UltraAnalytix:

The Innovative Service from CMA for Composite Materials Inspection and Diagnostics

CMA (Composite Material Applications), a Business Unit of VED Srl, stands out as a leader in the design, production, and maintenance of industrial equipment made from composite materials.

With the acquisition of the license for the use of UltraAnalytix®, CMA introduces in Italy an advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) service specifically designed for FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics) infrastructure, redefining the standards of safety, reliability, and efficiency in the management of industrial assets.

What is UltraAnalytix®?

UltraAnalytix® is a proprietary technology developed by UTComp, designed to provide fast, accurate, and non-invasive evaluations of the structural conditions of FRP equipment, including:

 

Industrial piping
Storage tanks
Scrubbers and ventilation ducts
Equipment with FRP linings

 

This service combines advanced inspection techniques with predictive analytics algorithms, offering a comprehensive assessment of the health and fitness-for-service of industrial assets without the need to shut down operations.

Service Benefits

The implementation of the UltraAnalytix® service by CMA provides significant benefits for companies operating in critical industrial sectors:

Enhanced Safety and Environmental Respect: Early identification of structural risks, preventing potential failures, accidents, and/or environmental pollutants.
Cost Reduction: Minimization of unscheduled maintenance activities and optimization of asset lifecycle.
Precision and Reliability: Detailed and accurate analysis of asset conditions based on scientific data.
Regulatory Compliance: Evaluations aligned with international standards, supporting companies in adhering to current regulations.
Sustainability: Improved operational efficiency and waste reduction, contributing to a more sustainable approach to plant management.

How It Works

Inspection with UltraAnalytix® is based on the use of non-destructive ultrasonic techniques, enabling:

Precise measurement of the thickness and integrity of composite materials.
Evaluation of residual strength and identification of early signs of structural degradation.
Geolocation of anomalies or critical points for targeted interventions.
Production of detailed reports with visual representation of results and specific recommendations.

Thanks to its non-invasive nature, UltraAnalytix® allows inspections to be carried out without stopping operations and without needing internal access to the equipment, minimizing operational costs and downtime.

Applications in the Industrial Sector

The UltraAnalytix® service is particularly suited for companies operating in complex and critical industrial sectors, such as:

 

Oil & Gas: Monitoring and evaluation of FRP structures in corrosive environments.
Chemical Industry: Integrity checks of storage tanks and chemically exposed piping.
Power Generation: Analysis of ventilation ducts and composite structures.
Water Treatment: Evaluation of tanks and FRP distribution systems.
