  • Pipeline leak detection system
    Patent number: 8479566
    Abstract: A pipeline leak detection system, includes, in combination, a pipeline; pressure sensors positioned at regular spaced intervals along the pipeline to monitor pressure within the pipeline; and a monitoring station receiving data from the pressure sensors. The monitoring station establishes a normal pressure profile of relative pressures recorded by the pressure sensors along the pipeline in the absence of a leak and issues an alarm should one of the pressure sensors provide data which is uncharacteristic of the normal pressure profile, indicating a leak in the vicinity of the one pressure sensor.
    Type: Grant
