The 'Advanced Acoustic Emission (AE) for On-Stream Inspection of Petrochemical Plants project is a PERF (Petroleum Environmental Research Forum) sponsored initiative. The objective of the project is to develop field-usable, cost-effective, AE technology for on-stream inspection of Petroleum industry vessels and pipelines, in lieu of internal inspection. To achieve this objective, much work has been focused in four key areas. This paper will review the resulting achievements using examples of data from AE testing of vessels. In summary, much progress has been made on this project to date in each of the four areas including; development of more accurate source location techniques, determination and use of reliable source discrimination techniques, implementation of quantitative AE-fracture mechanics and fitness for service, and integration of these developments into a high speed, cost effective AE system with experienced based, user friendly operator software and full testing guidelines and procedures. The effort has involved, theoretical and laboratory work, field testing as well as system hardware and software development work.
