Predictive Corrosion Management

Mitigate Your Corrosion Risks

The future of inspections is here Today’s refineries are spending millions of dollars each year to maintain piping integrity at their facilities, including identifying and managing corrosion before it impacts plant operation.

Predictive Corrosion Management from Baker Hughes, a GE company, empowers you with the insights to:

Proactively manage corrosion risk

Make data-driven decisions

Reduce total cost of operations

Predictive Corrosion Management uses our groundbreaking package of:

Rightrax PM UT installed sensors

Predix cloud-based software

Expert services

Digitizing your inspectionsPredictive Corrosion Management from BHGE is a holistic, powerful package designed for a wide range of applications.

Upstream and downstream facilities face corrosion and erosion-related threats due to impurities in crude oil such as:

• Hydrogen sulfide

• Hydrochloric acid

• Carbon dioxide

• Water

• Solids like sand

• Chemicals used in processing

• Process conditions like pressure and temperature

Controlling the production process and limiting corrosion is crucial to addressing these issues. Which means inspectors need to monitor a higher frequency and take more precise measurements. Predictive Corrosion Management meets those needs.

Accessibility To make assets accessible for inspections, most facility operators spend millions of dollars on:

• Rope access teams

• Scaffolding

• Insulation removal

• Transportation

With permanently installed sensors as part of the Predictive Corrosion Management solution, operators can access inspection data on a regular basis for monitored assets, anytime, anywhere.

Safety in Inspections Many assets that are susceptible to corrosion are difficult for NDT technicians to reach, due to a variety of safety hazards:

• Extreme temperatures

• Highly combustible gas

• Toxic or acidic vapors

• Radiation

Oftentimes, such inspections can increase risk to your workforce. Predictive Corrosion Management’s permanently installed sensors improve the safety environment across the entire facility and reduce the total cost of inspections for hard to reach or inaccessible locations.

Permanently installed corrosion monitoring system

Predictive Corrosion Management allows you to make better decisions about monitored asset life and reliability. Installed sensors providing inspection data combined with cloud-based software providing real-time trending, robust visualizations, and out-of-the-box analytics help to manage corrosion risk and proactively make disposition decisions. The result: reduced corrosion, and the costs that go with it.

Predictive Corrosion Management

Manage and mitigate corrosion-related risk

Reduce inspection-related costs

Improve equipment performance

Improve/optimize process and operations

Improve personnel safety

Optimize chemical inhibitor program

In the production, transportation, refining, and distribution industries, problems like Flow Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) and sand erosion are difficult to diagnose and can damage equipment quickly. Why? Because corrosion is hard to find in places like:

With Predictive Corrosion Management, companies can protect their critical assets from failure and reduce hardware-related inspection costs by using a constant stream of asset-health and risk-based data, along with permanently installed corrosion monitoring sensors.

Software for the Digital Industrial world.

Predictive Corrosion Management software is powered by Predix™, GE Digital’s cloud-based platform built for the Industrial Internet. With the sensors feeding continuous data to the cloud-based software, you are able to improve the reliability of inspections, eliminate manual inconsistencies, as well as see trends and predictions that can help improve operational awareness and decision making—extending the run life of pipes across your facility. The software today provides the following capabilities:

• Geospatial analytics for simple, drill-down views of asset health where sensors are installed

• Real-time view of corrosion rates, temperature, and wall thickness

• Sensor equipment health monitoring

Expert services.

Working with your process and reliability experts and corrosion engineers, we will help you define the right solution for your application. Our services include the application assessment, site survey, deployment, configuration, installation, and setup.

Sensors that go beyond the expected.

Rightrax PM sensors operate virtually maintenance-free in the harshest environments. These permanently installed sensors can be installed in hard-to-reach areas, reducing the cost of scaffolding and rigging. Their low-profile design can be installed under insulation, reducing repeated and costly insulation removal and replacement. All of which means less manpower, and more reliable data.

• Ultrasonic wall thickness monitoring system for pipe corrosion and erosion

• Continuous monitoring of pipes, elbows, headers, even under insulation—while in service

• Proprietary SolGel ultrasonic probe technology for dry coupling

• Inherently safe, ATEX Zone-0 certified components

• Installed without couplant, adhesives or welding, virtually maintenance-free

• Remotely access data via the web
