INdustries and applications

The Inductosense WAND technology is a simple, cost-effective and scalable solution for accurately monitoring wall thickness. Our technology is currently utilised across a range of industries including oil & gas, chemical, mining, renewables and nuclear. The unique advantages of WAND also enable us to work with OEMs to integrate our technology into products at point of manufacture.

Oil & Gas Upstream

The cost of enabling inspection is significant on offshore assets, WAND reduces costs associated with transportation of skilled inspectors, scaffolding, rope access, and removal of insulation or coatings.

The WAND system provides operators with valuable insights about the integrity of their  asset, the accurate and repeatable data allows them to make more informed decisions.

By providing accurate corrosion rates, the WAND sensors help to avoid costly failures, reduce downtime, and maximises asset performance.

Applications include:

Measuring internal wall thickness of pipelines.

Monitoring sand erosion in pipelines.

Monitoring the condition of critical infrastructure.

W

Oil & Gas Downstream

The ultra-thin WAND sensors are quickly installed under insulation and provide an accessible thickness measurement point in high risk and challenging locations.

The availability of data, online, optimises the maintenance scheduling to provide more cost-effective asset integrity management across a site and an organisation.

Applications include:

Automated thickness monitoring points at height on piping, tanks and vessels.

Localised monitoring of high corrosion areas as defined by RBI corrosion lines

Suitable for monitoring most corrosion mechanisms (i.e. Sweet, sour, flow-assisted corrosion etc)

Amine system asset integrity monitoring.

Monitoring sweet, sour, flow-assisted corrosion.

W

Chemical

Deployment of WAND and data collectors supports specialty chemical processing to provide optimum product output, minimise downtime and the costs associated with productivity loss.

The WAND technology series provides the availability of data, online to manage asset integrity while reducing the personnel exposure to hazardous environments.

Applications include:

Automated thickness monitoring points collection in highly hazardous areas.

Localised monitoring of high corrosion areas on ethylene plants.

Accurate corrosion rate used to monitor process control.

W

Nuclear

Deployment of the WAND technology maximises safety and minimises the risk of personnel exposure to radiation environments by providing real-time remote data collection.

Regular, easy to capture data collection ensures the infrastructure  is maintained and mitigates the possible risk of piping leakage.

Applications include:

Localised monitoring of high corrosion areas in cooling systems.

Automated thickness monitoring at high radiation exposure locations.

Piping, tubing and storage tank asset integrity monitoring.

W

Mining

The WAND sensors can be integrated within mining equipment, enabling predictive maintenance, improving safety and monitor the lifespan of mining equipment.

The easy to collect, accurate thickness monitoring data ensures that equipment performance can be monitored and replacements made available intime to minimise any processing downtime.

Applications include:

Localising monitoring of high erosion areas in mining machining and processing equipment.

Monitoring areas subject to high erosion rates that are inaccessible using conventional monitoring equipment.

Digitalisation of mining equipment to manage the supply chain.

W

Vessels

The WAND solutions allow customers to access hard to reach locations at point of manufacture, such as FPSO storage tanks, therefore removing need for personnel to enter confined spaces to acquire thickness measurements.

Applications include:

Automated thickness monitoring for in-tank applications.

Confined spaces and other in-accessible locations.

Topside pipes and vessels.

FPSO storage tank monitoring.

W

Renewables

The WAND sensors can be used to monitor for corrosion and erosion on a range of structures such as wind turbines, carbon capture and storage facilities and hydrogen infrastructure

Applications include:

Monitoring of corrosion in offshore wind-turbine monopiles.

Monitoring internal corrosion in pipework used in carbon capture and storage.

Monitoring for defects in hydrogen vessels.
