Perform safe radiography near nucleonic control instrumentation and avoid plant shutdowns with our field-proven (TAXI)™ system.
Safely Maximize Plant Uptime
Radiation typically upsets nucleonic level control instrumentation on pressure vessels, causing ‘trips’ that result in costly plant shutdowns and increased process safety risks. The TAXI system provides a safe alternative, enabling Oceaneering’s inspectors to perform radiography on installations with nucleonic level control instrumentation.
An unacceptable number of loss of pressure containment (LOPC) incidents are due to corrosion failures in piping, typically from corrosion under insulation (CUI). Our TAXI system is field-proven and provides the optimal non-destructive testing (NDT) solution to detect corrosion and loss of integrity.
Our equipment doesn’t require plant isolation, avoids process control blind spots, maximizes plant uptime and most significantly, eliminates any risk from trips.
It is beneficial for aging assets where inspection has been deferred for many years and can be used efficiently and cost-effectively as part of routine or planned inspection campaigns.
Key benefits of the TAXI™ system
- Early detection of pipe corrosion and wall thickness loss
- No risk of unplanned process outages or shutdowns
- Mitigates equipment failure risks and LOPC
- No impact on process operations control
- Higher plant and equipment uptime
- Provides accurate assessment of CUI
