Biofouling
removal tool for smaller ROVs to reduce costs and save time
The electrically-powered FlexiClean Micro reduces the need for using large-scale workclass ROVs (WROVs) and the associated costs of a specialist vessel and additional manpower for biofouling cleaning tasks. The FlexiClean Micro is a ‘little brother’ to the larger FlexiClean innovation, which was launched in 2014 and is now used worldwide – most recently on a deepwater marine growth cleaning project in Brazil. The Micro has a single layer of polyurethane fingers that remove growth more efficiently than many jetting and conventional brush options.
The FlexiClean Micro delivers more cost efficient cleaning using less expensive vehicles in challenging environments. The Flexi Clean can do 95% of the cleaning projects in 5% of the time. This has been proven time and again.
The Micro can be used with smaller ROVs that can for example sit on the deck of an FPSO, and it can carry out smaller projects at a fraction of the cost of a vessel-based WROV spread. The Micro has been designed to be deployed on a wide range of smaller ROV systems. It is powered by a battery capable of running the system for useful durations without the requirement for recharging on deck, due to the inclusion of the ability to trickle charge the system from available ROV tooling power while in the water.
FlexiClean Micro is designed to work with a significant number of the smaller industry-standard electrically-powered ROVs, regardless of power system architecture and smart battery package effectively makes it a plug-in and play solution.
