PROCESS PIPING & VALVES

Maverick started inspecting process piping & valves in 1994 with our first video scopes and robotic crawler systems. We have continued to bring together new technology with industry’s needs, and now offer CSA rated explosion-proof systems, measurement software, custom delivery platforms, and more.

Process Piping & Valves Video Gallery

Condensate Steam Line

This image shows steam escaping from an elbow that has completely corroded away. A zoom camera was lowered into the vault to inspect the steam condensate piping. These types of inspections are used by integrity and engineering groups for determining repair priorities prior to shutdowns and turnarounds.

Cooling Water - Foreign Material

The image shows various kinds of debris inside a cooling water line. The next step was removal of the foreign objects with a claw mounted on a robotic video crawler.

Process Piping Check Valve

Robotic crawlers are able to inspect piping, valves, and other features even if there is standing liquids or build-up in the piping. Powerful wheeled or tracked carriage systems crawl over and through most material. The reflection from the crawler lighting is evident in the distance.

Valve Tie-in with Internal Corrosion

This image shows corrosion in process piping at a valve tie-in. Using non-contact measurement software, Maverick is able to provide size measurements of features such as pitting.

Steam Condensate Piping - Corrosion

A small diameter video scope was used to look down a vertical section of a condensate line. The welded section of the pipe exhibited significant corrosion and required the attention of facility integrity personnel.

Coke Build-up in Cracker

This is an example of hard coke deposits restricting a line. Maverick uses camera systems to identify areas requiring cleaning and works with contractors and plant personnel to verify the effectiveness of cleaning procedures.

Check Valve

Video inspection tools excel at confirming the operation of plant equipment. This image shows the check valve operating properly and in the closed position.

Waste Disposal Line

Maverick has a wide range of pipe cameras for different applications. In addition to water proof or explosion proof capabilities, features such as distance counters, lighting controls, and image adjustments are useful for locating and recording conditions. Damaged coating can be seen on the roof of the pipe 38 ft from the insertion point.

Fouled Process Piping

A small video scope was used to locate this fouling inside a petro-chemical reactor line. Maverick can quickly record the general condition of piping and equipment internals. Clients use this data to determine cleaning priorities and procedures.

Sulphur Blower / Transfer Line

This video shows a check valve in the closed position. There appears to be a slight seal defect.
There are also signs of sulphur contamination in the line due to moisture in the system.

Well Disposal Line

Low PH water and other waste from gas fields need to be transferred by pipelines to storage facilities. The piping to transfer these liquids is internally coated with an epoxy paint which is designed for corrosive products. As with any paint coverings, they eventually dis-bond, peel, crack or blister. In this video, the riser section of the line is showing all of these characteristics of deterioration from years in production.

Check Valve Inspection

Video inspection tools can quickly scout to confirm if components are intact and in place. In this short video, the inspection was carried out to verify the position of the check valve.
