Petromaster will be exhibiting in JUBCOR 2024 and shall be introducing innovative technologies for
combating, inspecting and monitoring corrosion in Metallic and Non-metallic Assets. Moreover, Mr. Awais Manzoor (Sr. Materials Engineer) will be speaking on “An Integrated Approach for Fitness-forService and Life Management of Non-Metallic (FRP/GRP) Assets in Industrial Plants”. Presentation Abstract
This presentation will discuss the development of non-intrusive UltraAnalyticsR technology for condition and fitness for service assessments of polymer composites. The paper highlights the corrosion mechanisms which affect the reliability and serviceability of non-metallic assets particularly installed in oil & gas and petrochemical industry. A brief background and historical development of non-destructive inspection technologies for FRP/GRP assets is discussed and a technical comparison is drawn between UltraAnalyticsR and other existing technologies. The is followed by scientific principles and approach for fitness for service assessment by UltraAnalyticsR technology and many real-time case studies for life assessment of GRP storage tanks, piping and auxiliary equipments are presented. Moreover, inspection results and damage modes are correlated
with laboratory-based findings for a few of the In-house failure analysis of GRP components. The paper is concluded by listing a few of notable advantages and limitations of Ultra Analytics technology.
