Upcoming Strategic Pilot #3
Pressurized Energy Infrastructure Integrity
Proving Safety and Compliance for Critical LPG Tanks
Overview: Versatility and Public Safety
Building on our expertise in large-scale storage tanks, this pilot is designed to prove NodAI's capability on another type of critical, high-risk infrastructure: pressurized underground LPG tanks. This is strategically vital for validating our versatility and commitment to public safety.
Strategic Value Proposition:
- It demonstrates the versatility of our technology on different materials (metallic tanks) and in challenging environments (underground).
- It establishes our solution as a key technology for ensuring public safety and regulatory compliance in the distributed energy sector.
Project Objectives
- •Validate Performance on Pressurized Vessels: Demonstrate the ability to detect early-stage defects like corrosion, cracks, and microscopic leaks in metallic, underground LPG tanks.
- •Prove Public Safety & ROI Value: Quantify how our continuous, 24/7 monitoring can prevent hazardous failures at public fuel stations and optimize costly, periodic inspection schedules.
Project Scope
- •Partner & Client: The pilot will be conducted in strategic partnership with TEKPROM at one of their client's fuel station facilities in Istanbul, Turkey.
- •Assets: Focus on LPG underground tanks (metallic), common in distributed energy and public access areas.
- •Duration: To be determined.
Methodology: Continuous AI Monitoring
-
1
Hardware Installation: After installation of MonPods on the tanks’ accessible surface magnetically, Acoustic Emission (AE) data acquisition will be initiated.
-
2
AI Data Analysis (Real-time): NodAI's AI platform will continuously analyze the acquired data to precisely identify defects, including cracks, corrosion, and microscopic leaks in tank structures.
-
3
Insight Generation: The platform will generate actionable insights and location-based graphics, displaying the "Health Score" for each Tank directly on the client’s maintenance team dashboard.
