This report presents the results of an extensive literature survey to collect and assemble information on the current state of the tracer technology with the objective of selecting promising techniques that could serve to Positively identify and…
Describes structural-acoustic sensing and alert systems that continuously monitor a pipeline without the need for external power. When bonded to a pipeline, these sensors can detect minute and high-frequency strains. The specific focus here is on…
Monitoring and inspection of pipelines are essential for the optimal operation of the energy infrastructure of the nation. However, methods that are currently used for pipeline inspection and diagnostics are typically either slow, do not provide high…
A leak detection evaluation framework has been developed for use pipe pipeline operators to identify and evaluate candidate external leak detection systems intended for possible deployment on onshore transmission pipelines and assist operators in…
The detection of pipeline leaks is essential for pipeline operators. The quicker the leak can be identified and located, the less product is likely to be lost from the pipeline. Reducing the loss of product results in a reduction of monetary…
Miniature natural gas sensors weighing a few hundred grams with 10 ppb s-1 sensitivity towards methane and ppb s-1 sensitivity towards methane and ethane present the energy industry with cost effective ways to improve safety, comply with State and…
