Recertification

Asset’s integrity involves numerous distinct checks and inspections. From the simplest of pressure tests to a full strip down and restoration to manufacturer’s original specifications, the level of requirement can vary greatly depending on the criticality and specificity of the design.

All aspects of asset integrity can be handled uniquely by Soul Energy. We undertake a level of pre‐inspection cleansing that is not seen within the oil and gas industry with our onsite corrosion coatings facility. The cleaning can be as simple as power or steam wash all the way through to a back to bare metal strip pending on the requirement. Once prepared for inspection all equipment is subject to a close visual inspection to ascertain if any underlying faults exist that would immediately halt the recertification. Moving on from the visual inspection various inspection techniques such as MPI/DPI are applied to catch potential failure sites before they progress to a fault.

In accordance with the manufacturer’s procedures damaged components are replaced with OEM spares   and function tested once the equipment has gone through the various inspection phases.

A full body pressure test is performed to the manufacturer’s specification to ensure that the Maximum Working Pressures are safely handled after assembly and function test.

Lastly, equipment is coated in accordance with its service requirements. Coatings of the highest standard are applied to the equipment and  in many aspects  surpasses the specifications of coatings given from the original. Refurbished equipment’s life expectancy is  expanded  and any unseen corrosion that can progress and diminish the material properties is  eliminated  with a full strip back and recoating. To complement these technical capabilities, Soul energy has invested in infrastructure to ensure the highest degree of confidence and there is professional competence within its department of operation.
