Nitrogen-Helium Leak Detection

Do you need to prove systems are leak free prior to start-up? Do you need to find a leak? Technical Energy Solutions (TES) conducts nitrogen-helium leak detection to prove systems are leak free. Typically, a system is pressurized with a mixture of 99 % nitrogen and 1 % helium to 95 % of system PSV setting to closely simulate live conditions. Potential leak sources such as flanges are methodically checked and evaluated. Leak rates are quantified and compared against target thresholds to enable informed decision making. Leaks beyond a set threshold are rectified. Moreover, because nitrogen is inert, the system is left inert, oxygen-free, and ready for introduction of hydrocarbons.

TES will generate a project-specific engineered procedure combined with a risk assessment to enable safe and efficient field execution. By applying this methodical approach, TES helps you start up your process system safely and without delays due to unidentified leaks. As is customary for TES, parameters are monitored and verified utilizing calibrated instruments to drive safe and efficient operations.

Pneumatic Testing

Do you need to prove pressure integrity of a system without introducing water for a hydrotest? Do you need to prove pressure integrity of a system but cannot introduce water due to freezing risk? Technical Energy Solutions (TES) conducts pneumatic testing to confirm system integrity. Typically, a system is pressurized with either of nitrogen or air and a pressure test is recorded for a set duration as specified by client or relevant industry code.

TES will generate a project-specific engineered procedure combined with a risk assessment to enable safe and efficient field execution. By applying this methodical approach TES helps you confirm pressure integrity of your system while avoiding the introduction of liquids and / or risk of system damage due to freezing. As is customary for TES, parameters are monitored and verified utilizing calibrated instruments to drive safe and efficient operations.

Hydrotesting

Do you need to prove pressure integrity of a system prior to start-up? Do you need to prove pressure integrity of a system following maintenance activities? Technical Energy Solutions (TES) conducts hydrotesting to confirm system integrity. Typically, a system is filled with water and a pressure test is recorded for a set duration as specified by client or relevant industry code. TES conducts hydrotesting across a wide range of system sizes ranging from individual spools to complete plant pipework. Moreover, hydrotesting is achievable across a wide range of pressures.

TES can add preservation chemicals such as corrosion inhibitor, oxygen scavenger, and biocide to systems that will be left static for significant durations. In subsea applications, dye can be added to assist with visual observation by diver and / or remote operated vehicle (ROV).
