As underwater welding is a necessary part of the maintenance of any metal structure existing underwater, NPTN Underwater Dry Weld System was developed to dramatically improve upon conventional underwater welding repair and maintenance practices used in sub sea industries. NPTN Underwater Dry Weld System can be applied to a variety of damage repair situations in the Shipping, Oil and Gas, Marine lnfrastructure and Defense industries, and it is ideally suited to welding in hazardous environments where ignition and spark containment are crucial safety issues. The System can be used in routine weld repair situations using standardized housings or in situations requiring more customized solutions. NPTN Underwater Dry Weld System can achieve quality welds to the AWS 3.6 Class A code with 25% elongation - previously only possible in a dry welding environment. NPTN has the approval for use gained from international classification societies; American Bureau of Shipping ( ABS ), Lloyds Register of Shipping ( LR ), Det Norske Veritas ( DNV) .
Fields can be covered by NPTN technique:
I - Shipping Fields NPTN System delivers a permanent quality weld repair, in situ, with a significant reduction in cost when compared to conventional methods. With the world's ageing fleet of ships being subject to stresses from extreme weather conditions, accidents and a very competitive business environment, ship owners and managers constantly face the prospect of outlaying huge sums of money on repairs. Because of its ability to produce high quality dry welds at a similar cost and convenience to that of a wet weld, NPTN System offers enormous advantages over conventional repair methods used in the shipping industry. Currently repairs to vessels have been in two drastically different categories temporary repairs and dry docking. Temporary repairs such as wet welds and the use of concrete boxes are expedient. But, while being quick fixes, they are also very costly. They often require more frequent class inspection and ultimately have to be removed and repaired correctly during dry docking. Permanent repairs achieved by prematurely dry docking a vessel are enormously expensive in terms of both direct and consequential costs. NPTN Underwater Dry Weld System removes the need to resort to these measures in a great number of vessel damage situations. This technology can be applied to a number of underwater ship maintenance tasks such as cracks, plates, rudders, bilge keels and propellers. NPTN System is a true in-situ repair which does not disrupt or delay normal activities. Repairs using the system can be carried out during normal berthing of a ship, or even at sea (given satisfactory conditions). The repair outcomes result in a permanent repair, as if it were done during dry docking.
II - Oil & Gas lndustry NPTN Underwater Dry Weld System was developed to dramatically improve upon conventional underwater welding repair and maintenance practices used in the offshore, marine and oil and gas industries. NPTN System has enormous advantages over conventional repair methods used in these industries, chiefly in its ability to effect high quality dry welds without the need to construct a hyperbaric chamber. NPTN System can be used successfully on a number of repair tasks formerly requiring the use of the hyperbaric technique including pipe repairs, TKY joints, tie-ins, valves, and risers. NPTN is a unique dry welding system which has specific application to pipelines, oil rigs, platforms and sub-sea structures. For pipelines, a welding casing is moulded to different shapes depending on the diameter of the pipeline. NPTN can offer economical, permanent repair solutions to other sub-sea structures in the oil and gas area, such as platforms, risers, vessels, and FPSO’s, and can also be used on new installation pipelines, headers and tie-ins - jobs where hyperbaric chambers are traditionally used- again, reducing costs. The applications for the use of the NPTN System include: oil rigs and platforms where flash sensors monitor sparks and flashes onboard; petrochemical plants; and welding in confined or internal environments where external venting of fumes/gases is imperative. III - lnfrastructure lt has particular application in industries using on-shore structures such as ports, piers and jetties, where standard welding is impeded by water. NPTN System is able to undertake repairs on a variety of structures including dams, water feed lines and tanks, locks, along with other underwater infrastructure. NPTN System also has applications where ignition and spark containment are issues that must be considered when undertaking a welding repair. The nature of the inert, fully contained welding habitat created by, NPTN System makes it a perfect technology to be applied to situations where safety and operational issues restrict welding repairs. For example, where flammable and volatile gases require maintenance welding to be carried out with extreme caution, the NPTN System and its revolutionary welding housing is the perfect solution.
