What is Subsea NORM Detection
Subsea NORM detection involves the identification and
quantification of naturally occurring radioactive materials
within subsea pipelines and equipment. These materials
can accumulate over time, posing significant risks to both
personnel and the environment. Our Subsea NORM
Detector technology utilizes advanced gamma
spectroscopy to accurately detect and measure NORM,
ensuring compliance with safety and environmental
regulations.

Applications of Petritek’s Subsea NORMDetector
Wide Range of Applications
- Oil and Gas Pipelines: Our Subsea NORM Detectors play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and integrity of oil and gas pipelines. These pipelines often transport hazardous materials over long distances, and the accumulation of naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) can pose significant risks. Our detectors continuously monitor these pipelines, providing real-time data on the presence and levels of NORM. This constant surveillance helps in preventing potential leaks and contamination, ensuring the pipelines remain safe and operational. By maintaining compliance with stringent safety and environmental regulations, our technology minimizes the risk of costly spills and enhances the overall efficiency of pipeline operations
- Subsea NORM Detection: The application of our Subsea NORM Detectors extends to various subsea infrastructure projects, including platforms, rigs, and subsea installations. In these environments, accurate detection and monitoring of NORM are essential for both maintenance and decommissioning processes. Our technology provides detailed data that informs the safe and efficient handling of underwater equipment and structures. During decommissioning, the ability to detect and measure NORM ensures that materials are disposed of safely, reducing environmental impact and meeting regulatory requirements. For operational installations, our detectors help maintain structural integrity and operational safety by identifying and addressing potential NORM-related issues promptly.
