The petrochemical industry faces unique challenges in maintaining critical infrastructure. Issues like corrosion, weld defects, and material degradation can pose serious safety risks and lead to costly downtime. ScanTech Instruments offers advanced ultrasonic NDT solutions designed to tackle these challenges with precision and reliability, ensuring the safety and integrity of your operations.
Corrosion, whether internal or external, is a major risk to the safety and longevity of petrochemical infrastructure. Early detection and accurate mapping of corrosion are essential to prevent failures and extend the life of vital assets such as pipelines, storage tanks, and pressure vessels.
Our advanced scanners provide detailed, real-time corrosion mapping, allowing early detection of issues in pipelines, tanks, and other critical infrastructure.
Detect and monitor corrosion beneath insulation without the need for removal, utilizing advanced ultrasonic techniques that minimize disruption and reduce inspection time.
Welds are critical to the structural integrity of petrochemical infrastructure. Ensuring the integrity of welds is vital to preventing leaks and maintaining operational efficiency. ScanTech’s phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) systems offer high-resolution imaging, allowing you to detect and evaluate weld defects with precision.
In addition, tank and vessel inspections are essential for ensuring the safety of storage tanks, pressure vessels, and other critical assets. ScanTech’s ultrasonic solutions provide thorough inspections of tank shells, roofs, and floors, helping to identify corrosion, deformation, and other defects before they lead to costly repairs or shutdowns. Paired with our real-time data analysis from Analyst software, you can make quick, informed decisions and reduce downtime.
High-Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) is a significant concern for components exposed to high temperatures and hydrogen-rich environments in petrochemical facilities. ScanTech’s ultrasonic inspection techniques are designed to detect early signs of HTHA, enabling you to address potential failures before they occur.
