A pipeline operator - having difficulty inspecting deep well booster pumps tasked with moving crude oil - approached Diakont to develop a robotic solution using electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT) and laser profilometry
A major North American pipeline operator was having difficulty inspecting deep well booster pumps tasked with moving crude oil. The pumps are designed to be removed from the 18’ deep steel wells for repair and maintenance, but the wells themselves are installed in concrete casings. Inspecting the wells requires the operator to take them out of service for extended periods of time to remove and inspect.
The pipeline operator approached Diakont to develop a robotic solution capable of inspecting the deep wells without removing them from the concrete. The robotic solution uses electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMAT) and laser profilometry to provide comprehensive data for both the vertical well barrel and the horizontal flat cap at the bottom of the well.
This section of pipeline was in a high consequence area. Low flow, its narrow internal diameter, tight bends and plug valves made the pipe unsuitable for traditional smart pigging. Industry worked with pipeline service vendors to develop a suitable solution.

Diakont has developed a new technology for reliable API 653-compliant floor inspections in filled storage tanks.
Bayesian network modeling was explored as a solution to the challenge of effective use of large datasets, due to its ability to analyze complex cause-effect relationships while considering the variability and uncertainty in the data.
