DNV Technology Qualification

DNV provides Statement of Qualified Technology for Subtera’s core CUI and moisture detection technology.

Subtera is delighted to announce that it has successfully completed a rigorous technology qualification (TQ) project with DNV.

Starting in 2023, DNV has assessed our core detection technology and methodology, including our core advanced passive terahertz sensors, our system, and our data processing.

DNV’s TQ process is an established systematic approach to de-risking new technologies before they enter service. Working together with us, DNV identified potential operational and data analysis issues that could arise in practice. Subtera designed-in improvements, solving these, and other, future potential issues before performing full scale testing. DNV was able to issue a Technology Certificate for our technology after validating evidence gathered during extensive testing.

Hari Vamadevan, Executive Vice President, and UK and Ireland Director, Energy Systems at DNV commented: “DNV is thrilled to collaborate with Subtera on their groundbreaking technology, which revolutionizes CUI detection with advanced terahertz sensors. This collaborative work also paves the way for innovative data and digital applications across natural gas, hydrogen, and carbon capture pipelines, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. The work that Subtera is doing is exactly the kind of fresh thinking we need as we look for solutions to help accelerate the energy transition and we look forward to working with them in the future.”

David Haskett, CEO of Subtera, added: “Working with DNV to qualify our core CUI detection technology has been a hugely beneficial process. During the process, DNV’s well-established methods and procedures meticulously evaluated our technology, its testing, and related system development. DNV’s rigorous approach has enabled Subtera to achieve higher levels of performance, thoroughness, and understanding.”
