Vessel inspection system reduces manned entry

The SNK system delivers 40x optical zoom and a further 10x digital zoom, ensuring that even very large tanks can be inspected without the need to set up scaffolding or tie up resources for safety cover. Pan and tilt capability ensures the user can look around the entire structure, while the optional manhole tripod allows the system to be deployed through manways and inspection hatches from 150mm dia.

Included in the system is a pair of integrated high power LED lamps that ensure the internals are well lit. The latest imaging module incorporates a low light enhancement capability, ensuring that inspectors can get the highest quality images and video.

Paul Sacker of Crimson Industrial Vision comments: “We have had a lot of interest from a wide variety of industries looking to document the condition of their assets and allow detailed inspection without manned entry. Customers from pharmaceutical, metal processing, petrochem and chemical industries are under increasing pressure to reduce risk and manned entry of vessels and still need good information about asset condition – the SNK system allows this.”
