Soon, the technology of non-contact magnetometric diagnostics of pipelines and tanks will be applied in Saudi Arabia on a regular basis. The final tests of the method, carried out in June 2021 on the Saudi Aramco pipelines, were completed successfully thanks to the innovative KMD-01M device developed by our company.
The devices of the KMD-line allow for the remote inspection of the pipelines without resorting to a special in-line gear and interrupting the oil / gas flow through the pipe. The devices are highly reliable and allow for lower inspection cost if compared to most traditional methods.
We are convinced that the introduction of non-contact magnetometric diagnostics with the KMD-01M will not only reduce the cost of maintaining Saudi pipelines, but will also increase the safety of the desert ecosystem when transporting hydrocarbons. The success of KMD-01M paves the way for testing KMD-02, intended for subsea diagnostic work, which would significantly reduce the risk of accidents at coastal pipelines.
