Advanced asset integrity solutions, including HotSense probes and wireless CALIPERAY nodes, ensure safe operation of high-pressure steam lines in a power plant. These technologies offer precise, real-time monitoring at temperatures up to 600 °C, reducing inspection costs, enhancing safety, and minimizing operational disruptions. The system also detects wall loss and issues like leaking valves, providing confidence in asset performance without the need for frequent shutdowns.

CASE STUDY | Wear Monitoring of Iron Ore Crusher Hoppers

HotSense, Mining, Monitoring, Monitoring case study, News Hoppers, HotSense, Ionix, Mining, Monitoring, Wear

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.

TECHNICAL NOTE | High temperature acoustic emission transducer – pencil break test

Monitoring, News, OEM Case Study acoustic emission, condition monitoring, HotSense, OEM

This technical note explores the suitability of Ionix’s HotSense platform for acoustic emission ( AE ) transducers for such applications, without the need for waveguides or IEPE electronics due to its high sensitivity across a wide temperature range, by the application of a standard pencil break test conducted at 350 °C. The outcomes demonstrate that the HotSense AE transducer exhibits outstanding sensitivity at this temperature, maintaining a performance level similar to that at room temperature.

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.

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. Find out more in this latest case study.
