ACME SMART GAUGE PLATE

The Smart Gauge Plate System (ACME)* confirms gauge plate

condition without the need for pig removal. It signals to a

remote vessel and saves DSV time.

Arrival Condition Monitoring Equipment (ACME) can be

mounted on to a standard gauging pig to provide information

on the gauge plate condition,without the need to disconnect

and recover the receiver to deck and remove the pig for

visual inspection.

Remotely confirms pipeline bore/ovality acceptability

based on gauge plate integrity

Eliminates requirement for calliper runs

Eliminates early pigtrap removal / pig recovery

Enables immediate commencement of hydrotesting

Increases vessel efficiency

pipelife technology

PSL Inspection Integrity provides a suit of intelligent data gathering technologies with a focus on through life asset

management of piping systems and related facilities. Data is presented in a user friendly format which can be readily

collected and/or imported to other data management or integrity assessment systems.

PIG HOME

The Pig Home system originally developed by PSL, is a technique for

informing the attendant support vessel that the pipeline pig has

arrived at the pipeline receiver facility. A magnetic anomaly detectorswitches on a standard external pinger when the selected pig enters

the receiver. Conventionally, the receipt of a pig is not known and

the vessel typically is on station while an additional 15% line volume

is pumped to ensure pig arrival. The system allows the pumping

operation to stop, with the resultant saving of vessel time.

Confirms pig departure/arrival

Eliminates over pumping

Reduction of chemicals discharged to sea

Physical confirmation that the pigs are actuallyin the trap before the DSV leaves location

Schedule and cost savings

IMPACT / SHOCKLOGGER

The Impact loggers can allow gauge

plate damage location to be cost

effectively and precisely identified.

The impact logger is a device which

measures any abrupt changes in

momentum to the passage of the pig,

as it travels through the pipeline.This

allows operators to pinpoint exactly

where any gauge plate damage has

occurred in the pipeline and also be

able to monitor the efficiency of

their pigging programme. Results can

be reviewed immediately on site indetail, with the shock loggers

specialised operational and display

software.

Low operating costs and is easily adapted

to fit onto client's pigs Allows immediate access to recorded data

requiring no post-operational processing

Survey results provided in standard office

package format

Various sampling rates to suit clients

requirements

Records location of pipeline weld

beads, pipeline bends, valves,dents, defects and damage, internal

debris, etc.

Increases vessel efficiency, schedule

optimisation, cost reduction

ELECTRONIC VALVE ACTUATIONAND MONITORING

The EVA/LVI* system allows a remote vessel to close receiver valves, thus eliminating the requirement

for vessel relocation to close valves for subsequent hydrotest.

EVA is a complementary technique which can be used in conjunction with the ACME and Pig Home

systems to further enhance PSLs range of commissioning related services. EVA is a remote actuator

and signaling system, which integrates with the Pig Home and ACME systems to close the discharge

valve on the pig receiver, once the pig has been received in the trap.This allows the hydrostatic test

to proceed without delay, and without relocating the vessel to close the valve at the receiver.

On receipt of the pig at the receiver, it is possible using the EVA system to remotely close the subsea

discharge valve and begin the hydrotesting of the pipeline.The LVI tool has been designed to confirm

that the valve is in fact shut and not leaking.

The tool is designed to allow any leakage to pass easily through the tool and for this fluid movement

to be detected, and a warning signal put out to the PIG HOME system. An acoustic uplink (pinger)

notifies the vessel that there is a leak and that intervention is required to fully isolate the system.

Facilitates remote closure

of discharge valve (EVA)

Confirms seal integrity of

closed discharge valve (LVI)

PIPELINE SYSTEM3D GEOMETRY / OUT OFSTRAIGHTNESS TOOL (OSCAR)

The OSCAR* pipeline survey pig provides accurate data on pipeline

curvature, and shape, whether due to intentional features of the

pipeline construction, imperfections during pipelay, or movements

which have occurred, whilst in operational service.

Defines a unique pipeline shape in X,Y and Z coordinates

Generates information during the construction/Capex phase:

- Out of straightness (OOS)

- As built coordinates when related to survey data

Generates information during the operational/Opex phase:

- Pipeline lateral/inline movement, i.e. instability, hooking,

expansion, etc.

- Used to determine pipeline vertical movement, i.e. monitor

the effects of scour, spanning and subsidence

Develops a basis for trend monitoring pipeline integrity

SUBSEA PRESSURETEST LOGGER

PSL can now offer client's a subsea pressure test

logger which will allow vessels to carry out other

activities during the test hold period on submarine

pipelines.As well as increasing vessel flexibility, the

system reduces weather dependency and allows

remote leak checks to be made using one vessel.

Facilitates remote logging of hydrotest

Operation independent of vessel

Alarm triggered at minimum pressure limit

Enables extended hydrotest periods (HSE issue)

DATA LOGGERS

A pipeline's condition, performance and efficiency

can be determined by collecting relevant information

and analysing the results. PSLs range of datalogger

systems provide a low-cost, effective and efficient

first step to achieving this goal. These systems are

self-contained, multi-channel data loggers, each

channel providing independent non-volatile memory

and power supply.

It can be customised to suit client specifications and

can be adapted to fit inside the customers own

range of pigs or is available ready cupped.

The data from these systems also:

Provides pipeline conditioning monitoring Provides pipeline pressure and temperature profiles

Provides pipeline velocity profile and dynamicsof the pipe

Baseline operational characteristics prior to

intelligent inspection runs


10/28


MOBILE METAL LOSS RATE(MMLR) TOOL

The MMLR* tool is designed to be pigged through the line during

normal routine pigging operations, measuring the corrosivity ofthe product for its entire passage through the line.This tool is

ideally suited for pipelines with high water content, typically >5%,

and provides a predictive tool for wall thickness loss.

The data from the tool also:

Provides accurate temperature and pressure profiles

Optimises pipeline inhibition programmes

Manages frequency of wall thickness measurement tools

Develops a basis for trend monitoring pipeline integrity

Provides a consequence management tool

PSL- DDL

The PSL Deposited Data Logger (DDL)* allows

sensors to be placed in the pipeline at critical areas,

e.g. low points where water may pool, downstream

of Ts, at the base of risers, etc..

This technology employs a Mother Ship to deposit

into the line at specific points, DDL spheres ofspecific sizes, complete with various sensors.These

DDLs stay in place for up to two months measuring

the undisturbed operating environment of the

pipeline. On completion of the agreed period they

are recovered by a subsequent pigging operation.

CORROSIVITY TOOLSMany inspection tools measure the actual wall thickness within a pipeline system. Now for the first time

it is possible to measure the corrosivity of the fluids in the pipeline along with operating temperatures and

pressures, either continuously along the length of the line, or at static pre-defined locations.

The data from these DDLs also:

Provides continuous undisturbed corrosivity

reading at static locations

Provides continuous pressure andtemperature reading

Provides static measurements from

critical locations

Optimises pipeline inhibition programmes

Manages pipeline inhibition frequency

Develops a basis for trend monitoring Provides a consequence management tool

By use of these systems conventional pipeline inspection pigging costs

can be optimised and time between inspections significantly extended.*patents pending

STANDARD PIPELINE CLEANING

Pipelines are intended to convey hydrocarbons or other products in a

problem free operational life, which is intended to last for a minimum

duration equating to the design life of the system. The reality of the

situation however is that throughout the lifespan of the pipeline system,

a range of conditions my occur which may effect the continuing

operational integrity and/or efficiency of the pipeline system.

Different types of maintenance tools help to solve the various problems

encountered.The range of PSL services offers to plan and perform a

cleaning and maintenance program for all individual pipeline situations

and operational parameters. Maintenance cleaning by use of optimal

and efficient cleaning solutions removes deposits and possible debris

and ensures optimum product flow and an efficient pumping operation.

Cleaning is also essential prior to using intelligent inspection tools of

different techniques.Within this service, PSL is using different types of

cleaning pigs such as:

Polly Pigs

Flex-I-Pigs

Bi-Directional Pigs

Bi-Di Brush Pigs

Cup Pigs

D-Scaling Pigs

Sphere Pigs

Custom-made Pigs for

special operations

TIME OF FLIGHTDIFFRACTION- TOFD

Time of Flight Diffraction, commonly known

as TOFD, is a highly accurate ultrasonic

inspection technology, principally intended

for weld inspection. It is a rapid system that

provides full volumetric coverage of both

weld and heat affected zone, and generates a

real-time image with defects shown in true

location and size for offline interpretation

and measurement.The resulting data can be

interpreted by experienced operators to

provide defect sizing to within +/- 0.1mm.

The data is presented as a 2D grayscale

image, and provides a permanent record of

all parameters used, providing excellent

repeatability.

AUTOMATED ULTRASONICTECHNOLOGY- UT-MAPPING

Corrosion Mapping is a method of producing a full colour graphic

map of a test area, showing different thickness in different colours.

The inspection approach can be performed in alternative ways:

A camera tracks an ultrasonic probe with a LED mounted on it as

it scans over the test area. Positional data from the camera is

combined with the thickness reading obtained,and once processed

this data will create the colour image, or corrosion map of the area

under test. By use of mechanised scanners. The ultrasonic probes

are moved by the scanner unit, which again is controlling the

positional data. This provides an accurate image, showing the data

as a 2D or 3D colourgraphic contour map (or even displayed as a

spreadsheet in certain circumstances).

The ultrasonic based systems above are highly accurate, but

relatively slow methods of inspection.The methods are normally

applied for detail inspection on pipes, pipelines, vessels, etc.

SCREENING INSPECTIONTECHNOLOGY- GUIDED ULTRASONIC

A non-destructive screening technique for detecting metal

loss in pipelines and process pipework.

Guided ultrasonic technology screens pipework for metal

loss features such as corrosion and erosion.The technology

is suitable for pipeline and process pipework applications,

as well as road crossings and inaccessible pipework in general.

The technology utilises low-frequency guided ultrasonics

equipment travelling along the pipe, providing 100% coverage

of the pipe-wall. Under normal conditions, tens of meters

of pipework can be inspected from a single location.

Potentially defective areas are precisely located in terms

of distance from the transducer ring. Indications are high-

lighted for local examination by visual or conventional NDT

methods (set-up time takes only 10 minutes, and each test

typically takes about 10-15 minutes). The defect detection

sensitivity is generally set to the removal or loss of 5-9% of

the cross-sectional area of the pipe (standard report level),

but it is often possible to find smaller defects if required.

All signals can be digitally stored for later analysis,

archiving and comparison with baseline data at a future date

if required.

This new cost-effective means of rapidly screening pipes

and inspecting inaccessible pipework can be used on pipe

diameters from 1" to 24". Other pipe diameters on request.

SOLV is a planning tool for fabric

maintenance with the prime purpose of

optimising the use of available resources, thus

increasing efficiency. This is achieved through

comprehensive recording of maintenance

and inspection information, such as surface

area and condition, in conjunction with the

use of empirical factors.

SOLV covers the maintenance planning for

coated and insulated surfaces, including

passive fire protection and penetrations.

Using our experience, and with the aid of our

dedicated software programs, we can readily

provide the SOLV fabric maintenance

service, which may be individually adapted to

each of our customers specifications.

This solution needs to be SOLVed.

preventive and selective maintenance is

subsequently performed.

In order to achieve cost-optimisation for this service, we normally

implement preventive and/or selective maintenance programs.This

means that maintenance is performed on relatively "good" paint film

condition i.e. we maintain the paint film to a minimum acceptable

level, not the steel underneath. During the lifetime of the installation

or plant, this maintenance practice has been documented to reduce

costs by up to 50%.The SOLV software was introduced in 1993,and

is now used on more than 60 on and offshore installations.
