Dexon TechnologySupply lines keep product moving between critical areas of a facility, often weaving around equipment and existing assets through compact, complex layouts. These same characteristics can make them notoriously difficult to inspect.
Dexon’s Flexi-ILI Dolphin was purpose-built to overcome these challenges, including:
• Tight 1D U-bends
• Multi-diameter sections
• Restricted launcher access
• Complex plant and terminal layouts
Its highly flexible, bi-directional, and free-swimming design enables the Dolphin to navigate challenging geometries commonly found in jetty, tank, and plant supply lines.
Despite its compact and portable design, the system delivers high-resolution ultrasonic data through straight sections, transitions, and bends.
This supports the accurate detection and sizing of corrosion, pitting, gouging, deformation, and other integrity threats.
Just as importantly, deployment is straightforward.
The Dolphin can be inserted through a temporary flange or deployed using a direct drop-in approach.
Where required, launcher and receiver spools can be prefabricated for rapid installation during a shutdown—helping reduce hot work, site preparation, and outage duration.
For integrity teams, this means fewer barriers between a difficult pipeline and reliable inspection data.
Supply lines once considered too complex for conventional ILI can now be assessed efficiently using a deployment approach designed around real operating constraints.
