The technologyincludespersonnel trainingandinstructional
documentsandstandardspreparing.
Advantagesof technologyare basingonmore than40 yearsof
experience inAEtestinganddevelopment.

InnovativeAspectsof the offer The EMA technologyhasnoworldanalogues.Below itisa simple
comparison.
The standardprocedure of structure state evaluationwithAE
equipment,withknowntechnologieshasthe nextstages:
 Setup the devicesandmeasure parameters;
 Start measuring;
 Duringor aftermeasurementobtainthe coordinatesof AE
activity;
 Conductultrasonic,X-rayof othernondestructive testingto
establishsizesandgeometryof defectsfound;
 Calculate the critical characteristicsanddanger levelforeach
defectbasingondestructivemechanicstheory.
Thisprocedure isdifficultandneedmuchtime withgreatriskof
errors.It cannotbe complete fast,cannotbe make inreal time with
online resultsoncomputerdisplay.
WithEMA technologythisprocedure reducestotwoonlystages:
 Setup the devicesandmeasure parameters;
 Start measuring.
Duringmeasuringall evaluationof materialstate withforecasting
of destructionwill make automatically,inreal time,withonline
indicationaboutdangerlevel.Neednoadditionalmeasurements,
no difficultcalculations. Inaddition, withInternetconnectionuser
of EMA monitoringsystemcanknow the state of monitoredobject
everytime whenitneed.

Implementation
The technologysuccessfully passed all stages of the development
and adaptation to industrial structures, implemented on some big
enterprises of Ukraine.
For example,atfourbiggestinEurope large-capacityammonia
storage tanksand pipelinesatOdessaPortPlant.
The worldlevel of executedworkdeterminesbynext:itwasthe
firstone on the territoryof Ukraine;some of its components,such
as automaticcontrol of safety,equippingof large-capacityfacilities
(120 000 m3
),on-line predictionof destructive loadingandresidual
life are unique inthe world.
