with Bristola’s entry hardware and robotic system after initial preparation, enabling repeat live cleanings without routine draining or human entry.
Bristola’s submersible robotic cleaning system changes how facilities manage accumulated sludge. A remotely operated vehicle enters through a purpose-built portal, reaches the tank or lagoon floor, and transfers solids through a flexible hose to your preferred processing option. The patented airlock-type entry approach removes the need for human entry, draining, temporary storage, and costly shutdowns. It is available for both new liquid storage facilities and retrofits.
See how safer cleaning technology helps facilities protect people, reduce downtime, and maintain productive liquid storage assets.
A safer, more productive alternative to traditional sludge cleaning methods.
Patented robotic technology removes sludge without placing workers inside hazardous confined spaces.
The system works while tanks are in use, avoiding draining and costly production downtime.
Install the system with new facilities or retrofit compatible existing liquid storage assets.
From its Midwest foundation, Bristola supports industrial operators across the United States and worldwide.
Safety-driven innovators changing the future of industrial cleaning.
Founder
Jared Burma is the Founder of Bristola, a pioneering clean technology company he established in 2019 following a near-death experience inside a storage tank that forever changed his perspective on industrial safety. That life-altering moment ignited a passion to create a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional tank cleaning methods. Driven by a deep belief in the future of renewable clean energy, Jared transformed a bold Midwest idea into a global operation serving clients across the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and India. His vision led to the development of a patented, zero-human-entry robotic cleaning system that eliminates operational downtime and protects worker lives. Jared continues to lead Bristola with unwavering commitment to innovation, safety, and a cleaner future for industries worldwide.
Bristola’s remotely operated submersible vehicle enters through a dedicated entry portal or pressure-box arrangement and travels to the tank or lagoon floor. It vacuums accumulated sludge and moves material through a flexible hose to the facility’s chosen processing option. This approach allows cleaning within an active liquid storage asset rather than relying on conventional draining, manual entry, and excavation methods.
