causes of leaks in a pipeline
Pipeline corrosion and wear,
Operation outside of design limits, Unintentional third party damage, Intentional damage
Failure to detect leaks can be broken into 4 loss categories
Loss of life and property
Loss of product and downtime to fix pipeline
Environmental impact
Fines and legal suits
methods used in detection of gas and/or oil leaks
Physical inspection of the area Add an odorant Line flow calculations Line pressure measurement Noise detection Pigging Computer based
PIG
Pipeline Inspection Gauge
pigging Purposes
Utility pigs – clean the pipeline of debris or seal the pipeline
Cleaning – remove solids or semi-solid deposits
Inspecting
Monitoring
Batch separation
Which pipelines cannot be pigged?
pipelines with butterfly valve because valve size is smaller than pipe size.
