Industry Challenges
Challenges facing Oil & Gas
- Asset Integrity and Safety Risks: Corrosion and Erosion can lead to critical wall loss, increasing the likelihood of leaks, failures, and hazardous incidents.
- Costly and Disruptive Inspections: Traditional inspection methods often require scaffolding, insulation removal, or rope access, driving up costs and causing operational delays.
- Limited Access and Detection Issues: Structures in hard-to-reach areas are difficult to inspect and monitor effectively.
- Inconsistent and Hard-to-Manage Data: Manual inspections can produce variable results, and large volumes of inspection data are often difficult to interpret and act on.

Applications
WAND Solution provides versatile, reliable solutions for monitoring wall thickness, corrosion, and erosion across a wide range of industries. Learn more about how our technology can benefit the oil and gas industry.
Application 1
Monitoring internal wall thickness, sand erosion, and various corrosion mechanisms in pipelines
Inductosense supports oil and gas corrosion monitoring in pipelines by using permanently installed, wireless WAND TM Sensors. These sensors provide accurate, repeatable ultrasonic wall thickness measurements from the same location every time, ensuring consistent and reliable data.
In remote or hard-to-access areas, the WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) enables scheduled data collection from up to 8 WAND TM Sensors. This reduces the need for manual inspections and increases efficiency.
For fully connected environments, WAND-Online offers real-time remote monitoring and centralised data access. It allows operators to track corrosion and erosion trends, respond quickly to issues, and optimise maintenance, without the need for on-site visits.

Application 2
Assessing the condition of critical infrastructure such as piping, tanks, and vessels
The WAND Solution helps operators assess the condition of critical infrastructure such as piping, tanks, and pressure vessels by providing accurate and repeatable wall thickness data.
WAND TM Sensors are permanently installed and can be embedded under insulation or coatings, enabling long-term, non-intrusive monitoring. The sensors deliver ultrasonic thickness measurements from the same location consistently, allowing operators to track changes in wall thickness due to corrosion, erosion, or other wear factors over time.
By providing accurate, frequent data, Inductosense supports proactive maintenance and timely decision-making, helping ensure the integrity and safety of critical assets while reducing downtime and inspection costs.

Application 3
Streamlining thickness measurements in elevated or hard-to-access locations
For hard-to-reach or elevated locations, the WAND Solution provides an efficient way to monitor wall thickness, eliminating the need for costly and unsafe traditional inspection methods like scaffolding or rope access.
The REACH extends the reach of the WAND Handheld Data Collector (HDC), enabling thickness measurement collection from elevated, confined, or difficult-to-access locations, while providing accurate data on-site.
Alternatively, WAND-Online enables automated, scheduled data collection from multiple sensors in remote or hazardous environments, reducing the need for manual inspections and physical access. The gateway wirelessly retrieves data and uploads it for real-time analysis, helping operators monitor asset integrity continuously without the need for on-site personnel.

Application 4
Monitoring Corrosion in high-risk and critical zones
Inductosense’s WAND Solution provides continuous, real-time thickness measurements for high-risk areas, including Risk Based Inspection (RBI) identified zones and amine systems. By offering precise monitoring of corrosion and damage mechanisms, WAND helps detect potential issues early to prevent asset failure.
In RBI-identified zones, WAND TM Sensors are installed on asset surfaces to monitor corrosion rates in critical locations, even under insulation or coatings. For amine systems, the technology enables accurate monitoring of corrosion due to aggressive chemicals, ensuring asset integrity and safety.
With the WAND Remote Data Collector (RDC) and WAND-Online, Inductosense automates data collection and provides real-time access to measurements. This approach reduces the need for manual inspections and supports informed decision-making to maintain optimal asset performance.
