The most reliable and cost-effective method available for both subsea pipeline inspections as well as oil and gas platform inspections for flooded members.
FMD system is built out of high-grade aluminum with stainless steel fittings to provide outstanding strength while remaining lightweight.
A software is also use to allow for the continuous monitoring of the density between the source and detector, which provides inspectors with a steady stream of information to facilitate rapid blockage detection.
This technology allows inspectors to monitor a stationary position for any change in density which may be associated with liquid or vapor slugging.
It uses gamma ray inspection technology, mounted on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which greatly facilitates the inspection of underwater structures for cracks, leaks and other damage allowing water ingress.
It delivers readings in real time, hence can diagnose issues quickly and easily.
One of its advantages is it can be easily adapted to meet changing needs.
The FMD has great flexibility in terms of power options, as it can be entirely battery operated or use a low-voltage surface power supply.
Data transmission from the ROV to the operator is accomplished through a digital signal so there is no degradation of data, regardless of water depth.
