Eddyfi Technologies’ advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions allow engineers and inspectors to safely and reliably evaluate the conditions in some of the most challenging environments found in oil, gas and petrochemical plants.

When Benjamin Franklin coined the phrase “time is money” he wasn’t talking about the oil & gas business — but it applies to the modern industry. When a pipe, pressure vessel or storage tank has a failure, it can be catastrophic in both productivity and safety.
Eddyfi Technologies has emerged as a leading solutions provider for the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry. Whether NDT is needed during planned shutdowns or during emergency callouts, the reliability of the tools and the efficiency they provide are imperative.
Eddyfi Technologies’ equipment and solutions are the key to successful prevention through routine checks in turnaround season, maintenance processes and safety plans.
Typical applications include:
- Corrosion mapping with phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT)
- Corrosion under insulation (CUI) and Fireproofing (CUF) with Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) or Long-Range UT (LRUT)
- Inspection of heat exchangers, including fin-fan air coolers
- Pitting, cracking, corrosion and other defects in HX tubing
- ACFM enables fast crack detection and sizing in both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic components within process plants, even through coatings and at temperatures up to 500°C (932F).
- Corrosion of shells for both insulated and high temperature applications
- Detection of surface cracks in critical welds with Tangential Eddy Current Array (TECA™)
- Remote visual inspection (RVI) of pipelines, ducting, vessels
- Assessment of Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs)
- Tank floor inspection with Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- Shell inspection with robotic UT systems
- Roof inspections (including insulated roofs)
- Foreign object search and retrieval (FOSAR)
- Remote, non-intrusive continuous monitoring of ID corrosion and erosion
- Upstream Monitoring: Tracking sand erosion on elbows with multi-point monitoring and using wireless monitoring for efficient process control.
- Midstream Oversight: Implementing multi-point and area monitors for continuous assessment of both aboveground and buried pipelines.
- Downstream Analysis & Control: Monitoring corrosion, optimizing processes, ensuring asset compliance, verifying chemical inhibitor effectiveness, and collecting data from challenging or hazardous areas without human intervention.
