Double Isolation Pipeline Stopper (DIPS) represents a significant advancement in line stopping technology, offering unprecedented safety and reliability for critical pipeline interventions. This innovative system provides dual-seal isolation with integrated pressure testing capabilities, establishing a new standard for pipeline maintenance without shutdown.
Providing peace of mind and added safety assurance, Double Isolation Pipeline Stopper (DIPS) enables intervention of live pipelines in the oil & gas, petrochemicals, and energy industries reliably. DIPS supports maintaining the pipeline integrity and is the next-gen advancement over double position line stop. This solution provides a fail-safe isolation using single hot tap intervention, without the need for additional tapping for bleed and vent ports.
DIPS reduces risk and provides complete reassurance to clients for line isolation in critical environments. During the intervention process, the pipeline can be operated normally with a temporary bypass.
The DIPS technology incorporates a double isolation design that creates two independent barriers within the pipeline. This redundant sealing mechanism dramatically reduces the risk of breakthrough during maintenance operations, particularly crucial when working with hazardous media or in environmentally sensitive areas. Between these two isolation seals, a pressure testing chamber allows real-time verification of isolation integrity throughout the entire intervention. Unlike conventional line stopping methods, our DIPS solution enables continuous monitoring of seal performance, providing operators with immediate feedback on isolation status. This capability proves invaluable during extended maintenance operations where seal degradation might otherwise go undetected until failure occurs.
