FlexiClean is a new, patented ROV-deployed cleaning tool that quickly removes marine growth and debris on underwater structures and equipment.  It rapidly, safely and thoroughly cleans even damage-prone surfaces  without clogging,  or performance degradation regardless of water depth.

FlexiClean is available in four versions: "Standard", "MINI", "MICRO"
​and "AXIAL"
The Standard and MINI can be supplied with "soft" or "hard" cleaning heads.

The ​FlexiClean STANDARD  is designed for a WorkClass ROV and is the fastest and most versatile cleaning tool available. Three layers of four fingers and a custom hydraulic drive unit makes this unit the tool of choice for many of the major subsea operators and contractors.
The FlexiClean MINI was developed for smaller ROV's.
The MINI cleaning head is the same diameter as the Standard, but with only one layer of fingers it requires less from the ROV and can be run on smaller HPU's.  
The FlexiClean MICROis designed to work with a significant number  of the smaller industry
​electrically-powered ROVs, regardless of power system architecture and our smart battery package effectively makes it a plug-in and play solution.
The FlexiClean AXIAL is known to its friends as "the Surprise". This odd looking tool does an amazing job reaching hard to get areas like hawse-tubes, caissons and water intakes, but has also been used for cleaning of weld seams along bilge keels where the tool is self centering over the weld.
Testimonials
"The FlexiClean continues to be the best cleaning tool we've ever
​used and I won’t mobilise a vessel without it."
Benjamin M. Duivesteyn - ExxonMobil
“FlexiClean outperforms traditional cleaning methods
and significantly reduces the time spent cleaning. 
On our latest campaign an EMAS engineer stated that it
was the best cleaning tool he had ever seen in operation.
The tool is robust and simple to use on any surface and as
such 
a statement of art within the industry. 
FlexiClean is our go-to cleaning tool
​for bulk marine-growth removal.”
-Dag Andreassen - ExxonMobil 

"FlexiClean was found to be very effective for FPSO hull cleaning
and was also the cleaning tool of choice for most of the
​inspection tasks during this years offshore campaign."
-Tim Haycock, DETNOR  Alvheim
" The tool has successfully removed heavy mussel growth
from these areas very effectively and efficiently,
and in my view is a much faster technique than
​water jetting that we have used previously" 
Mark Webster - BP Skarv

*Life-time of one cleaning-head depends on several factors: Marine-growth type, surface being cleaned, operator skill, and ROV capabilities. Shortest reported operational life of one cleaning head is 26 hours on coral and barnacle. Typically a head will last 100-200 hours on mixed marine-growth.   Please contact us for more information regarding wear and life-time.
