| Summary: | Pipelines leaks normally begin at poor joints, corrosions and cracks, and slowly progress to
a major leakage. Accidents, terror, sabotage, or theft are some of human factor of pipeline leak. The
primary purpose of Pipeline leak detection systems (PLDS) is to assist pipeline operators in detecting
and locating leaks earlier. PLDS systems provide an alarm and display other related data to the
pipeline operators for their decision-making. It is also beneficial because PLDS can enhance their
productivity by reduced downtime and inspection time. PLDS can be divided into internally based or
computational modeling PLDS Systems and external hardware based PLDS. The purpose of this
paper is to study the various types of leak detection systems based on internally systemtodefine a set
of key criteria for evaluating the characteristics of this system and provide an evaluation method of
leak detection technology as a guideline of choosing the appropriate system. |
