ABSTRACTs

Industrial Radioactive Tracers
By : Mohd Fitri Abdul Rahman (Malaysian Nuclear Agency, Malaysia)

Industrial radioactive tracers involve the use of radioactive isotopes or 
labelled compounds to track and study the behaviour of materials in 
various industrial processes. These radioactive "tracers" are selected to 
mimic the physical and chemical properties of the material being traced, 
allowing researchers to monitor flow patterns, residence times, leaks, and 
other process characteristics. Common radioactive tracers include tritium, 
sodium-24, scandium-46, bromine-82, technetium-99m, and iodine-131. 
Radiotracer technology has widespread applications in process diagnostics, 
enhanced oil recovery, mixing studies, leak detection in pipes and 
vessels, and residence time distribution analysis. By providing critical 
insights into industrial operations, radioactive tracers enable process 
optimization, troubleshooting, and the development of more efficient 
systems across sectors like petrochemicals, water treatment, and energy 
production.

Application of Radioisotopes: Pipe-Scanner:
Non-destructive Detection of Blockage and Material Build-up

By: Lahasen Dahing

The PipeScanner is a non-destructive gamma-ray transmission-based 
technique for detecting blockages and material build-up inside pipelines. 
Following a short introduction of the principles of using a radioisotope 
gamma source the various equipment components, the source, the detector, 
and the counting system will described including inspection procedures, 
site preparation, equipment setup, calibration, scanning, and data 
analysis. Several case studies will be shown demonstrating the ability to 
locate blockages and to measure deposit material in different pipeline 
applications like fertilizer plants, offshore oil platforms, and chemical 
processing facilities. The advantages of the technique, like being 
non-destructive, online, and applicable to insulated pipes of any size, 
will be highlighted along with the benefits of improved efficiency and 
cost savings for the plant.
