REMOTE LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM

REMOTE LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM
Distributed Leak Detection System operating principle is based on the detection of pressure transient waves caused by the onset of a pipeline leak. The pressure transient waves our system detects are caused by the sudden drop in pressure, and the immediate line re-pressurization at the location of a leak onset. This onset causes pressure oscillations in the fluid pressure and propagates as a sonic wave signal at the speed of sound through the fluid or gas, away from the leak location in opposite directions guided by the pipeline wall. Field sensors installed at opposite ends of the pipeline segment will intercept and transmit the leak signal to corresponding remote unit. This one is responsible for the acquisition and signal conditioning from the Field sensors and sending to CMS. The signals are processed by sophisticated algorithms, including Distributed Network and other specific components of leak detection module.
