Corrosion Rate Monitoring Permanent-Automatic-Wireless

Statistics have it that Nigeria, Algeria, Angola, Libya and Sudan provide about ninety percent (90%) of the continent’s oil reserves.

About ninety percent (90%) of the upstream oil and gas facilities are located in remote areas making integrity checks and maintenance of assets difficult.

Asset integrity and preventive maintenance is key to reduce the risk of pipeline failure and maximize uptime. Predictive maintenance based on high resolution thickness data and wear rate analysis is the current best practice.

For issues of Permanent corrosion monitoring in pipelines, PIP360 provides 24 sensor UT thickness array sensors with corrosion rate analysis as a reliable technology that provides a true data-to-desk system for Asset Integrity and Maintenance departments.

- A system with 24 sensors per instrument provides high resolution data, which clearly shows the wear rates and any changes that occur in the profile.

- Wireless data collection – no manual data communication.

- Shows daily thickness changes in any metal pipe.

- Corrosion rates reported to suit customer requirements (mm/1000 hours or mpy).

- Weekly or monthly report of analysed data.

- Projected thickness based on corrosion rates (in weeks or months) optimising.

We are establishing a centre of excellence For Corrosion Rate Monitoring at Port-Harcourt office.
