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 | In-service stack inspection by UAV
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.
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 | 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.
BLOG | You Are What You Refine!
Having solutions that can produce wall thickness readings that are far more frequently than what traditional manual inspection can offer puts decision making capability on par with process change as demand is placed on the asset and leads to improved profitability and enhanced safety.
