Ensure Hydrogen Pipeline Readiness with CMI Technology

The Future of Energy is Hydrogen—Is Your Pipeline Ready?

As the global energy landscape shifts toward cleaner, more sustainable solutions, hydrogen is emerging as a key player. Its versatility and low carbon footprint make it an ideal energy source for a range of industries. But before you leverage hydrogen’s full potential, you need to ensure your existing pipelines can safely and efficiently handle this new medium. EMPIT’s Current Magnetometry Inspection (CMI) technology offers a non-invasive, data-driven method to transition your pipelines to hydrogen readiness without costly downtime or guesswork.

Why Hydrogen? The Future of Sustainable Energy

Hydrogen is a game-changer in the push toward zero-emission energy systems. It has the potential to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, serve as long-term energy storage, and power everything from industrial facilities to transportation fleets. As the world advances toward net-zero targets, ensuring your infrastructure is prepared to transport hydrogen safely is essential for staying competitive and compliant with emerging regulations.

EMPIT’s CMI: Your Pathway to Hydrogen Readiness

EMPIT’s Current Magnetometry Inspection (CMI) technology sets a new standard for pipeline assessment. This holistic, above-ground, and non-intrusive method empowers operators to:

Key Advantages:

• Non-Invasive Assessment: Inspect pipelines from the surface with no excavation, service interruptions, or intrusive equipment. Operations remain uninterrupted and cost-efficient.
• Tailored for Hydrogen Challenges: Detect bending strains that may cause hydrogen embrittlement, corrosion, and other integrity issues that traditional methods might miss. Gain confidence that your pipelines can handle the unique demands of hydrogen transport.
• Data-Driven Insights: Deliver precise XYZ positioning, depth-of-cover measurements, material stress data, and detailed mapping of anomalies. These actionable insights enable informed decisions that meet hydrogen safety and regulatory standards.
• Cost-Effective and Efficient: Accurately locate issues before they escalate, saving on unnecessary pipeline replacements, reducing downtime, and optimizing investments in hydrogen conversion projects.

Proven Performance: A 75-km Hydrogen Readiness Project

In a recent 75-kilometer pipeline inspection aimed at hydrogen readiness, EMPIT’s CMI technology delivered substantial benefits:

• Risk Mitigation: Identified active corrosion and insufficient depth of cover, ensuring safe hydrogen transport.
• ILI Verification: The results that EMPIT delivered have shown a high correlation with pig run results. The most active corrosion spots showed the deepest metal loss.
• Targeted Repairs & Upgrades: Precise data enabled operators to focus on repairing only affected areas, avoiding the expense and disruption of full-scale pipe replacements.
• Compliance & Sustainability: Ensured alignment with hydrogen safety standards, reinforcing the operator’s position as a leader in sustainable energy solutions while contributing to long-term environmental and economic goals.

Trust & Compliance You Can Count On

EMPIT’s CMI technology not only identifies issues but also ensures compliance with international regulatory frameworks for hydrogen transport. By proactively addressing integrity challenges, operators demonstrate compliance, instill confidence in stakeholders, and position their businesses as forward-thinking leaders in the global energy transition.
