ARES Robotics has a perfect safety record with
zero injuries and recordable incidents. Ares is
the leader in ROV operations in the petrochemical
industry.ARES can solve your problems and help
minimize your costs

• Introduction to ARES Robotics, LLC
• ARES is the company to create solutions to your
  material removal and/or inspection needs.
• ROVs (remotely operated vehicles) for use in the
  petrochemical industry and has become the problem
  solver in the industry in material removal,
  inspection and remote tasking.
• Ability to work in any hazardous environment,
• Ares can perform well in all types of chemicals
  and vessels including carbon steel and stainless
  steel vessels.
• Top vessel entry maintenance cleaning and sludge
  reduction is one of our specialties.
• Ares has also entered into the pipeline industry
  and has a line of vehicles for inspection and
  well as cleaning oily water and sewer lines.

• ARES ROV APPLICATIONS
• The use of an ARES ROV (Remotely Operated
  Vehicle) provides alternatives that are not
  limited by standard material removal methodology.
• In-Service Material Removal is a limitless area
  where robotics can perform the previously
  unimaginable.
• Cost benefits of a vessel remaining in service
  vs. the time and cost of removing it from service
  
• The ability to perform maintenance material
  reduction and volume restoration on a
  prescheduled basis
• Material Removal and Disposal opportunities never
  before possible without shutdown
• Internal Floating Roof Maintenance and Inspection
  without human entry of the confined space.
• Camera inspections of individual roof components
  and sealing systems
• Removal of pontoon lids and pumping of any liquid
  materials from pontoons to verify structural
  integrity
• Ability to remove fugitive material accumulated
  on internal roof due to seal burp or failure
• All functions can be easily accomplished
  regardless of tank condition and/or internal roof
  integrity
• Bulk Material Removal regardless of vessel
  conditions, integrity or internal roof height
• A single ROV is designed to replace and
  significantly outperform an entire tank cleaning
  crew
• ROVs are unaffected by Tank Conditions/Integrity,
  LEL Levels or IHDL Conditions
• Systems are fully adaptable to perform material
  removal under changing conditions
