AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE GAS CONTENT AND PARAMETERS OF TEMPORARY SEALING DEVICES ON MAIN GAS PIPELINES

Abstract

Control of the gas transportation process is the main direction in the operation of gas pipelines. The main specificity of the operating conditions of control systems lies in their geographical location along the main gas pipelines. As a rule, the facilities in operation are at a considerable distance from the control points, so automation should be used to control several parameters in the gas pipelines. The control of gas contamination is a complex and responsible process, the aim of which is to detect and prevent possible gas leaks that could lead to negative consequences, including fires, explosions and pollution. Continuous air monitoring includes monitoring and analysis of air composition for harmful substances. This makes it possible to quickly determine the presence and concentration of hazardous substances in the air and to take measures to prevent and minimize their impact on workers, as well as to create healthy health and hygiene conditions for staff.The article is devoted to the safety control system, which is designed to provide an automated continuous control over the gas-air medium and parameters of temporary sealing devices during work on the linear part of the main gas pipeline. Its application makes it possible to increase the level of safe working conditions of employees during work on main gas pipelines by reducing the probability of occurrence of accidents and related losses.
