NGL Pipeline Leak Detection

Project Location: Alberta

Responsibilities

  • Pipeline hydraulic testing to determine roughness factors.
  • Program dynamic model
  • Program leak detection system and HMI
  • Commissioning

Description

  • Leak detection system for an 8 and 10 inch pipeline operating in parallel with a maximum capacity of 100 MBPD.
  • System required an on-line dynamic model to accomplish line balance on a mass basis during transient upsets including flow and pressure fluctuations.
