E.E.B.C. carries out expert assessments and technical evaluations for boilers, steam pipework and pressure vessels used to store Co2 and hydrogen.
What the assessment covers
- Structural integrity checks.
- Thickness measurement.
- Examination of welded joints.
- Identification of corrosion and defects.
- Verification by non-destructive methods.
- Assessment of the remaining service life.
- Definition of the measures needed for safe operation.
Pneumatic pressure testing
We carry out pneumatic pressure tests with inert gas, to verify the strength and tightness of pressure vessels. The test gas is delivered in liquid form, vaporised under control and introduced into the installation as a gas, through a pressure regulation and control system.
- Staged pressurisation.
- Continuous monitoring of the parameters.
- Hold at test pressure.
- Tightness verification.
- Controlled depressurisation.
- Preparation of the technical test report.
