Puguang Gas Field applies new technology for the first time to detect liquid sulfur storage tanks

Sinochem News (correspondent Wei Jinghui and Xie Huakun) On December 12, the Puguang Gas Field Natural Gas Purification Plant completed the first application of new technology to conduct online inspection and RBI evaluation of 6 liquid sulfur storage tanks
.

The testing time for a single tank in this testing is only 5 days, with low investment, short cycle and quick results.
Compared with conventional testing, the cost is reduced by 50%, and the construction period is shortened by 70%.
A reliable guarantee
.

As the largest sulfur production base in China, Puguang Gas Field has 10 large-scale liquid sulfur storage tanks with a volume of 5000 cubic meters, which are responsible for receiving and storing 5000 tons of liquid sulfur per day, which is an important guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the combined equipment of the natural gas purification plant
.

In order to achieve safe, efficient and fast "short, flat and fast" detection, the factory first applied the Express-96 acoustic emission detection system, automatic wall-climbing corrosion detection equipment, high-frequency guided wave detector and other advanced equipment, through macro inspection, ultrasonic thickness measurement, Settlement observation and acoustic emission detection methods, implement RBI assessment, identify the failure mode and damage mechanism of the tank bottom plate and tank wall, analyze and calculate the existing corrosion and risk, determine the risk level of the tank, and formulate the tank maintenance plan Provide a reliable basis
