Pipeline Management

Fiber optic technology provides a ideal thermal profiling tool for use with pipeline systems and installations.

Our systems detect the temperature distribution within the pipeline to deliver leak detection and trace heat monitoring solutions.

SIL and ATEX approvals ensure our ability to deliver customized solutions for pipelines carrying:

• Sulphur  
• Hydrocarbon gas
• Steam
• LNG
• Natural gas

Sensa systems monitor temperature in real time and provide ongoing analysis of the temperature footprint to reflect the critical nature of the heating programme.

Our solution will alarm if temperatures exceed agreed levels and can be integrated to trigger the shut down process through specific industry approvals.  Re-melt and cool down sequences can also be monitored using the same system.

Leaks can be detected by distributed location of the temperature signature derived from the Joule Thompson cooling effect of escaping gas.

Potential leaks can be pinpointed to within 1m accuracy to minimise downtime and enable safety protocols to be prioritised.

Pipelines are easily measured and monitored using fiber optic temperature sensing technology offering peace of mind and plant security in a SIL and ATEX approved package.
