Vac-Tech finds safer, swifter ways to clean industrial tanks

REMOVAL of hazardous waste from large industrial tanks is no easy feat, but Singaporean company Vac-Tech Engineering (VTE) is making this safer and more productive by using robots and improving its workflow.

This is with help from Enterprise Singapore (ESG) to defray associated costs, as well as to get in touch with technology partners, said VTE's general manager Jimmy Chooi. The firm has also gained from other ESG-related schemes, from going green to leadership development.

Industrial tanks are found in industries such as oil and gas, specialised chemical, and even in some areas of medical manufacturing.
