Non-Intrusive
The CD52 family of products allow for easy, clamp-on, non-intrusive pig detection passage to depths of 3000 meters (9850 ft) for the CD52-A30 or 4500 meters (14750 ft) for the CD52-A45. Non-intrusive means fewer problems with maintenance and corrosion and no possibilities of leaks. Simple isolation pads may be placed between the detector and the pipe to Ensure zero possibility of galvanic corrosion.
Field Proven
CDI has been manufacturing the patented CD52 family of pig signaler for almost 10 years. With Thousands of systems installed around the globe, the CD52 family has a reliable performance record in burning deserts, frozen Tundras and everything in between. Many of CDI's customers and large oil and gas producers who Rely upon the CD52 family of equipment to set valves, pump stations and control interfaces to SCADA systems.
Battery Powered
The CD52-CD52 A30 and A45 are fully battery-powered and require no existing infrastructure. Two common D-Cell alkaline batteries provide a full five (5) years of life. Changing batteries is as simple as unscrewing the face of the unit, removing the old batteries and inserting two new ones.
Sensing Means
The sensing means of the CD52 and CD52-A30-A45 is a set of patented, non-intrusive proprietary noise canceling antennas. This clever antenna scheme was invented by CDI speci for use in pig passage detection and is available in all CD52 family products. Using this antenna system the CD52-A30 Gives its ability to reject noise and halt nearby magnetic costly triggering false positives. Simply placing a small, safe, permanent magnet onto the pig is all it takes to start using the CD52 or CD52-A30-A45 system.
Topside Signaling
A battery powered acoustic pinger Allows remote signaling of a pig passage to any surface going vessel. Simply lower the receiving acoustic transducer over the side of the vessel and listen for the 1 second pings. By default the CD52 and CD52-A30-A45 pig signalers ping to indicate a pig passage for a period of 36 hours.
Portable
The CD52-A30 / A45 system is small and lightweight enough at 35 lbs (16kg) to be deployed by divers, while at the same time being robust and durable enough to survive the rigors of deep-sea deployment using ROVs. The CD52 and CD52-A30-A45 may be optionally purchased with a protective cage shown above. Regardless of the configuration but the Chosen, the systems can be on site and ready for work within days.
Subsea Easy Installation
Deep water with an ROV installation is quick and easy with CDI's Quick-Clip deployment design. The CD52 and CD52-A30-A45 simply snap onto the pipeline.
