Erosion risks are inherent in slurry lines due to the abrasive particles in the flow, which can erode pipe walls, particularly at elbows. There is also the possibility of increase wear on rotating pumps. Continuous ultrasonic thickness erosion monitoring helps track pipe wall thickness, allows you to understand whether there is significant thinning that could lead to loss of containment, thereby allowing operational teams to manage operations according to known integrity of the slurry lines, mitigating health and safety risks and unplanned outages. This technology enables operators to assess the condition of slurry lines effectively and schedule maintenance proactively, ensuring safe and reliable operations.
Get ongoing visibility of corrosion and erosion trends in real-time with unique ultrasonic sensors that continuously measure pipe thickness. The ET210 Sensor system is non-intrusive and battery-powered, allowing for quick and straightforward magnetic installation. The reliable, accurate wall thickness data delivered via a WirelessHART® network from the ET210 system to the accompanying software can help you make better decisions regarding pipe maintenance and replacement.
