Incipient Leak Detection

Today, if a pressure, strain, acoustic, infrared, or temperature sensor suggests an incipient leak is present, a field operator needs to be physically present at the general leak location to verify that a problem exists. Drawbacks include risk of injury for the operator as well as the high costs of responding to false positives-sometimes over hundreds of miles of pipelines. Using ViaLogy SPM™ to fuse inputs from various types of sensors enables earlier and more accurate detection of incipient leaks and their precise location.
