Underground Tanks Tightness Testing

Reducing your energy costs is a difficult challenge faced by many industries in today’s economy. But, it doesn’t have to be. Undetected air or steam leaks, bearing failures and electrical panel faults cost you real money. There’s a way to cut these extra expenses from your energy bill. Preserve the health of your assets with the SDT200 ultrasound detector. Hear air leaks, trend and monitor the condition of your bearings, safely inspect electrical panels and schedule repairs on your own terms, long before they shut you down – all with ultrasound technology.

Downtime is a constant threat to your assets It’s a fact: All machines can fail. You need a solution that helps predict those failures early. Schedule your maintenance tasks on your terms. Let SDT help you take back control of your assets. Whether it’s in the form of equipment failures, unplanned production downtime or costly, last-minute repairs, you need a device that helps you maximize uptime, minimize costs and maintain control of your assets. The SDT270 ultrasound detector provides greater insight into the health of your assets. It helps you control energy costs, predict failures, improve product quality and increase overall production uptime. With your SDT ultrasound solution, you have the ability to predict and prevent failures before they occur. Stop relying on the reactive, fire-fighting maintenance measures of the past and start a proactive approach.

Non-rotating asset components seldom receive the routine surveillance they need Hydraulic systems represent another way industry converts electricity to mechanical energy. A pump, normally powered by an electric motor, moves hydraulic fluid through a system. The system is typically made up of a reservoir to hold the hydraulic fluid, high pressure lines to carry the fluid, control valves that ensure the fluid is sent where needed, relief valves for safety, and cylinders to produce mechanical energy. The pump and motor receive attention while the balance of the system is run-to-failure. Ultrasound testing could change this lackadaisical approach; especially considering its versatility, ease of use, and applicability to most hydraulic defects. External and Internal Leaks External leaks can often be found by visual inspection. Some external leaks, like a ruptured hose or fitting, are easy to spot. Simply follow the trail of spilled oil. Others are not so obvious.

Keep Your Steam Clean, Safe And Energy-Efficient Steam is an essential resource is many industrial processes. As a result most facilities have a vast network of piping, valves, flanges and steam traps. Within these systems there exists constant flow and turbulence. As pure steam travels from your boilers to their point of use, some cooling is inevitable. The result is accumulated condensate and gases. Steam traps purge this waste and keep your system pure. A fully-functional steam trap opens, closes or modulates automatically. It discharges condensate once formed, unless the heat from the condensate can be used. It is energy-efficient and does not waste quality steam. It removes impurities from the live steam, and maintains purity and efficiency throughout the system. Steam Trap Failure Causes Losses to Product Quality, Safety and Energy Loss Steam traps are necessary for the overall efficiency of heat energy transfer.
