Piping Inspection for Manfacturing
A reliable supply of water and an uninterrupted means of disposing of wastewater are critical to operations in manufacturing plants. Maintaining the integrity of piping infrastructure in a manufacturing plant is key to minimizing any unplanned outages.
Leak Detection
Pipelines are designed to be water tight; even the smallest leak is a clear indication of a structural defect. Going undetected potentially wastes millions of gallons of water or untreated wastewater, causing damage to underground infrastructure and resulting in public safety issues and production downtime.
The Sahara® leak location system was designed to locate leaks with pinpoint precision. The system uses a tether-controlled sensor that is passed through a pipeline, giving plants the opportunity to prevent leaks from becoming breaks and saving lost water in the process. Because this can be done while the pipeline is in service, there is no disruption to distribution.
Condition Assessment
Even though existing piping infrastructure may appear to be structurally sound, proactive condition assessment at an early stage can avoid costly future problems resulting in production downtime, damage to the plant, and potential danger to plant employees.
Proactive pipeline condition assessment programs are now at the heart of many industrial long-term maintenance programs – for new and existing lines. Plant managers and operators are working to preserve their infrastructure and are understanding and utilizing the benefits of condition assessment and leak detection technologies to assess the condition of pipelines and take the proper precautions in repairing any flaws.
