The challenges for effective leak detection on large diameter pipelines

Every pipeline has its own personality and behaves differently. No single leak detection technology is the best solution for every type of pipeline. Large diameter pipelines have come under greater scrutiny from regulators. This paper offers examples of the diverse challenges for different leak detection systems (LDS) installed on large diameter liquid or gas pipelines.

Texas: non-intrusive pressure sensors provide leak detection on a multi phase pipeline

The changing composition of oil, water and gas in multiphase products has historically made leak detection very challenging on multiphase pipelines. This year, Atmos successfully installed a leak detection system with proprietary non-intrusive pressure sensors on a multi-phase pipeline.

Test your pipeline leak detection systems

Best engineering practices recommend that pipeline leak detection systems are tested regularly.

Take off to Alaska

Matthew Savidge discusses one of the many great things about working as a Project Engineer for Atmos International is travelling to new and exciting places. He was very happy to receive a project in Alaska; a place he had long been keen to visit.

Six standards that affect your pipeline leak detection program

Given the current focus on pipeline safety, leak detection, rupture detection and incident response, here's a summary on the key standards that affect pipeline operators.
