【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】Intelligent external pipe inspection robots put into use at Yangzi Petrochemical from 1989 to 2023
Thread Content
Ten years of rapid development in chemical processing equipment – praise for the prosperous and strong China. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. HaiChuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to take an active part in the forum discussions. ********************************************* Recently, the intelligent inspection robot for external pipelines at Yangzi Petrochemical was installed, tested, and is now in use for pipeline inspections. The external pipelines of the Yangzi Petrochemical plant have been in use for many years; they resemble giant dragons spanning high above the ground in utility corridors. These pipelines are characterized by long transmission distances, a large number of pipelines, high density of installation, and the transportation of various types of materials. Moreover, since many of these pipelines run along the roads within the factory area, it is difficult to ensure proper safety and environmental controls. To improve the inherent safety management level of the process external pipes, since June 2021, Yangzi Petrochemical has initiated a project to introduce intelligent robots for inspecting these pipes. It has worked together with relevant robot manufacturers and software developers to carry out trials on the external pipe main corridor, which is approximately 1600 meters long, taking advantage of the company’s comprehensive 5G+industrial internet infrastructure. After nearly two years of research, development, and construction, the project was successfully put into operation on the first attempt. The intelligent inspection robot for external pipes utilizes multiple advanced technological methods to detect abnormalities such as overheating and leaks in a timely manner. It turns invisible potential hazards into visible and manageable information, establishing an effective monitoring system based on \"pre-event warning, real-time control, and post-event analysis\" – thereby providing reliable assurance for the safe operation of the company’s process external pipes.

This is a robot with a fixed track; it should have gas detection and thermal imaging functions. I wonder what level of development its learning capabilities have reached?

Thank you for sharing. The intelligent inspection system is a new technology that deserves to be promoted; the frequency of manual inspections is still not as high as that of this intelligent system, which also helps to reduce the workload on workers
