TYPHOON v.3
TYPHOON v.3
Automated pipe handling systems have allowed many conventional rig floor tasks to become obsolete. Yet a fundamental operation – wiping the pipe when POOH, still relies on technology from the days of wooden derricks. With 100% Red Zone compliance a non-negotiable in today’s Drilling industry, there existed a gap in technology that RIGTOOLS identified and have solved with the TYPHOON v3.
Facts
The TYPHOON Wiper is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple. It connects to the rig’s HP water system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. In addition LP air is connected for actuation of the rubber wiping blades.
Actuation of water/wiper blades can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from Driller’s Cabin.

TYPHOON v.2
TYPHOON v.2
The high level of safety at modern drilling operations require special attention to equipment. Most drilling rigs have fully automated derrick and pipe handling systems. In certain regions the legislation prohibits personnel to work on the drill floor while the automatic pipe handling machines are in use. But still we experience personnel using HP cleaners when BHA is pulled through rotary and rubber wipers to clean DP string.
Facts
The TYPHOON v.2 is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple.
It connects to the rig’s HP water system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. In addition HP air is connected. Actuation of water/air can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from driller’s cabin.
TYPHOON v.2 is welded in heavy stainless steel and in compliance with “Dropped Object Prevention Handbook”.
CE certification.
Welding certificate.
Advantages
Easy to install on top of diverter or bell nipple.

Benefits
TYPHOON v.2 eliminates personnel performing manual cleaning in Red Zone when BHA and DP is pulled through rotary.
No exposure to the danger of dropped objects or working close to remote operated machines on drill floor.

Reviews
Its going well for us! We love the TYPHOON Wiper for the simple fact of reducing exposure in the RED ZONE.Rig Manager - Drillship Noble
We have now tested the wiper and the feedback from offshore is that it works very wellJohan Sverdrup
The RIGTOOLS 360° Wash Tool works very good. We used to have 3 independent pressure washers and 3 men to man them. Now, we have hooked up 2 pressure washers to the unit and only need 1 man to run it. Additionally, he is no longer in the red zone as he is able to operate it with moving a valve or two from time to time Outside The Barricades”. Time, personnel, and money is being saved with a tool that works perfect for our applicationMaintenance Supervisor - Shell Perdido
