Services:

 

ClampOn services are well known. Our team of experienced and dedicated field engineers work hard to keep all these systems, many of them in extremely remote places, operational.

• Support and Service

  Sand monitoring - more than just sensor selection. Sand monitoring can be a time-consuming process that requires experience, so using the operator’s own personnel can be expensive. Continuity is also important, and frequent changes of personnel make it difficult to maintain the necessary continuity and experience. However, installing and using ClampOn acoustic sand detectors on a well-designed and well-maintained system is not complicated.

• Field service

  Sand or Erosion monitoring, PIG detection or Leak detection. In spite of all the communication solutions available, some work must be done in the field. It is important for ClampOn to know our customers. Every day of the year ClampOn engineers are in the oil and gas fields, working with Sand or Erosion monitoring, PIG detection or Leak detection. This is the best way to ensure that we can meet the high expectations of our customers.

• Well test and rental

  Rent the ClampOn equipment you need. In many cases a rental system is the right solution. Rental is a more flexible solution. The right equipment in sufficient quantity and with the right type of support can be mobilized within a very short time. For a standard one channel system our delivery time is one work day.

Products:

 

• BIRD Condition Monitor

  The ClampOn BIRD Condition Monitor is a new and unique wireless acoustic sensor for the downstream and unconventional market. The BIRD (Battery-operated Intelligent Remote Detector) is non-intrusive and can be used for various types of condition monitoring of pipes, flowlines, valves and other structures.

 

• Subsea Flow Temperature Monitor

  The ClampOn Subsea Flow Temperature Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that calculates and monitors the temperature of the flow medium from outside the pipe.

  The ClampOn Subsea Flow Temperature Monitor can be used as a standalone temperature sensor. The instrument can be retrofitted to existing installations, for example to replace broken intrusive sensors. It can also be integrated into ClampOn’s range of Compact Subsea sensors to provide temperature measurement alongside sand monitoring, pig detection, vibration monitoring or leak detection.

 

• Subsea PIG Detector

  PIG detection made easy and reliable.
  The Non-intrusive ClampOn DSP PIG Detector detects and monitors when the PIG is passing the point of installation. Providing reliable information about the passage of the PIG increases pipeline integrity and produces cost savings.

 

• Particle Monitor

  Any owner or operator of a factory would surely like to operate it as efficiently and profitably as possible. An oil or gas well can be regarded as a factory, and the ClampOn sand detector gives operators the best tool for maximizing profits. ClampOn’s DSP systems operate on thousands of wells every year, and the company is the world’s largest supplier of sand monitoring systems. ClampOn is the natural choice for sand monitoring and management programs!

 

• Corrosion-Erosion Monitor

  The patented ClampOn non-intrusive Corrosion-Erosion Monitor (CEM) has been designed to monitor the average wall thickness of pipes, containers and any large object that requires corrosion/erosion monitoring. The ClampOn CEM system utilizes a unique method of monitoring wall thickness loss by the use of clamp-on sensors. A number of transducers measure corrosion-erosion by transmitting ultrasonic signals that propagate through pipe material. Using ClampOn acoustic transducers means that no drilling or welding that would cause loss of production is required.

 

• PIG Detector

  The ClampOn DSP PIG Detector registers and monitors when the PIG is passing the point of installation. Providing reliable information about the passage of the PIG increases pipeline integrity and produces cost savings.

 

• Subsea Particle Monitor

  The ClampOn Subsea Particle Monitor is a non-intrusive sensor that detects and monitors sand in the production line.

  Sand production in Oil and Gas wells is one of the most challenging factors an operator faces during production. Going subsea, safety issues in conjunction with the need to produce as much as possible  per well, makes the selection of a subsea monitoring system even more important.

 

• Subsea Corrosion-Erosion Monitor

  The ClampOn Subsea Corrosion-Erosion Monitor (CEM) continually monitors and quantifies changes in wall thickness over a large area of a pipeline. The non-intrusive instrument estimates the rate at which corrosion and/or erosion reduces the thickness of the pipe wall. In this way, it can provide operators with an early warning of potentially catastrophic failures before they occur. The CEM is therefore also an effective tool in helping operators comply with newer regulations regarding the need for condition monitoring. It can be retrofitted to existing structures or installed on new pipelines before they are deployed subsea.

 

• Subsea Vibration Monitor

  ClampOn Non-intrusive sensors for Subsea Vibration Monitoring.

  Vibrations always start at very high frequencies and change to lower frequencies as the conditions develop. The ClampOn DSP Vibration Monitor is an ideal instrument to monitor three directional vibrations on structures and pipelines with either high frequency shear waves or low frequencies. The Vibration Monitor is designed with a broadband frequency from 0 Hz to 1000 Hz in terms of 3D vibration, at the same time as ultrasound noise can be monitored up to several hundred kHz. Solutions are available for early detection of vibrations in objects such as:

  - Flow lines, jumpers
  - Pumps, rotary machinery
  - Subsea structures

 

• Subsea Condition Monitor

  ClampOn DSP Spectrum Analyzer.

  The Spectrum Analyzer digitizes the ultrasound from 20 to 1000 KHz, performs frequency analysis in real-time and sends the spectrum digitally to a PC where application specific algorithms can be applied and the results stored and presented.

  This makes the Spectrum Analyzer a compact condition supervisor that can alert the user to cracks, corrosion and vibration in a range of different applications, from pipelines to rotating machinery, chokes, valves etc.

  The Analyzer utilizes non-intrusive ultrasonic technology; the tool is attached (clamped on) to the outside of the structure it is to monitor.

 

• Subsea Leak Monitor

  The Non-intrusive ClampOn DSP Leak Monitor detects small and medium leaks or flow-throughs, even with low differential pressure over the measuring point on pipes and valves. The ClampOn DSP Leak Monitor has been developed with the aim of offering a product that can quantify a leak through a closed valve. The ClampOn DSP Leak Monitor is qualified as a subsea and topside monitor.

 

• Well Collision Detector

  The ClampOn DSP Well Collision Detector is designed to prevent collisions involving directional drilling within the proximity of existing wells. ClampOn DSP Well Collision Detectors provide operators with real time data so that collision risk analysis calculations are not the only factor determining the bit’s proximity to existing wells.

  This method uses ClampOn non‐invasive ultrasonic sensor technology in the form of a spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer digitizes the ultrasound allowing frequency analysis in real‐time.
