Asset Maintenance, Monitoring, and Corrosion Mapping

Asset Maintenance, Monitoring, and Corrosion Mapping

Maintaining aging plants and industrial equipment presents many challenges. For instance, an old part’s material records might be unavailable in an aging plant. Yet, operators busy with plant maintenance can’t afford to perform positive material identification (PMI) on old parts—the additional shutdowns will lead to lost revenue.

Industrial equipment is also prone to corrosion damage due to harsh operating and environmental conditions. Unmonitored, corrosion can lead to catastrophic failures and accidents, so it is critical to identify the cause, extent, and type of corrosion/scaling. Volumetric NDT inspection methods like ultrasonics are widely used but can be time consuming and underestimate remaining thickness due to data collection limitations.

This webinar explores how to overcome these asset integrity challenges with different inspection techniques. Learn:

  • The advantages of performing retro-PMI with the Vanta™ handheld XRF analyzer
  • How portable XRD can improve inspection workflows for corrosion/scaling
  • How to perform corrosion mapping with PAUT solutions: from manual to automated scanners

Vincent graduated from the University of Western Australia with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He started his career as an inorganic engineer, specializing in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), high-definition X-ray fluorescence (HDXRF), atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. In 2015, Vincent joined Olympus to develop the regional business. He is also responsible for regional application support, including distributor training and solving and developing new applications.

Sr. Product Manager, NDT Solutions, APAC

Dennis Chai has over 19 years of nondestructive testing (NDT) experience. This includes eight years working as an inspector in the oil and gas, construction, and maintenance industries using ultrasonic testing (UT), eddy current testing (ECT), and magnetic flux leakage (MFL) techniques and advanced methods such as phased array (PA) and time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD). For the last nine years, Dennis has been working on the development, deployment, and support of leading-edge NDT products and solutions in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Recently, he has been heavily involved in the design of novel inspection solutions for austenitic welds, full matrix capture (FMC)/total focusing method (TFM)/phase coherence imaging (PCI) applications, and corrosion inspections in components with complex geometry.
