CorrosionRADAR’s Monitoring Solution Selected to Support Dow’s Alberta Project
CorrosionRADAR’s data-led corrosion under insulation (CUI) monitoring solution has been selected to help protect critical insulated assets at Dow’s project in Fort...
Summary
The customer, a major energy producer based in Abu Dhabi, has a De-Ethaniser column.
Maintaining the asset was difficult and expensive, always requiring scaffolding. CR:LR systems were installed on the De-Ethaniser column for CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation) inspections, covering critical areas that had a history of CUI. The CUI risk analytics dashboard, CR:CLARITY, enabled the inspection engineer to make data-driven inspection decisions on locations and frequency.
Challenge
The site has a De-Ethaniser column with a history of CUI. This is common in gas processing plants due to sweating service under cold-duty insulation with vapour-seal.
It was extremely difficult and expensive to inspect due to its inaccessible location (over 30 meters high) and required scaffolding. The inspection engineer asked CorrosionRADAR to install its corrosion and moisture monitoring systems to enable them to reduce the cost of scaffolding for inspections.
Solution
CR:CLARITY enabled data-driven inspection decisions on locations and frequency
Implementation
- The CR:LR systems were deployed in a helical configuration, covering critical areas of the column with sweating service and vapour-sealed insulation.
- The asset on which the systems were installed had a particular section with a history of CUI issues due to its surface temperature being below the dew point and having a complex geometrical shape.
Outcome
- After the installation of the CR:LR system, the site inspection engineer may not require scaffolding unless monitoring suggests there is a likelihood of CUI.
- Their decisions on asset management are now informed and cost-effective, offering improved safety to personnel.
