Larger scale Screening of pipelines with the innovative dual capability gPIMS® Corrosion Monitoring System – Guided Wave Permanently Installed Monitoring Sensors.
This recent application example highlights the value of gPIMS® Area Monitoring for the proactive integrity management of jetty lines.
An alarm was triggered by the GUL Monitoring Studio, alerting our client to the possibility of active corrosion in an inaccessible section of pipe underneath the jetty structure. Immediate follow-up inspection identified external corrosion exactly where it was predicted and at an early stage, before corrosion allowances were breached.
The risk was mitigated easily by applying a new marine coating long before it could have caused environmental damage or limited throughput of the refinery depending on the safe and efficient transfer of products.
