Petrochemical Plant Thermal Surveys

Globally, the oil and gas industry relies heavily on the use of thermal imaging to ensure the safety and efficiency of the equipment. Thermal cameras can detect damaging and costly natural gas leaks, for example. Use of thermography in petrochemical plants is frequently used to help save time and prevent the hold up of production. Thermal surveys are, perhaps, no more important than in this industry; often, operations are ongoing 24/7 and any downtime can be costly.

Thermal Imaging Can Help With:

Leakage

Thermal surveys are able to detect leaks on pipework and components across the plant, which helps to keep manufacturing moving whilst keeping everyone safe at the same time.

Holes in Pipes

Thermography can detect holes in pipes through temperature differentiation before the pipe causes damage to the production process.

Pumps

Infrared thermography can identify how pumps are working, ensuring they don’t overheat and cause damage.

Motor Defects

Thermal imaging can identify low resistance through temperature readings, which helps the motor keep working to its full potential without affecting plant production or employees.

The Importance of a Thermal Imaging Petrochemical Survey

Petrochemical thermographic surveys assist in the production of predictive maintenance schedules for your plant equipment. Especially in this industry, detecting an issue before equipment failure is extremely valuable as it can save costs on equipment repair and on equipment downtime, as well as identify energy savings for your industry.

Thermography is one of the only procedures that can identify faults in petrochemical plants safely and efficiently. Due to using high-definition equipment, our engineers are able to see detailed pictures of plant equipment without having to affect the production status. We can check all elements of your plant, from pipes, equipment, cables and the insulation properties of hazardous storage containers.
