Increased plant availability
Non-intrusive inspections when your plant is online at high temperature
No confined space entries
SonoInspec can assist you with further optimising your plant availability. Senior maintenance and inspection managers of MISI-Consultancy who worked for the largest oil & gas companies in the world and who have partnered up with SonoInspec, can support with high level plant management support.

The expert team will assess the RBI output for the upcoming turnarounds against best practises in the market and their long standing field experience, combined with FFS (fitness for service) calculations in advance of the TA and if necessary during the turn-around (TA). Jointly an inspection plan with a high effectiveness, can be delivered. To optimise plant availability, the inspection scope is aimed to be executed when the plant is online and well in advance for the turn-around. This information can also be used for preventive maintenance actions.

To support NII inspections and especially NII inspections when the plant is online at high temperature, SonoInspec has developed a unique set of NDT inspection tools and inspection methods. The condition and reliability of your assets can be determined even when the assets are running at high temperatures. SonoInspec can deliver accurate and reliable weld inspections and corrosion mapping and monitoring inspections with ultrasound technology when the inspection objects are at elevated temperature. These inspections are available up to 475°C (887°F).
475°C
887°FFor weld inspections at high temperature, the TOFD and PAUT technology is available. For corrosion mapping the technology portfolio is extended with special high temperature resistant ultrasound probes/wedges for accurate wall thickness measurements.

For the assets remaining on which an NII inspection is not sufficient a robotical internal inspection can be provided, to increase your HSE performance and reduce your confined space entries. For robotical inspections SonoInspec works together with Waygate Technologies, a leading company in industrial inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions. Through this cooporation their robotical expertise is combined with the inspection expertise of SonoInspec.
The business impact of above “Plant Availability” concept is proven on more than 300 vessels on 7 Oil and Gas production installations. The intrusive inspections were reduced by 30% applying RBI. A reduction of 20% by applying NII and in 10% of the cases robotical inspections could be used to avoid human entry. HSE performance was increased, cost reduced and plant up-time increased.

Is the SonoInspec Plant Management a proven concept?
Yes, this concept has been proven on more than 20 projects at one of the largest oil majors in the world. The savings were huge!
What is unique in your plant management concept?
Currently the majority of larger clients is executing an inspection plan coming from an RBI database. Clients are also trying to go as much as possible to NII (non-intrusive inspections) to avoid confined space entries for safety reasons and to avoid confined space entries for cost reasons. Our plant management concept will optimize the inspection scope and will go one step further than all current applied inspection strategies available. We can execute your NII at high temperature when you plant is in production. The ultimate goal is to reduce the TA’s to an absolute minimum, so that plant up time is increasing significantly.
