spotOn U is a permanently-installed real-time corrosion monitoring solution designed to operate in most environments and locations.

Offshore Above Ground Below GroundOffshore structures such as platforms, FPSOs and underwater pipelines with-stand very harsh environmental condi-tions and can be challenging and costly to inspect. A fully-submersible, IP69K version of spotOn U has been specifically designed for offshore utilisation. spotOn U can interface with on-deck and onshore facilities via local wired or wireless network, giving real-time up-dates on the status of the pipes. spotOn U can also be provided with dedicated satellite data links.

spotOn U provides real-time information about pipe wall thickness and tempera-ture to identify corrosion trends in real time while reducing the need for intru-sive tools and periodic inspection. Data is sent in real-time to the shield-Cube portal or to your dedicated server utilising encrypted GSM, WiFi or satellite links. Alternatively, data can be stored on the instrument and manually collected. Corrosion engineers can utilise this in-formation to quickly establish the effi-ciency of inhibitors or the effect of tem-perature on the corrosivity of the prod-ucts flowing inside pipes.

The integrity of buried pipelines is typical-ly surveyed utilising in-line inspection (ILI). This technique is very effective at identify-ing threats. However it may not always be feasible to immediately address every identified threat. spotOn U can be mounted on buried pipes and utilised to monitor threats until remedial action becomes either strictly necessary or convenient. spotOn is a fundamental tool to obtain and monitor the reference thickness value that many other monitoring tools rely upon.
