T.D. Williamson SA (TDW) announced in October completion of an inline inspection (ILI) of a key jet fuel pipeline for the Belgian Pipeline Organization (BPO). BPO is a military organization responsible for the operational maintenance of the Central Europe Pipeline System (CEPS) on Belgian and Luxembourg territory. The inspection of more than 130 km (80.77 miles) of pipeline was carried out quickly and efficiently, enabling accurate identification of defects for targeted repair. To inspect the line, the service company used its magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection tool, which uses magnets to saturate the pipeline. Sensors oriented within this magnetic field facilitate accurate detection and sizing of internal and external metal loss and other ferrous anomalies.
