1 Centers of Excellence MISTRAS Group, Inc. ASSET PROTECTION SOLUTIONS ADVANCED NDT PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS & SERVICES FOR THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY MISTRAS Group is the recognized leader in delivering Advanced Proprietary Products, Systems and Services to the Oil & Gas industry. Our asset protection solutions enhance the ability of critical infrastructure to comply with safety and environmental regulations, extend their life, increase productivity, minimize repair cost, manage risk and most importantly, help avoid catastrophic disaster. Advanced products, systems and services are used extensively in the Oil & Gas industry for a high degree of reliability, which supports improved safety, drives productivity, increases process availability and helps meet regulatory compliance standards. www.mistrasgroup.com | +1.609.716.4150 | sales@mistrasgroup.com Our advanced technologies and techniques are utilized in Oil & Gas operations on the following critical assets to identify potential damage mechanisms: • Tanks • Vessels • Heat Exchangers and Condensers • Piping • Rotating Equipment Our Plant Condition Management Software, PCMS, is the engine that drives the organization of inspection data and improvements to plant inspection plans. With the addition of the PCMS Risk Based Inspection module, MISTRAS has the ability to assess your Mechanical Integrity program and offer recommendations to help you optimize your inspection spending. This optimization is based on utilizing the correct inspection technique for the type of damage associated with your fixed and rotating asset. This customized plan yields increased reliability of your assets, reduced maintenance costs, shorter turnaround schedules (based on minimizing equipment in the turnaround) and increased operating income to the facility. CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE Throughout North America and the world, we maintain Centers of Excellence (COE) in NDT inspection technologies. With the use of a sophisticated, collaborative intranet network, our inspectors and engineers employ technologies/software/hardware that their colleagues may have developed in any one of our worldwide locations.
TANKS 2 TankPAC Specific tank related damage mechanisms are: • Internal and external corrosion of roofs, floors and shells • Weld and weld heat affected zone integrity • Structural deficiencies (Settlement Surveys, Out of Roundness, Strapping) Advanced techniques used to determine the above damage mechanisms are: ACOUSTIC EMISSION TANKPAC MISTRAS utilizes a proprietary methodology for evaluating the condition of tank floors using Acoustic Emission (AE) while the tank is in service. An overall condition assessment is performed and individual areas of concern are noted to pinpoint follow up areas to inspect during a subsequent Out of Service inspection. TALRUT: ULTRASONIC TANK ANNULAR LONG RANGE INSPECTION Utilizing our proprietary LSI system, we are able to generate semi-quantitative data regarding the tank floor integrity adjacent to the shell to floor weld. This inspection technique encompasses approximately 10” into the tank floor from the exterior of the tank using an ultrasonic technique and a proprietary algorithm. The annular area of the tank is critical to the support structure, and safe operation of the tank. TALRUT www.mistrasgroup.com | +1.609.716.4150 | sales@mistrasgroup.com TIME-OF-FLIGHT-DIFFRACTION (TOFD) Ultrasonic TOFD is a rapid survey tool used to evaluate the shell and/or roof weld and weld heat affected zone looking for original fabrication type defects, or in service corrosion occurring in the heat affected zone. Follow up phased array inspection may be required in any area that exhibits potential damage discovered through the TOFD inspection. AUTOMATED ULTRASONIC LSI The ultrasonic LSI is a rapid erosion/corrosion scanning tool used for ultrasonic “drops” down the tank shell or the roof. The device is magnetically attached to the tank and operated remotely. The amount and quality of data is far superior to ultrasonic thickness readings, in that actual trending can be visualized as in the case of liquid to air interface corrosion. In the case of roof readings, the ability to attach the scanner enhances the safety of the project, as there is no need to access the roof by inspection personnel. C e n t e r s o f E xc e l l e n c e Tank Inspection LSI • Avoid opening tanks and eliminate costs associated with cleaning and waste disposal. • Increase probability of detecting corrosion using LSI high speed corrosion mapping • Enhance safety using remote crawlers on roofs.
