HYDROTEST
Environmentally sound solutions
for pressure test in pipelines, hook-ups, risers and caissons.
The integrity of all sub-sea hydrocarbon conduits must be assured prior to commissioning.
Leaks are costly, pollutant and unprofessional. They are definitely bad PR.
Pipelines, collectors, wellheads, satellites, hook-ups, workovers and replacements all require pressure test/leak test in both statute and best working practice.
Cocktails of chemical products added to hydrotest water are many and various. Custom and practice are historical. Leaks, failures and spent solutions discharged at sea are harmful, sometimes persistent and always unsightly when tracer dyes are employed.
Agma offers a novel, proven package for all water-based pressure and leak testing.
- EP 1186/MIS is a patented tracer 'dye' which is invisible! even at high concentrations under normal received 'white' light. EP 1186/MIS fluoresces only under irradiation by tuned UV light and has been proven effective in numerous sensitive in-shore test-and-discharge schemes. EP 1186/MIS is up to ten times less toxic towards marine life than rhodamine or fluorescein dyes.
- PROCEINE LIQUID oilfield microbiocide rapidly and completely wipes out corrosion-inducing anaerobes (sulphate reducers). PROCEINE LIQUID is substantive towards metals and acts as a temporary film forming corrosion inhibitor. No additional use of toxic hydrocarbon based film formers is required.
- The use of oxygen scavengers of the inorganic sulphite type may sometimes be appropriate dependent upon the alloys in use, the test duration and the completion spec.
DON'T USE MESSY, STAINING, UNSIGHTLY AND TOXIC HYDROTEST COCKTAILS. PROTECT YOUR HARDWARE, YOUR PERSONNEL AND YOUR MARINE ENVIRONMENT - ASK AGMA.
