Utility Tank Cleaning
Clean water storage tanks, cooling systems, fuel tanks, and utility infrastructure with methods designed to support compliance, efficiency, and continued plant operations.
Keep critical utility plant assets operating efficiently with Bristola’s zero-human-entry robotic cleaning and maintenance solutions. Our equipment helps facilities address sludge, sediment, and confined-space risks without emptying tanks or interrupting production. From water and cooling systems to fuel storage and process infrastructure, we deliver practical support that protects people, preserves uptime, and improves long-term asset performance.
Specialized robotic cleaning, maintenance, and assessment solutions for critical utility tanks, cooling systems, and liquid-handling infrastructure.
Clean water storage tanks, cooling systems, fuel tanks, and utility infrastructure with methods designed to support compliance, efficiency, and continued plant operations.
Use remotely operated submersible equipment to remove sludge and sediment from liquid storage assets while reducing confined-space exposure and avoidable production interruptions.
Develop preventive maintenance plans for digesters and liquid storage assets to help sustain performance, anticipate cleanouts, and avoid extended shutdowns.
Map sediment in noncovered ponds and lagoons with sonar, GPS, and 3D reporting to quantify depths, sludge volumes, and dredging needs.
Retrofit existing liquid storage facilities with zero-human-entry hardware that supports safer future cleanings and helps keep essential systems productive.
Install an adaptable entry portal on qualifying tank manholes to enable repeat robotic access and simplify future inspection and cleaning service.
Bristola helps central utility plant operators maintain tanks and liquid-handling equipment without relying on traditional human-entry cleaning. Its patented entry system and remote-controlled submersible robot can work while a tank remains in use, helping reduce shutdown planning, temporary storage needs, and worker exposure. From routine sediment removal to retrofit planning, each solution supports safer operations, cleaner assets, and more dependable facility performance.

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 supports liquid-storage and process assets commonly found in utility and industrial operations, including water storage tanks, cooling systems, fuel tanks, wastewater infrastructure, covered lagoons, and anaerobic digesters. Services focus on robotic cleaning, sediment removal, maintenance planning, mapping, entry portal installation, and retrofits. The appropriate scope is determined by the asset configuration, material handled, access points, and operational requirements.
