Lamella sedimentation tanks are more efficient than conventional sedimentation tanks in treating sewage water because of their low footprint and high efficiency by the inclusion of inclined plates. However, regular cleaning is required for maintaining the efficiency of preventing clogging resulting from sludge accumulation. As the task is repetitive and dangerous, human cleaning is less preferable while no automatic solution is ready in the market. As a result, an automated solution is developed using a Cable Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) to carry cleaning tools within the tank, due to its advantages of large workspace capability and simple mechanical set-up. In this paper, we introduce the application of lamella tank cleaning using CDPR, including the robot design, setup, operation and cleaning results. The development and results show the potential and maturity of using the developed CDPR system for real-world and longer-term uses.
