Our Approach was...there has to be a better way than

• Extensive nitrogen purging.
  
• Leaving fittings on the line that can create future pigging and integrity issues.

   

Our IsoTool is designed to

• Reduced downtime and outages during repairs
• Leave no hardware or fittings on the pipeline
• Have no need to purge or excavate expansive sections.  The only product that requires evacuation is between the tools
• No welding on a pressurized system
• Zero Leakage Rate
• Produce no future corrosion or pigging problems, as it requires no holes in the pipeline, leaves no coupon, and leaves no future leak path
• Be competitively priced with existing technologies
  
• Be bi-directional capable and able to traverse 3D bends
• Multi-set capability – perform up to 3 isolations before having to remove pigs from the pipeline
• Internal by-pass valves allow for easy refill
• Tether-less and autonomous
• In most cases, isolation site does not require excavation
• Tracking, positioning, and operations provided by Integral

Accurate control by secure 2-way communication

The IsoTools employ a secure 2-way communication system that gives instructions to the tools and retrieves status information from its onboard sensors including:

• Upstream and downstream line pressures
• Power draw on the tools during operation
• Set current
• Battery Voltage
• Internal bypass valve position
• IsoTool internal temperature
