Teledyne’s corrosion monitoring system provides true real-time information on metal loss rates, allowing operators to take corrective action in a timely manner to prevent or limit corrosion within the process. A gas test is conducted above.
Corrosion can be considered one of the offshore oil and gas industry’s worst enemies.
The cost of corrosion in the oil and gas production industry surpasses $1.3 billion each year, according to NACE International’s estimates.
Subsea technology-focused Teledyne Cormon, which specializes in corrosion monitoring equipment as well as the design and manufacture of corrosion sensors among other types, sees global spending on corrosion and erosion monitoring for the topside and subsea markets combined at more than an estimated $150 million.
Teledyne recently updated its data storage and transfer instrumentation for its ER probes to help determine metal loss caused by corrosion or erosion.The transmitters now offer direct Modbus RS485 output straight from the transmitter without the need for any post processing or conversion. The updated transmitter is especially well paired with our CEION technology, which offers unrivalled response time and probe life.Often there is a tradeoff between these two aspects of ER probe monitoring; however, with CEION we combine both, giving the customer a very fast response time without the traditional concern of a short probe life.
Key Features
Combines resolution and lifespan within one probe, eliminating the traditional trade-off with ER technology
CEION® is an evolution of the ER metal loss measurement technique, using advanced electronics to provide a signal-conditioned, calibrated output.
Data output in engineering units
Benefits
For any given metal loss rate, a considerably shorter time is needed for a CEION® sensor to detect a change than a standard ER measurement.
The faster detection rate allows users and operators to respond more quickly to increases in the metal loss rate which can reduce the total metal lost and therefore extend asset life.
This speed of response is particularly useful in the sand erosion monitoring and corrosion inhibition evaluation.
In cases where it is not possible to or useful to react quickly to changes in the metal loss rate, CEION® provides the opportunity to extend sensor life, while still providing significant increases in measurement resolution. This increased life, reduced maintenance intervention and higher resolution measurement provides exceptional value far and above conventional measuring technologies. Configurable technology allows the measurement of both erosion and corrosion from one technology platform.
CEION® probes can also be configured to meet applications where extended service life is essential, such as in subsea applications, with target lives of 20 to 50 years easily achievable with CEION® technology. Built-in calibration and temperature compensation provide a robust measuring system and increased ease of use in field.
Probes are available in an Epoxy sealed configuration suitable for applications to 150°C and 250 bar. Ceramic sealed probes are suitable to 200°C in standard configuration or 450°C in high temperature configuration.
