The patented ATC Lance provides a safe, practical solution to provide initial remediation of the sludge levels in a tank. Using our unique cold-tap manway system, we are able to insert an articulating lance into the tank in order to move the accumulated bottoms away from the manway to provide an initial reduction in tank bottoms. This then allows for the drain down of the tank and the installation of the DS Jet Mixer™ to provide further bottoms recovery and remediation. All this, without any welding or other hot work on the tank.
