A Novel Liquid and Gas Pipeline Leak Detection System
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Methane is one of the most serious greenhouse gases contributing to irreversible climate change. The contribution of methane emissions from leaking pipelines and the expected increased throughput through the pipelines prompted the natural gas industry to set a goal of reducing emissions by 50% by 2010. The integrity of the pipelines is critical to the safety of the gas transportation infrastructure. The U.S. natural gas pipeline industry spends approximately $50 million annually to comply with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s increasingly stringent inspection regulations. Current legislation requires that more than 300,000 miles of transmission pipeline be inspected at least once a year. The reduction of detrimental greenhouse gas emissions and the compliance with pipeline integrity management regulations may be attained by using a device to detect liquid and gas pipeline leaks.

Qualitative Risk Assessment of Gas Pipelines by Using of Indexing System Method in GIS environment
Nowadays the urbanization is developing rapidly, and it leads to growing demand for gas; which resulted in denser pipeline network, by the following increase in the pipeline network congestion, accidents will become inevitable. So Pipelines are a remarkable source of hazard for their adjacent society. Usually Indexing system method is used for pipe line risk assessment. This method assesses ri...
متن کاملModel Based Pipeline Monitoring with Leak Detection
We design a leak detection system consisting of an adaptive Luenbergertype observer based on a set of two coupled one dimensional first order nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations governing the flow dynamics. It is assumed that measurements are only available at the inlet and outlet of the pipe, and output injection is applied in the form of boundary conditions. Heuristic update l...
متن کاملINVERSE FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANALYSIS FOR PIPELINES LEAK DETECTION USING THE PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION
Inverse Transient Analysis (ITA) is a powerful approach for leak detection of pipelines. When the pipe transient flow is analyzed in frequency domain the ITA is called Inverse Frequency Response Analysis (IFRA). To implement an IFRA for leak detection, a transient state is initiated in the pipe by fast closure of the downstream end valve. Then, the pressure time history at the valve location is...
متن کاملA Fundamental Approach to Oil and Gas Leaks Detection
Leak detection is a very important step in the production and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines. It is needed to check tightness specifications and to ensure other installation specifications are fulfilled. In this paper some pipeline leak detection methodologies are studied to come up with a design structure that could ease pipeline leak detection and monitoring via Google earth. A common d...

Many fluids transported by pipelines are hazardous. It is therefore often necessary to install leak detection (and localization) systems (LDS), especially due to legal regulations like • the Code for Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49 Part 195 [1], API 1130 2 Ed. [2], both for the USA, or • the Technische Regeln für Fernleitungen (TRFL) (Technical Rules for Pipelines) in Germany [5]. This p...
