Minimisation of risk

New approaches are needed to enable the industry to make an impact on the rate of serious incidents.

Monitoring delivers real-time oversight – as opposed to every few years with pigging.

Monitoring enables correlation of inflections in corrosion rate with inflections in operating parameters, enabling proactive management.

Our modern analytics and visualization enable the limited number of qualified people you have to focus on the critical.

Guided Ultrasonics monitoring systems deliver data continuously from the remotest locations

Maximisation of profitability

Monitoring enables operation with confidence – at the maximum pressure / velocity consistent with the true condition of your asset, rather than having to operate inside the envelope, as for example PGE post San Bruno because of uncertainty about that condition.

Monitoring informs the decision, at short notice, whether to transport a slug / ‘burp’ of deleterious material – CO₂, H₂S, other out-of-spec gas – or shut a valve;

…in full compliance

Our modern analytics and visualization make it practicable to comply with regulatory requirements to handle the demands such as the US ‘Mega Rule’ Phase 1

the 3-to-5-fold increase in the mileage to be assessed;
maintenance of documentation on monitoring;

with the limited number of qualified people you have.

Many applications

transmission in lines with variability of throughput composition
- to inform the decision, at short notice, whether to transport a slug / ‘burp’ of deleterious material – CO₂, H₂S, other out-of-spec gas – or shut a valve;
- to determine whether such a slug has caused damage when its passage is determined after the event, and / or cumulative such effects;
gathering upstream of treatment – dehydration / H₂S – plant;
low-flow sections, where the effectiveness of chemical treatment is sufficiently questionable that continuous monitoring can add particular value;
non-piggable sections.
