In an exclusive interview with Jacob Deshotels, a representative of ClampOn, we explored how this Bergen, Norway-based organization has led the market for over thirty years. The key to its success lies in the use of ultrasonic passive acoustic technology, a method that allows for asset health inspection without any intrusion into the pipeline.
Non-intrusive monitoring and its implementation in the industry
Certainly, the primary benefit for operators lies in the ability to monitor corrosion and erosion in real time. By constantly quantifying wall thickness loss, companies gain a deep understanding of their equipment’s life cycle. Likewise, this information is vital for adjusting maintenance schedules and ensuring long-term infrastructure reliability.
On the other hand, particle detection and vibration monitoring are presented as critical tools for maximizing efficiency. Sensors designed by the Norwegian R&D team have been deployed in the world’s harshest environments, in both surface facilities and subsea applications. These devices have demonstrated exceptional durability, in many cases exceeding three decades of continuous operation under extreme conditions.
Finally, the synergy between its Houston and Norway offices allows for robust global technical support. The company’s longevity is no coincidence; it is the result of expanding its technological infrastructure to complement existing product lines. In this way, ClampOn positions itself as a strategic ally for operators looking to reduce operational risks while boosting their hydrocarbon extraction and transport levels.
