Why Use an Inline Isolation Tool?

● Achieved cost savings through overall project cost reduction.


● No excavation required on most pipeline isolations, minimizing disruption and reducing 

   site footprint.


● Eliminated fittings on the pipeline, addressing potential future integrity concerns.


● No welding or NDE necessary, simplifying both the preparation and execution phases.


● Reduced manpower requirements enhance safety and cost-efficiency.


● Two independently operated plugs ensure complete sealing, delivering reliable double block

    isolation for effective pipeline isolation.


● Bi-directional piggability provides operational flexibility.


● Enables remote communication through ELF signal for system control and tracking.


● The fail-safe locking mechanism is driven by differential pressure.


● Enhanced safety compared to traditional methods (e.g., intrusive isolations, plumber’s plug, 

   ice plug).


● Minimal to zero customer downtime - bleed, pressurize, and maintain operation 

   without disruption.


● Independently verified through third-party testing (ADV/Acuren).


● Continuous integrity monitoring is available 24/7.


● Real-time tool status is accessible globally to customers through a secure, cloud-based 

   monitoring platform.


● Reduced emissions - Inline isolation effectively reduces hydrocarbon emissions by 

   eliminating the need for venting or flaring during operations.
