At ROSEN, we specialize in slurry pipeline integrity management with a deep understanding of the mining sector’s challenges. Our services are tailored to meet specific operational needs, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and adherence to industry regulations and best practices.
Slurry pipeline cleaning
Slurry pipelines are vulnerable to blockages and sediment buildup, which can reduce flow efficiency and lead to increased wear. Our slurry pipeline cleaning services utilize mechanical methods to remove deposits, restore optimal flow rates, and minimize energy consumption. Regular cleaning helps prevent costly shutdowns and reduces overall maintenance needs, ensuring your mining pipelines remain efficient.
Pipeline monitoring and inspection
Continuous monitoring and regular inspection are vital for slurry pipelines due to the abrasive and corrosive nature of the materials being transported. Our industrial mining inspection solutions utilize advanced technologies such as ultrasonic for wall thickness measurement and crack inspection, MFL, and high-resolution geometry inspections to deliver essential data to assess your slurry pipeline’s condition. This allows us to detect early signs of wear, erosion, corrosion, cracks, or potential blockages and implement timely maintenance to prevent operational disruptions.
Risk assessment and mitigation
Mining pipelines face unique risks, such as abrasive wear, corrosion, and mechanical stress. Our risk assessment services identify key vulnerabilities in your slurry pipeline system and offer solutions to mitigate these risks. From optimizing flow rates to recommending enhanced materials, we help reduce the likelihood of failures and extend the lifespan of your mining pipelines.
Corrosion and erosion control
Corrosion and erosion are major challenges for slurry pipelines due to the harsh conditions they face. We offer tailored solutions to manage corrosion and erosion, including protective coatings, corrosion inhibitors, and cathodic protection systems. These measures are specifically designed for the industrial mining environment, ensuring your pipelines are protected from the inside out.
Flow modeling solutions
Understanding and optimizing the flow of slurry through your mining pipelines is critical for maintaining optimal performance. Our flow modeling solutions use advanced tools, including Pipesim and OLGA, to simulate the behavior of slurries under various conditions, offering insights that can dramatically improve pipeline performance. Our areas of expertise include, among others, steady-state and dynamic single and multi-phase flow modeling of individual pipelines and pipeline networks, production criticality analysis, and state-of-the-art cleaning and inspection tool behavior modeling with bespoke friction models.
Predictive maintenance
By combining data from pipeline cleaning, inspection, and flow modeling systems, we offer predictive maintenance services that help prevent unexpected failures. Predictive maintenance schedules repairs or cleaning based on actual wear data, ensuring that your slurry pipeline remains operational while minimizing unplanned downtime and costly repairs.
