Mining and Mineral Processing Plants

Pulse Eddy Current (PEC) Inspection Services for Mining and Mineral Processing Plants Powered by NDT AND PWHT SOLUTIONS PVT LTD. Advanced Corrosion Detection in Harsh Industrial Environments Mining and mineral processing plants operate in some of the most aggressive environments, with constant exposure to abrasive materials, moisture, chemicals, and fluctuating temperatures. These conditions accelerate Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), especially in slurry lines, acid pipelines, pressure vessels, and storage tanks, leading to unexpected failures, safety hazards, and unplanned shutdowns.

NDT AND PWHT SOLUTIONS PVT LTD offers Pulse Eddy Current (PEC) inspection services specifically designed to assess corrosion and wall loss in insulated and coated components, without requiring insulation removal or plant downtime.

Why PEC in Mining & Mineral Processing?

Conventional inspection techniques demand labor-intensive insulation stripping, which is not feasible in highly active and hazardous plant zones. PEC allows for non-intrusive, fast, and reliable thickness measurement through insulation, coatings, and weatherproofing, enabling early detection of corrosion and minimizing plant disruption.

Applicable To:

Slurry and tailings pipelines

Acid lines and reagent distribution pipes

Steam and process piping with thermal insulation

Fireproofed structural supports and columns

Storage tanks and reaction vessels

Concentrator and smelter piping systems

Key Features of PEC Technology:

Measures wall thickness through thick insulation or coating

No surface prep, shutdown, or insulation removal required

Inspects large areas quickly, even in hard-to-access zones

Compatible with robotic or magnetic crawler systems

Operates safely in high-noise and hazardous environments

Benefits for the Mining Sector:

Reduces safety risks during inspection

Extends asset life with predictive maintenance

Cuts downtime and insulation removal costs

Supports RBI (Risk-Based Inspection) programs

Improves the reliability of critical processing infrastructure
