Chemical inspection drones are revolutionizing the industry

NO human entry and
work at height

$65k+ saved on a UT tank inspection
by eliminating scaffolding

Just 4h to visually inspect an
entire pressure vessel

Why choose the Elios 3 UT drone for chemical plant inspections?

Chemical plants must adhere to strict regulations for asset inspection and maintenance, which can be costly and time-consuming. The Elios 3 drone significantly reduces inspection time and costs while maintaining the required data quality required by API and EEMUA regulations or other governmental bodies. In just two hours, you can perform a complete close-up visual and UT spot inspection of a tank without having to send anyone inside. This enables precise maintenance planning and reduces the need for rope access and scaffolding, further reducing costs.

The UT payload developed in collaboration with Cygnus Instruments allows the drone to perform accurate UT spot measurements of tanks, pipelines, chimneys, distillation columns, and much more. Combined with advanced LiDAR technology, the UT drone can provide precise localization of all measurements and display them in the 3D model of the asset which allows historical comparisons and post-flight review and sharing.

Safety

Avoid having personnel working at height or in confined spaces by performing remote drone inspections safely from the ground.

Efficiency

Save up to 90% of costs for a tank inspection by avoiding scaffolding and rope access costs and inspect a whole tank in just 2 hours instead of 2 days.

Data Quality

Collect precise UT spot measurements and close-up visuals to detect any corrosion or cracks and localize all your data in a 3D model of the asset.

Storage tank UT inspection

Conduct a visual and UT inspection of a storage tank in just a few hours instead of weeks with the Elios 3 UT drone. No need to enter into the asset or to work at height thanks to the drone’s remote inspection capabilities and save over $30k on scaffolding and rope-access.
