Unlocking Speed: EVO Accelerator Interview

1. What are the key improvements in the new update to our EVO inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… tool? The most significant enhancement is the ability to operate our small-diameter tools (6" & 8") up to two times as fast. This upgrade has been a critical goal and brings several operatorAn entity or organization responsible for the operation, management, and maintenance of a pipeline system. The operator is entrusted with ensuring the safe, rel… benefits:

   • Reduced Pipeline Impact: Faster tools mean operators are less likely to reduce pipeline throughput to accommodate our inline inspectionA method used to assess the the integrity and condition of pipelines. It involves the use of specialized tools that are inserted into the pipeline and propelled… technology. This ensures uninterrupted product delivery - minimizing disruptions for customers.

   • Shorter Tools for Easier Handling: Higher speed reduces the tool's energy requirements, allowing for shorter tool designs by eliminating one or more battery vessels. Shorter tools simplify tool handling and often negate the need for trapAn ancillary item of pipeline equipment, with associated pipe work and valves, for introducing a cleaning pig or inline inspection (ILI) tool into a pipeline (l… extensions.

   • Fewer InspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… Passes: Previously, slower speeds could require multiple inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… passes due to limited battery life. With the speed increase, more inspections can now be completed in a single pass—sometimes reducing the need for three passes down to just one.

2. How does the speed increase impact the overall accuracy and reliability of the inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… data? The speed increase has no effect on data accuracy or reliability. Operators will continue to receive the same high-quality inspectionThe systematic process of visually examining, testing, or monitoring pipeline components to assess their condition, integrity, and compliance with regulatory re… data they’ve always trusted from NDT Global.

3. What types of pipelines will benefit from the speed increase? Are there any inspection scenarios where the speed increase would be beneficial? The speed increase will primarily benefit 6" and 8" liquid pipelines, as well as any pipelines where operators currently need to slow their normal flow to accommodate inline inspection (ILI)A method used to assess the the integrity and condition of pipelines. It involves the use of specialized tools that are inserted into the pipeline and propelled… runs.

4. How does the new update compare to the previous technology? The key advantage is that it’s the same proven technology, now with faster operation. Operators will continue to receive the same high level of detection, sizing, and characterization accuracy that NDT Global has always provided.
