Industry Challenges
Challenges facing the Chemical Industry
- Corrosion-Driven Integrity Risks: Constant exposure to aggressive chemicals accelerates corrosion in pipes, tanks, and vessels, increasing the risk of leaks, failures, and safety incidents.
- Demanding Operating Environments: Extreme temperatures and pressures contribute to rapid material degradation, threatening long-term equipment reliability.
- Restricted Access for Inspection: Equipment is often located in confined or hazardous areas, making routine inspections difficult, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous.
- High Maintenance Costs and Downtime: Corrosion-related failures result in frequent repairs, unplanned shutdowns, and increased operational costs, impacting both productivity and safety.
Applications
WAND Technology provides versatile, reliable solutions for monitoring wall thickness, corrosion, and erosion across a wide range of industries. Learn more about how this technology can provide solutions for chemical corrosion monitoring within this industry.
Application 1
Automated thickness monitoring data collection in highly hazardous areas
Inductosense’s WAND technology automates continuous thickness monitoring in hazardous areas, eliminating the need for manual inspections in unsafe environments. WAND TM Sensors provide reliable data on wall thickness and corrosion without exposing personnel to risk.
The WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) automates data collection from multiple sensors at scheduled intervals, minimising the need for physical presence in high-risk areas. Data is then transmitted wirelessly to the iDART software, where data is securely stored and accessible, enabling real-time analysis and informed decision-making.

Application 2
Localised chemical corrosion monitoring on ethylene plants
The WAND Solution enables precise, localised monitoring of high corrosion areas on ethylene plants, where aggressive conditions can accelerate asset degradation. WAND TM Sensors are placed in critical spots to provide accurate, repeatable wall thickness measurements over time.
By continuously monitoring these areas, operators can detect corrosion trends early, helping prevent costly failures and unscheduled shutdowns. Data is securely stored and analysed via the iDART software, ensuring efficient asset integrity management and informed maintenance decisions.

Application 3
Accurate corrosion rate used to monitor process control
Precise, real-time corrosion rate data is essential for monitoring and maintaining asset integrity in critical process environments. WAND TM Sensors provide accurate, repeatable measurements of wall thickness, tracking corrosion progression over time.
This data allows operators to evaluate asset health and adjust process controls as needed, reducing risks and enhancing operational efficiency. Data is stored and analysed through the iDART software, providing actionable insights to support informed decision-making and ensure safe, reliable operations.
