Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus for a tank inspection vehicle and a tether management system (TMS) are disclosed. The tank inspection vehicle is connected to the TMS via a negatively buoyant tether. The TMS is also connected to a power source external to a tank via a power and communications cable. The TMS selectively connects the vehicle to the power source via the tether and the power and communications cable. The TMS may include a frame, a float, a reel, a reel mechanism, a float switch, one or more sensors, and a control unit having one or more processors communicable with one or more memories. The TMS is configured to reel or unreel the tether in response to the movement of the vehicle and provide power to the vehicle when the TMS, vehicle, and the components thereof are submerged in a flammable fluid.
