FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGY EXPERT TO PRESENT AT 2008 COAL BED METHANE FAIR ENERGY EXPOSITION

David Southern will address pipeline integrity automation at annual event

WHO: David Southern
Product Development Manager
FreeWave Technologies

Southern has 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, mining, hazardous waste remediation, petrochemical and refining industries. Prior to joining FreeWave, he was a Business Manager for an Emerson Process Management representative. Southern has authored or co-authored several U.S. patents and has been published in several industry magazines including Pipeline & Gas Technology, POWER, American Oil & Gas Reporter and Compressor Tech II. He is a 1982 graduate of the School of Mines.

Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies (www.freewave.com) is a world leader in the innovative design and manufacture of ISM band radios and wireless data solutions that are trusted for mission critical applications around the world.

WHAT: Pipeline Integrity Automation

Energy and pipeline companies wrestle to meet new stricter state and federal pipeline integrity requirements while simultaneously trying to control operating costs. Recent, unfortunate, pipeline news events pushed corrosion and cathodic protection to front page news across the nation to the extent that the U.S. Congress and several states passed legislation directed specifically toward cathodic protection practices. Many companies are looking to new technologies and automation for answers. Unfortunately, ever changing cell phone technologies left some companies scrambling to stay ahead of telemetry obsolescence. Effective answers to critical issues affecting public safety are often found in a combination of both old and new technology.

In this presentation, Southern will focus on how Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring Units automatically collect and report mission critical, corrosion prevention data from remote rectifiers and test points and transmit that data back to a central data collection system via wireless, radio modems–often using a company’s existing radio networks.

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ DAVID SOUTHERN TO SHARE BENEFITS OF AUTOMATED CATHODIC PROTECTION …

Cathodic Protection expert to demonstrate latest technological innovation for ensuring automated pipeline integrity

WHO: David Southern is a Product Development Manager for FreeWave Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of spread spectrum wireless solutions. www.freewave.com

Southern has 25 years of experience in the water/wastewater, hazardous waste remediation, oil and gas industry, mining, petrochemical and refining industries. Prior to joining FreeWave, he was a Business Manager for an Emerson Process Management representative. In 1978, as a summer intern on an offshore oil production platform, Southern learned firsthand the basics of corrosion prevention and the everyday importance cathodic protection plays in mission critical operations. Southern has authored or co-authored several U.S. patents and is published in several industry magazines including Pipeline & Gas Technology, POWER, American Oil & Gas Reporter and Compressor Tech II. He is a 1982 graduate of the School of Mines.

WHAT: FreeWave’s FGRCP Industrial 900MHz Cathodic Protection (CP) Remote Monitoring Radio
Energy and Pipeline Companies wrestle to meet new stricter state and federal pipeline integrity requirements while simultaneously trying to control operating costs. Recent, unfortunate, pipeline news events pushed corrosion and cathodic protection to front page news across the nation to the extent that the U.S. Congress and several states passed legislation directed specifically toward cathodic protection practices.

Effective answers to critical issues affecting public safety are often found in a combination of both old and new technology.

This presentation will focus on how Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring Units, such as FreeWave’s recently introduced FGRCP 900 MHz Radio, automatically collect and report mission critical, corrosion prevention data from remote rectifiers and test points and transmit that data back to a central data collection system via wireless, radio modems–often using a companies’ existing radio networks.

The FGRCP automates the remote monitoring of critical pipes and culverts to identify and prevent corrosion that can lead to leaks, groundwater contamination and other such adverse scenarios affecting overall water quality, supply and/or public safety.
