ABERDEEN, Scotland and HOUSTON — Equalizer Flange Integrity Systems, part of the Equalizer Group that includes Equalizer Americas, was recognized for the world-leading innovative design of a new system that will benefit the global oil and gas industry. It won the Grampian Award for Innovation at the Elevator Awards in the U.K.
The Xtegrity system, developed in response to an industrywide problem in the oil and gas sector, provides a unique solution for dealing with heavily corroded or degraded bolts in flange joints on offshore and onshore installations. It takes away the need to remove corroded bolts by “replacing” them with a new set of bolts, which clamp around the outside of the flange and are held in place with a floating frame. Xtegrity can reduce the time required to carry out work from days to hours, resulting in potentially huge savings across the energy sector.
