We are proud to announce that AIS Field has successfully completed 15 RUVI OilDiver online tank inspections at Sarlux Refinery in Sarroch, Sardegna, Italy. This large-scale project marks another important milestone in our international operations and demonstrates the growing adoption of robotic in-service inspection technologies in the energy sector.

The project scope included inspections of fixed-roof and external floating-roof tanks, covering a variety of petroleum products such as diesel, kerosene, gasoline, naphtha and jet fuel. Our team also carried out side-manhole entries to perform in-service inspections on internal floating-roof tanks, allowing for a complete assessment of tank integrity without the need for draining or taking assets fully out of operation.

Using our ATEX-certified RUVI OilDiver system, the inspections were conducted in full compliance with API 653 and API 575 standards. The system’s ultrasonic corrosion-mapping capability, coupled with on-board visual inspection cameras, enabled precise data collection while ensuring maximum safety and efficiency. By eliminating downtime, the refinery was able to maintain operational continuity while achieving detailed insight into the condition of its storage assets.

This collaboration was a truly rewarding experience for our entire team. We extend our sincere gratitude to Sarlux Refinery and Condomett for their warm hospitality, professionalism and strong technical support throughout the project. Partnerships like these drive the continued evolution of inspection technologies and reinforce our mission to deliver safer and smarter asset-integrity solutions worldwide.

We look forward to returning to Sardegna in early 2026 to continue our collaboration and further expand the boundaries of in-service inspection robotics.

Stay tuned for more updates as AIS Field continues to innovate, deploy, and grow across global markets.
