Better inspection data means better tank management

Stuart Kenny from Eddyfi explains the benefits of magnetic flux leakage systems for tank floor inspections Aboveground storage tanks are subject to obligatory and periodic inspection routines. Due to the harsh operating environments and the catastrophic impact of failure, storage facilities are governed by regulatory practices to ensure the assets are fit for service. This is a well-established integrity management consideration, and many non-destructive testing (NDT) service companies around the world have adopted similar methodologies for this type of inspection. There are numerous potential damage mechanisms associated with the in-service operation of tank storage, and each risk of failure requires […]
