LNG and LPG Cryogenic Camera for Preventative Inspection
Debris discovered on the sealing face of a suction valve after removal of an LNG pump. Seeing such obstacles allows for corrective action before installing new/spare equipment increasing the run time of new units ensuring uptime and reducing overall lifetime costs.
Given current market prices, NCS is dedicated to extending the life of your equipment’s MTBF. NCS does not sell parts – we sell experience and reliability. Part of this is using our cryogenic camera to perform a suction valve inspection to verify a debris free operating and sealing area for the new unit. NCS recommends that a suction valve cryogenic camera inspection occur any time a retractable pump is removed from service. The camera inspection often takes less than 1 hour and can be completed within the same day the spare or new unit is installed. If debris or ice is discovered, our clients rest assured that NCS has the technical and business acumen to quickly resolve the issue given the client’s requirements. There is no need to let your new or repaired equipment face risks that can cause failure or reduced run time when using NCS.
