Abstract
Leak detection in transmission pipelines is crucially important for safe operation. Delay in detecting leaks leads to loss of property and human life in fire hazards and loss of valuable material. Leaking of methane and hydrocarbon gas causes negative impacts on the eco system such as global warming and air pollution. Pipeline leak detection systems play a key role in minimization of the probability of occurrence of leaks and hence their impacts. Today there are many available technologies in the domain of leak detection. This paper provides an overview on external and internal leak detection and location systems and a summary of comparison regarding performance of each system.
