Solutions Overview
ISTI’s radionuclide and seismology expertise is expressed through the many ways our products and monitoring services are used. The solutions described below show how our services and expertise solve real-world problems and ensure mission success for our customers.
Carbon capture Sequestration Monitoring
ISTI has experience working with monitoring carbon capture sequestration (CCS) through the Archer Daniel Midland’s site in Decatur, Illinois. Our work under contract with the USGS in Decatur has helped to collect and process the data for this important CCS project in the US.
Dam And Reservoir Monitoring
ISTI provides full turn-key instrumentation, infrastructure, and data processing services for dam monitoring projects.
Geothermal Monitoring
ISTI has been working with monitoring induced seismicity for the geothermal industry for many years and several customers. We have sometimes provided turnkey networks for monitoring operations using our hardware. At other times, we have taken over the data management from existing seismic networks in operation around geothermal plants.
Hydraulic Fracture Well Completion Seismic Monitoring
ISTI has many years of experience in Induced Seismicity Monitoring of geothermal and hydraulic fracture “frac” operations and an understanding of similar issues in mine operations, gas sequestration, and saltwater disposal well operations.
Nuclear Safeguards Analysis
ISTI can provide you with nuclear material safeguard services. We designed, built, and delivered an intraweb-based information system for the statistical analysis of the nuclear materials’ cycle (mass flow) in nuclear fuel processing facilities.
Radiation Monitoring
ISTI creates custom solutions that acquire data from remote sensors, control/view user interfaces (local and remote), and ensure the integrity of the data being transmitted during the acquisition process.
Salt Water Disposal Well Monitoring
ISTI’s seismic monitoring experience and broad expertise can provide a successful, Texas Railroad Commission (RRC)-compliant solution to operators wanting to implement Salt Water Disposal (SWD) Well seismic monitoring.
Volcano Monitoring
Globally and throughout the USA, ISTI’s role in the deployment and operation of volcano monitoring networks has been to provide seismic instrumentation, data acquisition, and analysis software. These services can be applied to permanent monitoring networks, temporary research networks, or rapid response for network densification during a pending or occurring eruption.
