 SmartPlug™ Onshore
Minimize pipeline down time
The primary advantage of using the SmartPlug™ as a method of pipeline pressure isolation is the ability to minimize pipeline down time and reduce lost transmission revenue.
- Transmission and production can continue during pipeline repairs
- Reduces the time and cost to de-commission (bleed down) and re-commission (dewater, refill with product and re-pressurize) pipelines
- Minimizes refinery, chemical plant, gas processing facility, and storage terminal outage
Environmental advantages
- No hole or future leak path is left at the isolation location since the SmartPlug is non-invasive and eliminates the need to hot tap and stopple.
- Greatly reduces or eliminates the flaring of gas
- Reduces the disposal of hydrates, chemicals and contaminated hydro-test water
Technical advantages
- Eliminates the need to displace pipeline contents or conduct pipeline purges
- Isolates multiple sections of pipeline anywhere in the pipeline system
