HiTClean addresses a number of related safety critical, security of energy supply, production economic andmaintenance challenges in the life cycle of Oil&Gas offshore production installations (e.g. platforms and FPSOs)subsea assets including pipelines and production pressure components. The project will develop novel guidedwave ultrasonic technology for subsea pipelines to be deployed by diver or a Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV):(A) Condition Monitoring (CM) for the early detection of in-service defects, e.g. corrosion - using Long RangeGuided Wave Ultrasonic (LR-GWU) Pulse Echo (PE) technology, Teletest Focus electronic instrument, encirclingultrasonic sensors and signal processing for the on-line (in-production) innovative inspection of subsea pipescarrying hydrocarbons, (B) Innovative High Power - Continuous Wave (CW) LR-GWU electronic instrument andtransmitters to dislodge and remove accumulated debris fouling in subsea & topside pipelines at temperaturesof up to 400°C, (C) for pipe regions susceptible to fouling - innovative Moderate Power CW LR-GWU electronicinstrumentation and transmitters for fouling prevention in subsea pipelines at temperatures of up to 400°C.

HiTClean解决了石油和天然气海上生产设施(例如平台和浮式生产储油罐)海底资产(包括管道和生产压力部件)生命周期中的许多相关安全关键、能源供应安全、生产经济和维护挑战。该项目将为潜水员或远程操作车辆(ROV)部署的海底管道开发新的导波超声波技术：(A)状态监测(CM)，用于早期检测在役缺陷，例如使用长程导波超声(LR-GWU)脉冲回波(PE)技术、最小聚焦电子仪器、环绕超声波传感器和信号处理，用于在线(在生产)创新检测输送碳氢化合物的海底管道；(B)创新的高功率连续波(CW)LR-GWU电子仪器和发射器，以清除和清除高达400°C的海底和顶部管道中积累的碎片污垢对于易受污垢影响的管道区域-创新的中等功率CW LR-GWU电子仪表和发射器，可在高达400°C的温度下防止海底管道中的污垢。
