iNPIPE PRODUCTS, one of the world’s leading companies in pipeline cleaning, is launching its residue mapping tool Phoenix. The product uses state-of-the-art sensors to produce a highly accurate and detailed real-time snapshot of a pipeline’s internal condition.
Unlike competing systems, where obtaining post-scan results typically takes weeks, Phoenix produces comprehensive reports from the collected data within minutes and delivers accuracy down to 0.1 mm.
With this revolutionary technology, the award-winning company aims to save its customers hundreds of thousands of pounds. Speaking about the solution, Barry Ritchie, General Manager of the iNPIPE PRODUCTS™ Aberdeen Service Centre, described the Phoenix residue mapping tool as a groundbreaking development using the most advanced sensors in the sector. He explained that, when required, it captures up to 144,000 data points every second, providing an unrivalled volume and precision of data across a pipeline network, and gives pipeline operators a full 360-degree internal assessment identifying everything from debris and damage to temperature fluctuations and internal joint measurements.
Ritchie added that the Phoenix tool effectively gives both small and large commercial pipes a top-level MOT, providing an excellent pipeline map that gives businesses the reassurance that money will not be wasted during in-line pipeline inspections.
Founded 40 years ago, iNPIPE PRODUCTS™ stands out as a leader in pipeline pigging, maintenance, isolation and testing products. The North Yorkshire-based company, which has a service centre in Aberdeen, develops a comprehensive package of solutions for sectors that depend on pipeline networks, from energy and petrochemicals to food and water. The Phoenix tool is expected to be particularly useful in sectors where ageing infrastructure presents unique challenges.
iNPIPE PRODUCTS™ Managing Director Simon Bell said that the water industry has faced well-documented problems with leaks due to ageing pipes made from materials such as carbon steel, cast iron and even clay. He noted that the company’s technology allows entire pipelines to be mapped, providing vital data that can help detect and address problems before they turn into costly failures.
