Vaporizing water flowing through waste heat recovery piping and saturated steam in the drum create the risk for corrosion. Corrosion can ultimately reduce the wall thickness to the point where a steam drum or water tube can no longer hold the pressure, resulting in a leak or tube burst. Because of this, it is critical to continuously monitor for corrosion, as corrosion-related boiler failures and efficiency losses can negatively impact plant efficiency, profitability, and safety.
Get ongoing visibility of corrosion and erosion trends in real-time with unique ultrasonic sensors that continuously measure pipe thickness. The WT210 Sensor system is non-intrusive and battery-powered, allowing for quick and straightforward installation. The reliable, accurate wall thickness data delivered via a WirelessHART® network from the WT210 system to the accompanying software can help you make better decisions regarding pipe maintenance and replacement.
