RobotPlusPlus’s Anti-corrosion Robot recently completed the task of hydroblasting storage tank for Vopak Bohua (Tianjin) Terminal Co., Ltd. ("Vopak Tianjin"), and both quality and efficiency of the work were highly praised by the client.

Vopak (Tianjin) was jointly invested by Royal Vopak N.V., a Dutch conglomerate specializing in the storage of bulk liquid chemicals, gasses and oil products, and Tianjin Bohai Chemical Industry Group.

The difficulty of such a task is to remove the finishing coats, part of intermediate coats and partially corroded layers on the walls of storage tanks, whilst the primer and intermediate coating layers have to be retained. Therefore, the task requires high accuracy of parameter setting, adjusting and operating for high water jetting pressures and movement speeds. In order to solve the issue and considerably reduce accident rates, RobotPlusPlus finished coatings removal and water recycling by using an ultra-high pressure water jetting device and a recovery unit installed on the robot.

Taking into account of the inflammable and explosive characteristics in the workplace of the chemical industry, RobotPlusPlus developed the first anti-corrosion robot in China that receives explosion-proof certification, and now has been widely used and highly praised by many petrochemical companies, including China Petroleum Pipeline Coating Engineering, PetroChina Dalian Petrochemical Company, Sinopec Qilu Petrochemical Company and so forth.

RobotPlusPlus, committed to the mission of “Empowering Humans with Robots”, is the first enterprise in China to industrialize and mass-produce aerial work robots. With a portfolio of robotic solutions that has been widely applied in anti-corrosion, inspection, flaw detection, cleaning, derusting, spraying, polishing and other scenes, RobotPlusPlus will, together with industry partners, promote the safety, environmental protection, and efficiency of work at height.
