  • Patent number: 11890654
    Abstract: A system and method for cleaning coils in a fired heater is provided. The cleaning system includes a data acquisition tool configured to pass through the coils to acquire data. The cleaning system is configured to establish a pre-cleaning fouling baseline derived from the data for the coils. The cleaning system is configured to develop an optimized cleaning plan for the coils based on the pre-cleaning fouling baseline. The optimized cleaning plan includes a focused cleaning for a fouling area in the coils. The cleaning system further includes at least one cleaning pig configured to clean the coils based on the optimized cleaning plan. The cleaning system further includes a decoking truck for cleaning the coils with the cleaning pig based on the optimized cleaning plan.

  • Publication number: 20230160518
    Abstract: A system and method for inspecting offshore and onshore tubular or piping assets is described. The system and method utilizes an inspection tool comprising a communication system, a sensor, a long distance travel system, and a localized travel system, allowing fast long distance travel until the inspection tool approximates an area of interest, followed by actuating the localized travel system to accurately inspect the area of interest.

  • Publication number: 20220003352
    Abstract: A system and method to detecting an inline tool traveling in a pipe. A tool magnet is affixed to the inline tool. A first magnetic sensor and a second magnetic sensor are longitudinally spaced from one another and disposed outside of the pipe, detecting a first magnetic field originating from the tool magnet with the first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor as the inline tool travels through the pipe and proximate each of the first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor. The system identifies the first magnetic field as originating from the tool magnet and detects a passage of the inline tool in the pipe based on identifying the first magnetic field as originating from the tool magnet.
