A tank floor is the hardest part of an AST to inspect and the most consequential to get wrong. Smart Tank monitors bottom-side corrosion rate, cathodic protection performance, and leak detection in real time — without taking the tank out of service, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic.
Standard practice is a scheduled internal inspection every several years, with the tank offline the whole time. Smart Tank replaces the blind years in between with continuous bottom-side data.
The yellow bands mark the probe's connector joints; the ruggedized black housing at the tip is the ultrasonic sensor itself, sealed against direct burial beneath the tank. Once it's in, it stays in — no re-entry, no recalibration trips.
No maintenance access required once the probe is in place beneath the tank.
Sized for a one-person install, then permanent for the life of the tank floor.
No coring, no cutting into the floor plate to get a reading.
The same ultrasonic method used to inspect a tank floor by hand, running unattended underneath it, permanently.
The probe acquires an ultrasonic reading through a corrosion coupon representative of the floor plate.
The signal reflects back wherever corrosion or metal loss has changed the coupon's thickness.
Onboard processing converts the reflection into a corrosion rate and metal-loss reading.
Readings stream to the BSI dashboard alongside CP performance and leak-detection status.
Bottom-side corrosion rate is tracked continuously rather than estimated between inspections.
Cathodic protection at the floor is monitored on the same continuous timeline.
Flags conditions consistent with a developing leak long before a scheduled internal inspection would.
