CASE STUDY | Wear Monitoring of Iron Ore Crusher Hoppers
Ionix HotSense was used to provide frequent, high-quality wall thickness trends, ensuring the customer knows the hopper’s condition and remaining life. Wall loss trends help predict and schedule maintenance, reducing outages and maximizing production. Changes in wall loss rates can adjust maintenance frequency as needed. The system is installed outside the hopper, increasing safety by reducing personnel exposure to hazards like working from heights and rope access.
CASE STUDY | Automated corrosion monitoring of alkylation units
Non-invasive, corrosion trending with wireless ultrasonic probes and monitoring system to maximise throughput and run length of variable feedstocks.
CASE STUDY | On-Stream Corrosion Inspection Survey using a High Temperature UT Probe
A solution was sought by a leading inspection services term contractor for one of their clients operating a large petrochemical refinery to conduct in-service corrosion surveys across their facilities infrastructure. UT is critical to the plant’s needs and is used extensively for corrosion surveys, but the refinery includes assets with surface temperatures from 120°C to over 350 °C including gas boilers, pressure vessels and piping.
Read our latest case study that highlights why on-stream inspection requires transducers with efficient acoustic coupling, and which can reliably make high-temperature wall thickness measurements to prevent the need for unplanned shutdown and maintain productivity while reducing costs.
CASE STUDY | In-Service Gas Void Detection and Monitoring in Nuclear Energy
The ability to detect gas voids in cooling water lines was required by one of the largest electric power holding companies in the US, generating electricity from mixed sources, including 6 nuclear plants. Find out ho the Ionix solution helped.
APPLICATION INSIGHT | Optimising the Management and Maintenance of Mining Equipment
HotSense™ is a non-invasive ultrasonic wear monitoring solution born out of the extreme environments of the energy sector:
For users of critical components or linings susceptible to wear;
Who want to always know the remaining life of their assets;
So that they can shorten outages to maximise availability and reduce outage costs.
Unlike manual inspection and invasive technologies, HotSense™ provides direct wall thickness trending loss and detection of changes to predict maintenance intervals whilst plant is running.

APPLICATION INSIGHT | Optimising the Management and Maintenance of Buried Tailing Lines
Ionix EchoCorr™ is a non-invasive ultrasonic thickness monitoring system suitable for the mining, chemical and oil and gas industries to optimise the management and maintenance of buried tailing lines. Explore this Application Note for more information.
CASE STUDY | Erosion Monitoring of Buried Tailings Lines
A solution was sought to monitor erosion caused by ore tailings from a mining operation in South America. The subsequent wall-loss has the potential to cause failures and loss of containment, resulting in lost productivity, and damage to nearby population and environment.
CASE STUDY | Ultrasonic monitoring of molten salt for energy
A solution was sought by a renewable energy plant operator to monitor the thermophysical properties of molten sodium- potassium nitrate “solar salt” at temperatures exceeding 360 °C / 680 °F.
