Devon data firm Klarian secures major UK pipeline project

A Devon-based firm has secured a major project with a company which operates the pipeline network that transports petroleum products around the UK.

Klarian, which is based at Exeter Science Park, has developed a tech platform called Digipipe, which the company says collects pipeline data and provides analysis for clients looking to achieve greener and more efficient operations.

The company, which also has an office in London, said it had landed the deal with the British Pipeline Agency having previously worked on an investigation for the organisation into the pumping operations of a single-product jet-fuel pipeline supplying a major UK airport.

Rob Clegg, chief executive of Klarian, said: “We are proud and delighted to be working with BPA. Klarian’s technology and data capabilities combined with BPA’s desire to innovate, present a distinctive opportunity to optimise their operations for an efficient and data-driven network.”

BPA chief executive John Armstrong added: “Working with Klarian on one of our jet fuel pipelines has revealed several areas where we can make significant efficiency gains and increases in throughput. We’re looking forward to seeing what they reveal as we expand their offering across our network.”

Klarian moved into Exeter Science Park’s £5m STEMM business centre, The George Parker Bidder Building, at the start of last year.
