have a pipeline that is unpiggable and we plan to perform LP ICDA to check the itnernal condition of the pipe. however the BS&W is about 35% and NACE specifies 5% as the max allowable BS&W to enable use of LP-ICDA but also mentions sound engieering could be applied to tweek this process to still obtain useful info. Any help on which methods that could be applied as flow modelling may not be adequate
