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 />
