PECAT™ - Pipeline Cleanliness Assessment Tool
Contact PE:
PECAT™ is a pigging based pipeline inspection tool developed primarily to measure the cleanliness of pipelines particularly prior to high resolution inline inspection and the decommissioning of pipelines.
PECAT™ uses state of the art unique sensor and data logging technology to measure not only location and quantity of debris in the line, but also record other parameters such as ovality (Caliper), temperature, differential pressure, changes in pipeline diameter all in the same pigging run.
Some of the benefits of PECAT™ include:
- Incorporates a caliper system and additional process data logging capability
- Makes assessment of cleaning programmes simpler and more effective
- Can measure debris of 1mm or less
- Helps prevent ineffective pipeline inspection programmes by establishing the actual cleanliness of the pipeline
- Suitable also for assessment of residual debris during chemical treatment programmes and pipeline decommissioning
Service support to carry out PECAT™ surveys
PE has a team of service engineers who manage the operation of PECAT™ and carry out all site operations. PECAT™ service support includes:
