Dexon’s Head of UT Innovation, Levi Porter, was interviewed in the latest issue of World Pipelines, exploring what is next for in-line inspection. 

The interview addresses one of the industry industry’s most pressing challenges: preparing for large-scale hydrogen and CO₂ transport. 

Key takeaways: 

  • UT is essential for hydrogen pipelines due to its unmatched crack detection and sizing capabilities. 

  • As green energy infrastructure grows, both UT and MFL must become faster and more cost-effective to meet rising global demand. 

  • Levi outlines the trade-offs between UT (high-accuracy, high-complexity) and MFL (cost-effective, less precise) and the roles of each in the future energy landscape. 

  • He highlights the growing importance of crack tip diffraction technology and advanced data analysis in pushing the limits of accuracy.
