T.D. Williamson Unveils the SHiiELD™ System
T.D. Williamson (TDW), a prominent global player in pipeline solutions based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has recently introduced the
SHiiELD™ double independent isolation and bleed (DiiB) system. This groundbreaking technology represents a significant advancement in pipeline integrity and safety, catering particularly to operators seeking reliable and efficient methods for managing and repairing pipeline systems.
What is SHiiELD™?
The
SHiiELD™ system combines state-of-the-art technology that enhances traditional methods of pipeline isolation. Unlike prior systems, SHiiELD™ ensures a leak-proof performance with double independent modules that can be monitored and activated remotely. This feature significantly minimizes operational risks and improves overall pipeline efficiency.
Key Features and Benefits
The notable features of SHiiELD™ include:
- - Enhanced Safety: The double independent design significantly reduces the risk of failures during operation. The system can withstand stringent safety standards, aligning with environmental regulations concerning emissions.
- - Increased Throughput: SHiiELD™ provides four times the throughput area compared to conventional isolation systems, thus accelerating repair times and enhancing operational productivity.
- - Remote Monitoring: This innovative system allows operators to monitor pipeline conditions from a distance, making it easier to respond to issues without the need for manual intervention, saving both time and resources.
- - Reduced Emissions: With the industry's first certified leak-proof seal, SHiiELD™ not only maintains operational integrity but also contributes to environmental protection by preventing volatile emissions during pipeline repairs.
A Game Changer in Pipeline Management
As Bob McGrew, CEO of T.D. Williamson, stated, "SHiiELD changes the game for pipeline isolation by enabling operators to achieve their emission and safety goals efficiently. By integrating true redundancy with best-in-class throughput and remote activation, SHiiELD delivers the safest possible isolation for both personnel and the environment." This innovation showcases TDW's commitment to enhancing pipeline safety and operational efficiency.
