4 Scope of Work and Survey Goals Bulk Fuel Installation ~ Swansea Plant Required scope of work: Carry out an external survey of the shell plates using RMS300 system. The inspection will consist of an ultrasonic thickness survey of all vertical shell plates where access permits. Carry out a visual inspection of all accessible external welds. Carry out visual / ultrasonic survey of the external nozzles and manways. Carry out an ultrasonic corrosion survey of external shell to nozzle interfaces. Coent on the condition of external fixed pipework, saddle supports and other relevant tank features. Survey Goals: The attached report documents the findings of the examination performed on June 28 th ~30 th 2016 The Report provides an evaluation using data collected during the survey. Data was collected to provide information on the tanks present and continued usage. I. To detect and size remaining material at the Lower and Upper tanks. II. To detect size and map areas of internal / external originating corrosion. III. To consider characteristic, severity and corrosion rates of external pitting as far as is practicable. IV. To record ultrasonic thickness measurements of all shell plates in order to obtain their nominal thickness. V. To conduct an ultrasonic corrosion scan at the iediate shell plate area surrounding all Nozzles, as far as is practicable. VI. General visual inspection to note external nozzle, saddle support etc. condition. Survey Method: The RMS shell survey was conducted at a resolution of 10 x 2 () classified as corrosion detection. Any areas of significant interest were additionally scanned at a resolution of 2 x 2 () classified as corrosion mapping. Page 4 of 61

5 Any significant external pitting could be analysed by the RMS system (due to the increase in the delay line / water path). Shell Plate areas not accessed by the RMS system were systematically monitored by A Scan Flaw detector to identify internal corrosion loss, if any. All Nozzles and Manways were visually and ultrasonically (where conditions allowed) examined. The following equipment was utilized during the inspection; Silverwing RMS 300 system.

7 Rapid motion scanner (RMS) Introduction The Rapid motion Scanner (RMS) is a high speed remote access ultrasonic corrosion mapping system which can inspect ferrous materials and pipe work. The RMS2 system is a crawler and control system which outputs encoder pulses and ultrasonic signals. In order to generate a C-scan map the use of a third party data capture system, capable of transmitting / receiving ultrasonic signals and processing the encoder information is required. The system can operate at a high capture speed and is capable of interpreting ultrasonic signals at speeds of 730 per second when set a resolution of 2 or greater. The minimum resolution the system can inspect is 0.5. Colour palette Figure 1 The C-Scan image of this scan shown in figure 1 indicates a change in wall thickness as a variation in colour. The relationship between material thickness and colour is shown by the colour palette shown alongside the C-Scan. This palette has a thickness range of 0 to 9 as indicated by the numbers down the right hand side of the colour palette. Figure 2 We can see in the C-scan image in Figure 1. This is a way of showing us or mapping out corrosion areas within a material, providing us with an overall thickness of the material (Dark blue Area). As this area is giving us our thickest part of the material, we can then say this will be our nominal thickness area(s). This will be safe to assume that there is no material loss in these areas. The A-scan image in Figure 2 shows us 4 Signals on the screen. The first signal to the far left is the top surface (Where the signal firsts meets the Plate material). The signal has had to travel through a water column (Starting from the initial pulse at point 0. This method of ultrasonics is used with many iersion techniques and irrigated Page 7 of 61

8 systems such as the RMS system. The second signal is called the 1 st back wall echo (BWE). This is where the pulse has now travelled through the material from the first signal and refracted back to the probe. This now gives us our first thickness reading. (See gate 1 in light blue). Finally the third signal is called our 2 nd back wall echo (BWE). This is just a repeat signal of gate 1 (See Figure 1). The point between gate 1 and gate 2 is giving us our actual material thickness (not including the coating) see gate 2 in yellow, this is now our True Thickness of the material (Echo to Echo). The following report generated in CMAP shows 4 different CScan views: Material Thickness with Coating (calculated from gates 1 st back wall echo Reference), Material Thickness (calculated from gates 2 nd back wall echo 1 st back wall echo), Amplitude (calculated from the highest amplitude signal within the amplitude gate), Surface profile (calculated from the top surface marker to the Reference gate).
