FAQ

Do you have questions?

Can Ecosystems provide PPE?

Yes, with agreement in advance

Is tank entry always required?

No, we prefer camera or drone inspections where possible.

Do you inspect specific equipment types?

Yes, we focus on technologies we supply, ensuring relevance and accuracy.

What are plant inspections and why are they important?

Plant inspections are systematic evaluations of industrial equipment and processes to assess condition, safety, and performance. They are essential for identifying potential failures early, ensuring mechanical integrity, and minimizing unplanned downtime.

When should plant inspections be carried out?

Plant inspections are typically performed before scheduled turnarounds, during preventive maintenance programs, or when performance issues are suspected. Pre-turnaround inspections are especially valuable for reducing risks and optimizing shutdown activities.

What types of inspection methods do you use?

We use a combination of advanced inspection techniques, including drone and camera inspections for remote access, confined space tank entries, catalyst and activated carbon sampling, and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to detect hidden defects without damaging equipment.

How do plant inspections improve safety and reliability?

By detecting corrosion, wear, fouling, or structural damage early, inspections help prevent equipment failures and hazardous incidents. This improves overall plant safety, extends asset lifespan, and enhances operational reliability.

Can inspections be performed in hazardous or hard-to-access areas?

Yes, our inspection services include remote technologies such as drones and high-resolution cameras, allowing safe and efficient assessment of hazardous, elevated, or confined areas without exposing personnel to unnecessary risks.
