Overcoming data access challenges to provide an effective leak detection system
As pipeline industry challenges continue to grow, it’s never been more important to make maximum use of the data available for leak detection. Crucial to this is the deployment of hardware that allows pipeline operators to access more data, resulting in a more effective leak detection system. In this article, Sales and Senior Research Engineer...

Leak & Theft Detection Strategies: Integrating Established And Innovative Technologies
Pipeline leak and theft detection can be done through various technologies. There is no si ngle best method as each pipeline is different and ideally, it is best to integrate several different methods within any detection system. Two of the most popular and established methods are flow balance and negative pressure wave, however, both have their...
