Protect critical assets for safety and process reliability.
Amine treatment unit operators often face corrosion challenges due to carbonic acid attack. Corrosion can lead to loss of containment, health and safety incidents, and loss of revenue due to asset failure. Manual inspection techniques lack granularity and traditional intrusive corrosion monitoring can cause asymmetrical flow conditions and flow obstacles which may increase turbulence in the high velocity vapor flow and accelerate erosion rates further downstream. Operators can benefit from using an accurate non-intrusive monitoring solution, such as Emerson’s RosemountTM Wireless Corrosion and Erosion Transmitters, that can quickly identify thinning metal surfaces. These transmitters remove the need for manual inspections by providing real-time asset integrity data, allowing operators to improve their planned maintenance procedures, avoid unplanned downtime, and improve operational safety.
