Efficiency improvements

With the implemented measures and conveniently accessible data, you achieve timely decision-making and optimized trend analysis, ensuring immediate efficiency gains.

Are clogged up pipelines
impacting your profits?

When a medium does not flow economically through a pipeline, there is a direct impact on operations and costs. Flow instabilities, thermal issues, blockages and restrictions, containment loss, and operational fluctuations can all affect the safe and economical transportation of media through pipeline assets.

This is why we take a holistic approach to pipeline performance across multiple aspects of operational and maintenance management. We work with you to keep things moving.

Six measures to
maximize throughput

It all begins with an in-depth consultation, followed by data collection and analysis to identify what needs to be done to optimize throughput performance and efficiency gains. This is just the starting point, however. We recognize the importance of quantifying improvement changes through monitoring, reporting and adjusting operational and maintenance parameters to sustain throughput, maintain savings and therefore decrease downtime.

A special feature of our approach to pipeline performance is the flexible application of the six measures. Depending on where the pinch points are in your pipeline system, one, several or all measures of the Pipeline Performance Framework are applied.

  • Measure #01: Situation Analysis & Data Gathering

    Gather all necessary data

    After an initial feasibility study, our specialists optimize the collection of historical and current data about the design and operation of your pipeline system, the product being transported and data on cleaning operations.

    Measure #01 covers:

    • Feasibility Studies
    • Engineering and Consultancy Services

  • Measure #02: Data Assessment & Analysis

    Review and analyze

    Once we have gathered the data, it is then carefully reviewed and analyzed by our experts. All the data is securely stored and then made available in a comprehensive data management warehouse.

    Measure #2 covers:

    • Flow Assurance Assessment and Modelling
    • Pigging Feasibility Studies
    • Cleaning Effectiveness Evaluation
    • Cleaning Tool Design Review
    measure-figure

    Highlight service: Flow Assurance Services

    Increase flow and reduce downtime.

    By properly managing and addressing hazards that slow the flow, particularly in aging assets, you can extend a pipeline's operational life by several years. Added to this, using effective management techniques reduces operational downtime, creating greater profitability and an uninterrupted flow. By recognizing and dealing with flow challenges, you can ensure sustained efficiency and maximize your pipeline's potential.

  • Measure #03: Options Identification & Selection

    Identify areas for improvement

    As we go through the process of optimizing your throughput, our experts will take into account changes to your operation, maintenance, cleaning and transportation. From pressure to cleaning, we identify all areas for potential improvement.

    Measure #3 covers:

    • Pigging Feasibility and Optimization
    • Pressure/Flow Management Assurance Assessment
    • Cleaning/Maintenance Program Management Guidance
    • Transportation Management Guidance
