چکیده

Leak detection systems range from simple, visual line walking and checking ones to complex arrangements of hard-ware and software. No one method is universally applicable and operating requirements dictate which method is the most cost effective. The aim of the paper is to review the basic techniques of leak detection that are currently in use. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed and some indications of applicability are outlined.

INVERSE 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...

Leak Detection in Gas Pipelines - a Knowledge Based Approach

Leak detection systems are a fundamental part of the management system associated with any long distance pipeline. Such systems are necessary to avoid or reduce environmental and economical losses in case a leak develops in the pipeline. There are several solutions, with different efficiency and cost-effectiveness, for this problem. One of the most appealing is the use of software based leak de...

Neural Network and Data Fusion in the Application Research of Natural Gas Pipeline Leakage Detection

For natural gas pipeline, it has a leak or not is critical. The most commonly problems in the pipeline leak detection methods are the difficulties to identify, inaccuracy to locate, thus, the natural gas pipeline detection is difficult to be applied, therefore, the use of neural network multi-sensor data fusion of the natural gas pipeline leak detection is particularly important. In this paper,...

State-of-the-Art in Leak Detection and Localisation

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...
