Product catalog summary
Introduction
The RPCM™ Spool by PETROSYSTEM Srl is a real-time internal corrosion monitoring system designed for pipeline integrity management. It provides immediate data to prevent or limit corrosion, rather than serving as an inspection device.

Specifications
The system is capable of operating under high temperature and high pressure (HT/HP) conditions, rated up to 1035 bar (15,000 psi), 180°C (350°F), and 3050m (10,000 ft) water depth. It offers full circumferential corrosion rate measurement, pressure, and temperature monitoring.

Technology Overview
The RPCM™ Spool uses an inner spool sensing array with high-resolution metal loss detection, allowing real-time monitoring and alarming of process upsets. It features dual redundant instrumentation, ROV retrievable, and provides data directly to control systems without additional processing.

Product Features
  • Real-time CEION® metal loss measurement technology
  • Full circumferential corrosion and temperature profiles
  • Pressure measurement option
  • Subsea retrievable and intrinsically safe surface instrumentation
  • Versatile communications interface
  • Low power consumption
  • Long service life exceeding field design life

Benefits
  • Enhanced system integrity and reduced maintenance
  • Potential to use carbon steel instead of corrosion-resistant alloys
  • Optimized corrosion inhibitor dosing
  • Reduced pigging facilities and frequency
  • Extended facility life

Applications
Suggested locations include topside pipelines, production risers, subsea flowlines, and onshore pipelines. The system is compatible with lay barge installation and diver support vessel deployment.

Performance
The system offers a resolution of 0.1 to 1 micron, allowing rapid detection of corrosion rates. It is designed to handle changes in system conditions, such as increased water production or insufficient corrosion inhibitor.

Cost Savings
  • Reduced capital expenditure through material selection
  • Lower operational costs and optimized production
  • Minimized unplanned shutdowns

References
The RPCM Spool has been operational since 2001, with users including Apache Energy, BP Exploration, Conoco Phillips, Shell, Statoil, and Woodside.

It is not an inspection device but provides true real-time information that allows corrective actions to prevent or limit corrosion within the process. Fully tested and qualified, the RPCM TM spool is an established technology with a proven track record capable of the most demanding HT/HP deepwater service. The system can be rated to : 1035 bar (15,000psi) 180 degrees C (350 deg F) and 3050m (10,000 ft) water depth. The RPCM™ spool is an in-line, piggable, monitor for pipelines and flow lines giving full circumferential corrosion rate measurement plus pressure and temperature. The exceptional resolution of the embedded CEION® metal loss measurement technology makes RPCMTM a uniquely effective tool for pipeline integrity applications. When the RPCM TM is combined with modelling, the two work together to provide true real-time flow assurance integrity. Strategically placed monitoring, combined with modelling, results in full visualisation of the corrosion profile and other flow assurance variables along the line. The data generated from monitoring systems can be employed to provide on-going refinement of the models and predictive forecasting. User benefits include: - Greater system integrity, reduced maintenance and no unplanned shutdowns - Justification to employ carbon steel and corrosion inhibition in place of corrosion resistant alloys - Visibility to ensure high corrosion inhibitor availability and optimised dosing - Potential to employ reduced corrosion allowances - Potential for reduced pigging facilities and pigging runs - Alarming of process upsets and visible response to corrective actions - Extended facility life Suggested locations: * - Topside pipelines - Production Risers - Subsea flowlines - Subsea pipelines - Onshore pipelines * For single point subsea pipeline corrosion monitoring please refer to our PTEC product information
