Technology
award
CLAMPON has had the honour of using the Spotlight on
New Technology logo since receiving an award last year.
The company received the award for its development of
the ClampOn Subsea Corrosion-Erosion Monitor (Subsea
CEM), a project realised with the support of BP and
Innovation Norway.
The technology used in the Subsea CEM enables
operators to monitor the rate of erosion or corrosion in
their pipelines. The instrument includes up to 32 ultrasonic
transducers installed on the outside of a section of pipe up
to two metres long. The transducers ‘talk’ to each other and
the ultrasonic signals passing between them change as the
pipe wall thickness reduces.
ClampOn states that it is presently the only manufacturer
that can offer technology that can measure erosion or
corrosion on the pipe itself in water depths of up to 3,000m,
although it expects competing systems to enter the market
at some point.
