TÜV Systems Nord has certified ROSEN Groups EMAT Inspection tools, which are used for crack detection in gas lines. Early detection of potential cracks in gas pipelines is an important factor in ensuring their safe operation. Already in 2010, ROSEN had developed the EMAT technology to an operational stage.
Yokogawa UK, a subsidiary of Yokogawa Electric Corporation, has received an order from the British Pipeline Agency (BPA) for a management and control system for a multi-product fuel pipeline.
This project will replace BPA’s existing pipeline management and supervisory control and data acquisition (Scada) systems.
The Dresser-Rand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas Division, has received orders to supply five gas turbine-driven compressor trains for two pipelines in Mexico.
The customer is the Mexican project developer Fermaca Enterprises (Fermaca)
Building upon Pipecheck’s NDT software for pipeline integrity assessments, this latest release features major interface enhancements to provide incomparable ease of use for technicians of all levels of expertise. Whether they’re beginners or seasoned experts, any users can benefit from Pipecheck 4.0.
The Field Products and Service line of ROSEN will provide effective equipment for pre-commissioning activities to SPIECAPAG (France) by suppling 48’’ pre-commissioning tools, tracking equipment, as well as accessories to be used for the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).
The pipeline industry has long attempted to detect gas and oil pipeline leaks in a reliable and credible way. Frequently these attempts went awry, as many systems claimed to have identified a leak where none existed. Indeed, there were so many false leak alarms that the operator lost confidence in the systems.
Atmos International, a Manchester, UK based company providing pipeline leak and theft detection and simulation technology to the oil, gas, water, and associated industries, has announced that it is successfully applying its innovative Theft Net data analysis service to accurately pin-point illegal tapping points.
The STATS Group, a specialist engineering company and service provider operating predominantly in the arena of piping and pipeline integrity and maintenance, has received international certification from DNV GL, the world's largest classification society, for the design and manufacture of its mechanical connector range.
Measurement and inspection technology specialist – Optical Metrology Services (OMS) – has chosen ptc Berlin to launch its revolutionary pipe bevel measurement tool.
Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation serving customers in over 100 countries, has announced a new Pipeline Trainer 1.0 built on SimSuite 7 framework. The re-engineered tool will challenge pipeline controllers with real-life scenarios, strengthening their preparedness for such events when actually on the job.
A.Hak Industrial Services has announced that its new 3 inch pipeline and furnace inspection systems are available for projects worldwide after the first pilot projects were successfully executed. This most recent development is part of a new range of faster tools with XYZ mapping possibilities.
Pipeline operators have long identified pinhole and especially embedded pinhole defects as a significant risk factor in their integrity management programs.
The Pipeline Research Council International (PRCI), of Falls Church, Virginia, has funded a project resulting in the successful testing of a drone equipped with a methane gas sensor able to detect methane gas with a greater sensitivity than previously available.
The Fiber-Optic Methane Annunciator (Detector) intended for continuous monitoring of methane leakages from gas pipelines has been developed by the Moscow-based PetroLight Company. The device does not require additional electricity connection and is based on near-infrared diode laser with wave length of 1,651µm and is able to detect the methane concentration of 0,5 – 1%.
