Maintaining Efficiency, Safety & Compliance
Electromech Engineering Enterprises' skilled engineers conduct thorough Distillation Column Inspection Services to maximize equipment performance, safety, and regulatory compliance. Petrochemical, pharmaceutical, chemical, and oil & gas chemical industries have to separate chemical mixtures and clean them within a particular time interval using distillation columns. Scaling, corrosion, structural weakening, and inefficiency in distillation columns take place within a time frame. Scheduling for regular inspection should hence be carried out to avoid plant malfunction, destructive conditions, and production system downtime.
What is Distillation Column Inspection?
Distillation column inspection is a systematic examination of the mechanical, structural, and operating conditions of the column and its equipment. It is the step that detects flaws such as internal wear and tear, poor trays, blockage, leakage, and material corrosion before failure of unit operations.
Our trained experts employ the latest inspection tools to detect flaws at an early stage and maintain your equipment at the highest level with reduced downtime.
Main Distillation Column Inspection Parameters:
1. Structural & Mechanical Integrity Inspection
- Tray & Packing Inspection: Misalignment, fouling, corrosion, or damage.
- Shell & Nozzle Integrity: Crack, thinning, or stress-corrosion damage detection.
- Vessel Wall Thickness Test: Structural strength with wear readings based on time.
- Manway & Access Port Inspection: Leak confirmation, sealing, and corrosion.
2. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods
- Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UT): Internal corrosion and wall thinning detection.
- Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Hidden tube bundle and heat exchanger defect detection.
- Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT): Surface crack and material degradation detection.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT): Hidden cracks in ferrous components detection.
3. Leak & Pressure Testing
- Hydrostatic & Pneumatic Test: Verifies column strength against operating pressure.
- Vacuum Leak Test: Detects air or gas leakages affecting separation efficiency.
4. Measurement of Operational Efficiency
- Temperature & Pressure Distribution Analysis: Verifies even performance of the column.
- Flow Rate Evaluation: Verifies proper vapor and liquid distribution.
- Heat Transfer Efficiency Check: Identifies performance barriers and losses.
