Manual, automated, or semi-automated articulating arm programmable tank cleaning nozzle systems, devices and methods for providing safe and efficient methods for removing paint, rust, scale, debris, and contaminants as well as methods to apply new coatings to tanks. A hydraulically controlled articulating arm can have up to 11 or more degrees of freedom and a working envelope ranging from approximately 10′×approximately 10′×approximately 10′ up to approximately 50′×approximately 50′×approximately 50′. Modularity and light weight components allow quick setup with minimal manpower, and therefore, make relocation in confined tanks feasible. Simplified programming with scanning methods can aide in quick generation of toolpaths. Dust free blasting techniques can be employed, making the operation safer, cleaner, and more efficient. Surface coatings can be applied with the same device further increasing efficiencies. The systems, devices and methods can work in the presence of flammable vapors and dust.
