Envirolock Paybacks
Where Do You Get the Most Bang For Your Buck?
There is a wide spectrum of pipeline integrity management techniques already in the market - so why consider ours? It's simply this: we offer a comprehensive solution to potential leaks and ruptures. We meet or exceed the efficiency and business value of every alternative in a single technological solution:
| GOOD Outcome: Rapid Leak Detection & Clean-Up | Identifies leaks. However, this method may not be timely or sensitive to low-flow releases. | Does not identify leaks. | Identifies leaks. However, this method is potentially susceptible to network outages/sensor problems that could result in mitigation failure. | With integrated leak detection, Envirolock speeds leak identification for even low flows. Network outages/sensor problems will not result in mitigation failure. |
| BETTER Outcome: Leak Containment | Does not contain leaks. | Does not contain leaks. | Stop leaks shortly after they occur, but initial flows and residual flows are still released. Shut-down process disrupts product delivery | Completely contains all leaks while enabling continued product delivery until scheduled repairs can be completed |
| BEST Outcome: Leak Prevention | Does not prevent leaks. | Can prevent leaks due to internal and external corrosion, but not ruptures resulting from external strikes, security breeches, or ground shifting. | Does not prevent leaks. | Can prevent leaks due to exterior corrosion as well as ruptures resulting from external strikes, security breeches, or ground shifting. However, cannot prevent leaks due to internal corrosion. |
| Emergency Clean-Up & Liability | No mitigation: $$$ | No mitigation: $$$ | Reduces clean-up and liability due to remote shut-down: $$ | Virtually eliminates clean-up and liability due to total containment: No cost |
| Pipeline Repair & Replacement | No mitigation: $$$ | Extends pipeline useful life due to prevention of corrosion: $$ | No mitigation: $$$ | Extends pipeline useful life due to prevention of external corrosion and exterior damage: $$ |
| Asset Resale Value | No Improvement | Limited improvement due to anti-corrosion protection | Limited improvement due to installed leak-detection hardware | Significant improvement due to installed complete leak prevention & containment system |
| Permit Processing for New Projects | No Improvement | Limited improvement due to anti-corrosion protection | Limited improvement due to installed leak-detection hardware | Significant improvement due to installed complete leak prevention & containment system |
