Distilleries are production facilities. From CCTV surveys of feed and drainage pipework, through IRIS and Eddy Current surveys of heat exchangers and condensers, PEC surveys of insulated pipework, and EMUUA Standard Tank inspections, complimented by Optical Gas imaging surveys for Ethanol leaks, asset owners gain valuable information to maintain the efficiency of operation.
Our surveys find and identify the source of any vapour leak which can be quickly rectified, often with minimal interruption, providing an immediate and positive impact on production output. Without a vapour survey and intervention, these costly vapour leaks can often go undetected for months or even years.
Regular inspections utilising our Optical Gas Imaging cameras, we are able to identify where Ethanol is emitting into the atmosphere, which equates to a production loss for the distillery. Additionally, asset owners have to comply with Environmental and HSE regulations and our technologies and services can ensure your compliance.
Thermal imaging cameras have a wide range of applications. Thermal imaging cameras can be used to identify a number of property issues, such as problems with thermal insulation or electrical hazards that can cause a production facility to become less energy efficient.
Like tank inspections, we have the capability to inspect vessels both off and on line. Often the decision on how the inspection is performed comes down to working with our clients to understand the product or process being undertaken and then deciding what is viable inspection method.
Pipework provides the arteries of any plant or vessel and our Remote Visual inspection services utilising a vast range of endoscopes, borescopes, CCTV and thermography to ascertain the condition of these subjects. Our teams can also deploy cleaning equipment to remove debris or foreign objects. Our NDT technicians can undertake a range of basic NDT methods to check welds and for wall loss on bends.
Condensers and heat exchangers are widely used in the distilling industry and our Eddy Current and IRIS inspections can be used to detect flaws or measure material thickness of the tubes. Such surveys allow the managers to plan for replacement before failure and the inevitable disruption that would cause.
