Acoustic Emission Technology

Acoustic emission (AE) testing (AET) is an effective, nondestructive testing (NDT) method which is widely used throughout the petrochemical industry. It especially plays an important role in inspecting of atmospheric storage tank floor corrosion, oil and gas pipeline leakage and pressure vessel cracking. The AET methods and evaluation of storage tank, pipeline, sphere and other equipment in oil and gas storage and transportation system are reviewed in this paper, and the development trends of AE technique also be introduced. This technique has important significance in ensuring the security.

Service Inspection

It is difficult to inspect a tank floor when tank is in service. The conventional inspection of a tank floor after it is opened and cleaned is time-consuming and is a high cost. So the in-service inspection of above-ground storage tank floors with Acoustic Emission (AE) technique is accepted by petrochemical industry more and more. Until now more than 70 tanks have been inspected with AE technology in PetroChina Pipeline Company. In this paper our method is introduced and the influencing factors for AE testing are discussed. The reliability of AE testing is mainly concerned by comparing the results of AE testing with the one of conventional nondestructive testing (NDT). The study concluded that the AE inspection is a useful and economic tool for prioritizing the tank maintenance.

Storage tanks are widely used in the oil refinery and petrochemical industry in storing a multitude of different products ranging from gases, liquids, solids, and mixtures. Design and safety concerns have become a priority due to tank failures causing environment pollution as well as fires and explosions, which can result in injuries and fatalities. The chapter illustrates different types of crude oil and oil product storage tanks as well as the risks regarding the storage itself. Considering that the natural gas, in its gaseous state, is stored in underground storages like oil and gas depleted reservoirs, aquifers or salt caverns, and there are numerous publications and books covering the subject in detail, this chapter only illustrates the storage of liquefied natural gas and the risks posed by its storage.

Location Methods

The corrosion acoustic emission (AE) source location is one of the main purposes of acoustic emission testing (AET), corrosion detection and location can guarantee the safety and integrity of pipeline, storage tank and other equipment in the petrochemical industry. The computed source location and zonal location methods are reviewed in this paper, and also new source location method based on modal acoustic emission (MAE) is introduced and this new method will be more widely used in the field of corrosion detection in future.

According to the characteristics of the storage and transportation working functions in large oil and gas storage tank areas, based on the analysis of equipments leakages, fires, explosion and other disaster scenes and accidents evolution model in the tank areas, the effect factors of the tanks area fire risk were studied. Combined with the analysis of key equipments and process fittings failure probabilities and tank fire-fighting equipments effectiveness, the fire and explosion accidents forecast analysis methods based on the dynamic monitoring technology were put forward. Through the analysis of the critical temperature, pressure, liquid level, gas concentration and other state parameters of the oil and gas storage tank equipments failure, using the advanced information technologies (GIS geographic information system, RS remote sensing and telemetry systems, etc.) and remote singles monitor technologies, the status parameters of dangerous materials and process equipments can be carried out with real time measurement and monitoring.

Composite Pipes

The goal of this experimental study is to manufacture a bolted GFRP flange connection for composite pipes with high strength and performance. A mould was designed and manufactured, which ensures the quality of the composite materials and controls its surface grade. Based on the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section X, this GFRP flange was fabricated using biaxial glass fibre braid and polyester resin in a vacuum infusion process. In addition, many experiments were carried out using another mould made of glass to solve process-related issues. Moreover, an investigation was conducted to compare the drilling of the GFRP flange using two types of tools; an Erbauer diamond tile drill bit and a Brad & Spur K10 drill. Six GFRP flanges were manufactured to reach the final product with acceptable quality and performance. The flange was adhesively bonded to a composite pipe after chamfering the end of the pipe. Another type of commercially-available composite flange was used to close the other end of the pipe. Finally, blind flanges were used to close both ends, making the pressure vessel that will be tested under the range of the bolt load and internal pressure.
