Chrysalix Venture Capital announced a Seed investment in Applied Impact Robotics (AIR), a developer of a solution for the in-service inspection and maintenance of Aboveground Storage Tanks.

Applied Impact Robotics' solution is an alternative to human entry that improves safety, minimizes shutdown times and reduces costs. The robotic innovation, based on biomimicry, utilizes pneumatic vibration to navigate and operate seamlessly in a variety of sludge conditions that would normally require an offline tank cleaning prior to an inspection.
