UTS<br />

The types of inspection services that UTS is providing<br />

on this project cover a relatively broad range, including:<br />

industrial radiography (RT) of welded joints in<br />

pressure piping systems; ultrasonic inspections (UT) to<br />

establish baseline thickness readings; positive material<br />

identification (PMI) of raw materials; liquid Penetrant<br />

(PT); magnetic particle (MT) testing of various welded<br />

components; and, visual inspections (VT) from our<br />

certified welding inspectors.<br />

This project and the model that we are using to<br />

execute our inspection activities are relatively new for<br />

our Industrial Services Group. Traditionally, we arrive<br />

on the scene of extended outages at power plants,<br />

paper mills and/or chemical plants for weeks or maybe<br />

even a month at a time. Having a staff onsite at The<br />

Hunt Refinery throughout the duration of the expansion<br />

has allowed us to maintain continuity and continual<br />

contact with our clients. As a result, we believe this<br />

greatly elevates our level of service to our customers.<br />

We plan to apply this same model to other projects in<br />

the future.<br />

Hunt Refining Company started operations in<br />

Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1946. Shortly after legendary<br />

oilman H. L. Hunt discovered heavy, asphaltic<br />

crude oil near Gilbertown, Alabama, he built a small<br />

3,500-barrel per day asphalt refinery in Tuscaloosa to<br />

process the crude. Over the years, the original plant<br />

has been replaced and today it has a capacity of 52,000<br />

barrels per day.<br />
