Oil Pipelines Leakage Detection and Location by Sensing the Temperature Distribution of Optical Fiber
نویسنده
چکیده
n this essay, we present design and simulation of a Leakage detection and alocation of oil pipelines system using sensing the temperature distribution of optical fiber by COMSOL Multiphysics software. In this system, telecommunication single-mode optical fiber, 200 m typical length is used, in 1.55 μm electromagnetic wave. The proposed system, uses of Brillouin frequency shift occurred on fiber optics caused by temperature varyation because of oil spillition. High-sensitivity in detection and location of oil lekages, low cost and constant monitoring of oil pipelines are the main advantages of the proposed system.

Long-Range Pipeline Monitoring by Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing
Distributed fiber optic sensing presents unique features that have no match in conventional sensing techniques. The ability to measure temperatures and strain at thousands of points along a single fiber is particularly interesting for the monitoring of elongated structures such as pipelines, flow lines, oil wells, and coiled tubing. Sensing systems based on Brillouin and Raman scattering are us...
متن کاملEnhanced Pipeline Monitoring with Fiber Optic Sensors
Pipelines are efficient, highly reliable and safe means of transportation. However, although the number of leaks could be reduced since the early 70’s of the last century due to improved design and maintenance procedures as well as improved materials, leaks still appear. Most of these are originated by external causes such as digging excavators or slope movements despite intensive pipeline righ...

Fast and accurate detection of gas and/or liquid leakage is very important for safe operation of process plant and social infrastructures. Study aims to develop a reliable detection system of minute leakage of gas and/or liquid from pipes. We used an optical fiber Mach-Zender and Michelson type laser interferometer as an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system. The system utilizes polymer coat...
متن کاملDistributed Fiber Optic Sensing Enhances Pipeline Safety and Security
Pipelines are efficient, highly reliable and safe means of transportation. However, despite intensive right of way surveillance by foot, car and out of the air, pipeline leaks and illegal tappings are a reality – sometimes with catastrophic results. These events show a gap in real-time monitoring caused by the highly distributed nature of pipelines. Parts of this gap now can be closed with dist...
متن کاملTapered Optical Fiber Coated with ZnO Nanorods for Detection of Ethanol Concentration in Water
This work presents ZnO nanorods coated multimode optical fiber sensing behavior in response to ethanol solution. The sensor operates based on modulation of light intensity which arises from manipulation of light interaction with the ambient environment in sensing region. For this purpose, two steps are experimentally applied here; etching and then coating fiber with ZnO nanorods to provide stro...
