Unmanned aerial vehicle system for pipeline inspection
This paper deals with the inspection of pipeline by means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The different methods of pipeline inspection, its technical and economic efficiency have been examined. The theoretical and experimental base for air monitoring on base of On Board Infrared Equipment (OBIE) have been examined. The method of pipeline inspection by means of UAV has been proposed. The descr...

متن کاملA mixed integer nonlinear programming model for optimizing a gas pipeline transmission linear network
The technical equipment developed and used in both installation and operation processes in refineries, oil and gas pipelines, and gas booster stations has always been expensive. Hence, managers at different organizational levels are keen to find methods to control and reduce these costs. Generally speaking, the operators in a gas booster station choose the operating devices without considering ...
متن کاملPrediction of Temperature Profile of a Buried Gas Pipeline Through Utilization of Corresponding States Principle
A new analytical equation for prediction of temperature profile of a buried gas pipeline is developed. Utility of this equation is illustrated by its application to corresponding states principle. The resulting equation is tested through prediction of the actual Schorre data. It is shown that the new equation can predict temperature profile more accurately than the others without using any char...
متن کاملDual-camera, high-resolution aerial assessment of pipeline revegetation.
Energy-extraction results in significant disturbance to rangelands in Wyoming and other western US states. Although reclamation is required by law, US General Accounting Office reports from 1999 and 2005 are clear that affected government agencies have--over much of the past decade--had difficulty accomplishing mandated environmental monitoring of extraction-related disturbance. We evaluated tw...
