Effective field inspection tool to detect and assess corrosion under insulation (CUI) for piping systems and components (TC4)

Pain Points:

Hidden Corrosion Under Insulation (CUl) in oil & gas causes localised damage, with limited inspection tools requiring insulation removal, leading to high maintenance costs and potential catastrophic failures.

Requirements:

Need a robust, non-intrusive tool for accurate CUI detection in complex areas, enabling rapid, comprehensive screening during operation, minimising insulation removal.

Winner:

KMZ Energy Sdn Bhd's Phonon Diagnostic Technique (PDT) - a non-intrusive method using auxiliary testing and advanced data processing for rapid screening and access to complex areas during operation, minimising insulation removal.
