Online Robotic Sludge Removal and Processing
Features & Advantages
- Online cleaning operation: Cleaning is performed online, eliminating the need for shutdown, isolation, or drainage of pits, lagoons, basins, tanks, etc.
- Remote Operation: The system can be operated remotely, removing the need for personnel entry during the entire cleaning process.
- Mobile sludge treatment: Enables sludge removal followed by processing to recover liquids and produce a dry solid cake.

Types of Sureflo Robots: Floating Type (UR-DS)
- The first of its kind in India, an unmanned remote-controlled dredge system.
- Capable of desilting/desludging up to 20 meters in depth.
- Electrically operated, making it cheaper than conventional diesel-powered dredges.
- Capacity: 150 m³/hr and above.
- Applications include reservoirs, ponds, jetty, channels, etc.
The image describes the features of the Amphibious Sureflo Robot (SAR)
- Enhanced dynamic buoyancy control allows it to float on top of a lagoon, sink to the bottom, or stay submerged at various depths, enabling sludge removal from different depths of the lagoon.
- Can adjust the operating depth of the integrated cutter-pump mechanism to remove sludge and silt up to 20 meters deep.
- Capable of pumping sludge up to 150 m³/hr, allowing faster cleaning of lagoons.
- Equipped with sludge detectors and cameras.
- External winches and cables are not required because the SAR has a built-in traction system.
- Suitable for lagoons with liners and floating roofs.
- Ideal for oil spill response; other applications include sludge removal from ponds, basins, pits, and lagoons.
- Satellite remote control option available for operation within a 500-meter range.
Mobile Sludge Processing Plants
- Sureflo has an in-house manufacturing setup for decanter centrifuges, screw presses, and other equipment needed for sludge processing.
- The sludge processing unit can recover liquids such as oil, water, acids, and solvents trapped in the sludge.
- The sludge processing unit reduces the handling volume of sludge by forming a dry, compacted cake.
