Significant corrosion can occur in stacks and flares due to the presence of acidic compounds in the gases, in the presence of moisture and at elevated temperatures.
A refinery operator sought to inspect their stacks, onstream at high-temperatures using aerial drone platform with a HotSense UT payload to determine fitness for service.
Read our latest case study that highlights why on-stream inspection requires robust transducers with high sensitivity and temperature resilience , and which can reliably make high-temperature wall thickness measurements to prevent the need for shutdown and maintain productivity while reducing costs.

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.

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.

Ionix high-temperature TOFD transducers, with integrated wedges, are suitable for weld inspections at continuous elevated temperatures up to 350 °C. Here, the transducers with integrated wedges are mounted on to a modified EddyFi Lyncs scanner for high-temperature encoding, with high-temperature couplant, connected to
commercially available Mantis UT set, and a carbon steel pipe weld inspected at 200 °C for weld root corrosion.
