Explore key takeaways from PPIM, including advancements in pipeline integrity, hydrogen challenges, and the impact of COVID on operations.
With a long history of natural gas infrastructure engineering and recent experience with RNG projects, Acuren’s Integrity and Design team is interested in contributing its expertise in RNG analysis, control, measurement, and transportation to the development of the RNG industry and specific projects.
Faced with anomaly-related pressure reductions and ambiguous ILI results, a client turned to Acuren's engineering team for a comprehensive integrity solution. Acuren managed nitrogen purging, anomaly cutouts, spike and hydrotesting, and pipeline restoration, securing a five-year reassessment interval and re-establishing MOP. Through strategic planning and contingencies, the project exceeded expectations, finishing early and under budget.
