Brinker Technology Ltd. offers innovative pipeline integrity management solutions, including the revolutionary PlateletTM Technology. This technology mimics the human body's response to cuts and wounds, sealing and locating leaks without disrupting pipeline operations. The PlateletTM Technology uses mechanical platelets with embedded identification tags for leak identification. It provides a cost-effective solution, reduces environmental damage, and allows for remote implementation.

PlateletTM technology for leak location and sealing Brinker Technology Ltd. is based in Aberdeen, Scotland and provides pipeline integrity managementsolutions through: • Innovative Products and Engineering • Expert Consultancy • Research and Development during pipeline conceptual design, detailed engineering, commissioning, operation, and trouble-shooting. Brinker Technology has adapted the concept of how the human body responses to cuts and wounds for use in pipeline flow. This has resulted in the development of mechanical “plateletsTM” containing an identification tag such as RFID, radioisotope or other, embedded in them to aid location
The Technical Concept • Platelet™ Technology • “as a means to seal and then to locate leaks • without disruption to operation” • Concept • Release tagged “platelets™” into pipeline • A “number” of the platelets™ will become entrained into the leak • Traverse the pipeline with various possible methods including sensor array (pig) or ROV to locate trapped platelets™ • Report position data
Features of PlateletTM Technology • Seals and locates leaks in a single integrated process thus reducing leak lifetime and consequential environmental damage. • No disturbance to pipeline operation so costly shutdowns may be avoided. • Implemented remotely as direct access to the leakage point is not necessary. • Provides an alternative means of investigating suspected leaks. • Buys additional time for the operator to determine appropriate course of action in the case of sudden leakage. “Provides a new solution tool-box for pipeline engineers”
