Our MANTIS™ External Tube Crawler inspection technology utilizes proprietary sensors to inspect tubes in steam reformers as well as other critical applications. MANTIS facilitates tube inspections without the need to change out catalyst, enabling continuous remaining life assessment calculations to be completed. Coupling this technology with patent-pending reporting and modeling software, we provide immediate and accurate data enabling immediate risk-based decisions to be made.
Features
- Inspects tubes with external dimensions ranging between 3.5" (89mm) to 8.0" (203mm) OD
- Requires spacing of only 2" (51mm) between tubes
- Utilizes permeability cross-canceling technique developed for nuclear industry which is latest eddy current innovation for syngas industry
Benefits
- Detects tube deformation caused by
- Cracking
- Bulging (i.e. flame impingement)
- Swelling (i.e. creep strain)
- Manufacturing flaws
- Ovality
- Overlay inspection data with LOTIS data for direct comparison
- Does not require catalyst removal
- Proprietary 3D reports allow for improved resource management as well as operational analysis
- Performs non-contact in-situ measurements
- LifeQuest™ engineering assessment available
Applications
- Steam reformers
- Platformers and CCRs
