Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method of leak detection for underground storage tanks and pipelines adds volatile tracers to the product in the tanks and analyzes the surrounding shallow soil gases for tracer vapors. This method has several advantages : the success of the test is not limited by the size and structural design of the vessels, tanks can be tested at any fill level without taking the tank out of service, the location of a leak along a pipeline is clearly marked by the location of the tracer, and liquid leaks as small as 0.2 liters per hour (lph) can be detected. A limitation is: the backfill material must have some degree of air permeability in the zone above the water table. Several field tests document the success achieved using this method. A tracer leak detection system was installed at Homestead AFB after several other testing methods failed to locate a leak at a valve pit location along approximately 4 kilometers of fuel transfer piping. The leak was detected to the side of the valve pit at a depth of approximately 2.5 meters below the ground surface. Another installation at Edwards AFB involved the collection of 415 soil gas samples along approximately 3, 050 meters of 15.25-centimeter fiberglass pipeline. Fourteen separate leaks were detected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes six chapters aiming to introduce global pipeline inspection and health monitoring technologies comprehensively. The pipeline is the blood vessel of the energy system and a vital lifeline project. After many years of service, the pipeline gradually enters the aging stage. Pipeline inspection and health monitoring can effectively reduce the failure and accident risks of the pipeline, and it is conducive to integrity management. Through case analysis, practitioners can have a deeper understanding of the application of related technologies.
Download or read book Tracers in the Oil Field written by B. Zemel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-01-13 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the application of tracers to a wide variety of oil field operations. It provides the necessary nuclear concepts and techniques which are basic to oil field tracer applications. Laboratory and field techniques are explained and illustrated as are the associated regulatory and safety aspects. Within the book, each area of oil field use is considered separately and specific applications of tracers discussed and relevant literature reviewed. The use of non-radioactive tracers is pointed out wherever it is applicable. Due to the nature of this competitive industry, much research is poorly documented, thus Tracers in the Oil Field aims to make the technology more available to current users in the oil field.

Download or read book Introduction to Pipeline Leak Detection written by Jun Zhang and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipeline spills occur as pipeline infrastructure ages and more hazardous products are transported. Regrettably, too many leak detection systems fail to detect these leaks, and other leak detection systems are ignored by the operators because they are unreliable. Thus, leaks that should have been small spills become disasters that cost pipeline owners millions of dollars. The key to the successful operation of pipeline leak detection systems is management commitment that assures the allocation of sufficient resources to the ongoing maintenance of leak detection systems and their supporting components. Every pipeline operator should consider a role for a leak detection champion who understands how their system works, continually monitors its performance, and supports the Pipeline Controllers. The leak detection system is not "fit-and-forget" and it requires ongoing management which is best achieved in-house with vendor support. Building a companywide leak detection culture, where pipeline leak detection is understood and valued from the top ranks to the field operators will reduce loss of containment incidents. "Introduction to Pipeline Leak Detection" explains the key leak detection technologies deployed to detect leaks on pipelines today in simple concise language that is easily understood by everyone.

Download or read book Fluid Product Pipeline Leak Detection from Airborne Platforms written by Resources Technology Corporation and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer simulation program in conjunction with an instrument systems analysis program lead to the conclusion that microwave radiometry working in concert with thermal infrared systems could detect petroleum product pipeline leaks. The utilization of these systems from an airborne platform would result in a low false alarm rate and a high probability of leak detection. A demonstration experiment was designed to test the simulation program. This demonstration was carried out in west Texas along three different pipeline sections with eighteen individual leak circumstances. All data, airborne and ground, was reduced, correlated and analyzed to demonstrate remote sensor capabilities. It was found that the apparent microwave (13.7 GHz) temperature of a leak increases significantly compared to surface material containing no oil. Also, a soil containing oil caused a decrease in polarization contrast. Thermal infrared showed a warm area surrounded by a cool halo. When these circumstances all occurred together a leak was identified, proving the correctness of the original computer simulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Technology Application Guide is designed to help the user select and apply leak detection and location equipment for pressurized, high-capacity, underground, fuel-pipelines typical of hydrant systems at Navy bases. Many variables must be considered when researching, selecting, and purchasing underground pipleline leak detection equipment. These variables include regulations, technology type, climate, soil type, groundwater, funding, and site logistics. At this time, there is no commercially available technology that meets all of the Navy's leak detection and location needs. Different leak detection and location problems can be solved with different technologies, including tracers, temperature-compensated pressure testing, and smart-pigging. This Technology Application Guide provides the user with the tools required for solving this problem. Specifically, the Guide explains: 1) How to determine the applicable pipeline leak detection regulations. 2) How the different leak detection and location technologies work. 3) Which technologies are best suited to solve different problems. 4) Which technologies are evolving for future applications. 5) Identify point of contacts for pipe leak detection (PLD) within the Department of Defense (DOD) and in private industry.
