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.
