Phase Array Ultrasound (PAUT) in corrosion control of minor pipelines

Author: Ing. Carlos Alvarez, 06 March 2024.
Corrosion control is a problem in industries, especially in sectors that depend on pipelines for the transport of fluids such as oil, gas and water, such as the petroleum, petrochemical and nuclear sectors. Internal corrosion of pipelines, if not properly controlled, can lead to catastrophic failures, environmental damage, loss of life and large financial losses.

Compressors: The core of oil production

Author: Analyst. José López, 01 March 2024.
A compressor is a device capable of increasing the pressure of a compressible fluid while reducing its volume. They are important components in the petroleum industry, playing a key role in the production, processing and transportation of natural gas through a variety of equipment, including pipelines, valves, separators and filters, by providing the necessary pressure and flow. Driving efficiency and profitability throughout the hydrocarbon supply chain.
