Scientific Novelty

The development is a device for the in-line monitoring of field and trunk pipelines transporting non-aggressive liquids and gases, oil, and petroleum products, designed to detect various complications: water accumulations, gas caps, deposits, leaks, and unauthorized/illegal tie-ins. Complication detection is performed by recording a range of parameters, including the dielectric constant of substances, and specialized processing of the obtained data using neural network technologies in office conditions.

Advantages

The spherical shape and specialized material design allow this device to be used without labor-intensive preparatory operations, even in branched pipelines of complex configuration, including sections with varying diameters. Improved recognition algorithms increase the reliability of inspections.

Commercial implementation

The development can be applied in the operation of field and trunk pipelines transporting non-aggressive liquids and gases, oil, and petroleum products.
