Heat Exchanger Inspection Completed for Major Thai Oil Producer

Dexon Technology just wrapped up another inspection for one of Thailand’s leading oil producers.  

This time, our inspection teams were looking after the backbone of every refinery: heat exchangers. 

Our goal was to: 

  • Maximize uptime 

  • Minimize risk 

  • Extend lifespan  

All while upholding safety standards. 

Armed with high-end tools and engineers, our crew deployed an arsenal of advanced NDT techniques: 

  • Remote Field Testing (RFT): Internal pipe inspection using electromagnetic fields without requiring tool disassembly 

  • Internal Rotating Inspection System (IRIS): Ultrasonic rotation to assess wall thickness and pipe integrity 

  • Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Detects cracks and metal flaws with high precision using electrical currents 

  • Remote Visual Inspection (RVI): High-resolution camera inspection for hard-to-reach areas 

The biggest challenge for this project: logistics.  

Dexon had to provide dozens of highly-trained inspectors and equip them with the latest technology—while also providing inspection services for other infrastructure on the premises. 

The result: spot-on diagnostics that gave the operator confidence that they knew exactly what was going on in their heat exchangers.
