Gas Cooler Cleaned Ready for IRIS Inspection

Bespoke unblocking and polishing heads provide 360° surface contact

A High Pressure Compressor Discharge Cooler on a North Sea platform developed leaks. To establish the extent of damage the tube bores required preparation for full Eddy Current and IRIS inspection. TubeTech™ mobilised within 48 hours and came prepared for the worst as was the client brief.

The Challenge
  • 800 tubes with unknown levels or types of fouling.
  • A guaranteed method was needed to achieve Eddy Current and IRIS inspection.
  • Client advised some tubes were leaking due to contained cross contamination.
The Solution
  • Bespoke unblocking heads cleaned and polished all tube bores ready for IRIS inspection.
  • Eddy current and IRIS inspection data provided life cycle information.
