2003 At A Glance

LASMO were fortunate enough to work alongside like minded professionals from many different companies at some great locations around Australia. From the coast to the outback, onshore and offshore but the most exciting of all was, that we travelled this beautiful country coast to coast, doing what we like best.

Global Inspection Support

LASMO has been involved in local Australian inspection support since its inception, providing Senior AICIP and API inspectors along with tube inspection specialists. Laser cleaning has taken off and we are proud to announce that our copyrights have now progressed to the patenting stage. Training of our team is never ending and we now have 3 people with remote pilots licences and CASA approval.

Assisting local companies during the execution of international work was the obvious next step. We are kicking off 2024 with a tube inspection campaign in New Zealand. So, no matter where you are based, LASMO can assist.

Do drop us an email at info@nulllasmo.com.au to see how we can assist or use our Contact Us page to get in touch.

Boiler Failure

Due to the insulating effect that scale and soot have on a boiler tube, means that the tube-wall temperature can get so hot that the tube itself weakens and can rupture. It goes without saying that more fuel must be used to produce the same amount of heat transfer which increases cost and reduces system reliability and longevity.

Not All Cleaning Methods Are Equal

To determine the most effective approach to remove fouling, every facility needs to look at the type of scale occurring in their boiler. Laser ablation is by far the best solution here in Western Australia. Manual cleaning blends defects and removes material from the substrate whereas lasers do not. Laser removes the soot and scale from the tube walls and ablates corrosion residue from within the crevices of defects. Laser ablation is designed to decontaminate and restore substrates and that facilitates improved NDT detection of failure mechanisms that can lead to catastrophic failure.

Boiler Wall Preparation

Manual cleaning is labour intensive, takes a lot longer and blends defects which is not ideal. On the other hand, our lasers remove contamination and corrosion from within the crevices of defects making it easier to detect.

Bare metal = great NDT results
