OceanTools D8 DyeTector®
An advanced subsea leak, dye and cement detector developed with two sets of optical components to detect two different types of dye using a single compact device.
Description
The D8 DyeTector® is an advanced subsea leak, dye and cement detector developed with two sets of optical components to detect two different types of dye using a single compact device.
A DyeTector may be used to detect leaks from subsea infrastructure such as manifolds, wellheads or pipelines if a suitable dye has been added to the infrastructure fluids. A DyeTector may also be used during casing cementing operations to detect cement returns if a tracer dye is added to either the seawater spacer or to the cement itself.
Acknowledging environmental responsibilities needs to be taken seriously, OceanTools have worked with a leading supplier of offshore chemicals to develop dyes with very low environmental impact.
