LIQUID WASTE SERVICES – HDPE PIPE CLEANING WITH J.J. RICHARDS & SONS PTY LTD

April 2016

Heath Pipeline Services Pty Ltd were contracted by our client to undertake internal cleaning of a buried HDPE portion of water line.

The purpose of this task was understood to be that as the above ground steel sections of the water lines are being replaced by a third party, due to build-up of internal corrosion, it was necessary to confirm that there were no deposits of loose material in the buried section of the water line.

Upon receipt of drawings and photographs of the water pipeline, Heath Pipeline Services identified the buried section of pipe to be 110mm HDPE pipe including (3) x 90º degree elongated elbows and (2) x 45º degree elongated bends over a length of 109 metres.

Heath Pipeline Services were then able to scope the task including sourcing of specialist cleaning equipment to enable thorough cleaning of the internal wall of the HDPE pipeline.

All equipment, tools, specialist machinery and consumables were obtained, inspected and verified fit for purpose prior to any staff mobilisation.

Heath Pipeline Services proposed to clean the internal of the HDPE pipeline with the use of specialist equipment including a vacuum truck, volume of clean water and internally accessible, remotely operated, high pressure water hose with directional nozzles. J.J. Richards & Sons Pty Ltd were selected as the supplier for vacuum trucks and operators.

Equipment was used as outlined in the approved SOP and JSEA, (including high water volume cleaning from each end, internal cleaning with remotely operated, high pressure, hose from both ends ensuring not to get the hose obstructed in the various bends in the pipeline and completed with an additional high volume / high velocity flush of the pipeline). All fluids retrieved from the pipeline were disposed of either onsite or at an approved regulated waste disposal facility.

Heath Pipeline Services generated the appropriate standard operating procedure (SOP) and Job Safety and Environmental Analysis (JSEA) documents specifically for this task. These documents were submitted and approved for use by the client prior to mobilisation.

MONITORING FUGITIVE METHANE EMISSIONS UTILIZING ADVANCED, SMALL UNMANNED, AERIAL SENSOR, TECHNOLOGY – DRONE

HOUSTON, TEXAS – Heath Consultants Incorporated (Heath) in collaboration with Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), is adapting the industry-leading laser-based Remote Methane Leak Detector (RMLD®) for mounting on the InstantEye®, PSI’s two-foot-wide quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle featuring highly advanced autonomy and all-weather operation.

This technology combination, known as the RMLD® Sentry, will implement self-directed flight patterns to continuously monitor, locate, and quantify volumetric leak rates of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from natural gas production sites.

The RMLD Sentry measures methane by sending an infrared laser light beam downwards from the vehicle and detecting some of the laser light reflected back from the ground.   It relies on attenuation of the laser beam by the methane in the laser path at certain wavelengths, as compared to little attenuation at other wavelengths.  By flying circular patterns around a methane leak, the RMLD Sentry is able to deduce the leak rate and home-in on the leak location.

Development and evaluation of RMLD Sentry is sponsored by the US Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA-e). The three-year ARPA-E program will test prototype units at selected field sites.
