Pipeline Monitoring Experts
Pipeline management presents challenges that are quite unique. Their long length, high value, high risk and often difficult access require continuous monitoring as well as optimized maintenance interventions. The main concern for pipeline owners involves leaks that, if not detected, can severely impact the environment or render the pipeline out of service. Leaks can be detected and localized using Smartec's distributed fiber-optic temperature sensors. Distributed Temperature Monitoring can also detect third-party tampering and non-authorized work before any damage is done to the pipeline. Additionally, pipeline strain distribution and soil movement can be detected and localized by incorporating Smartec's distributed strain monitoring systems.
Smartec is a leading expert in monitoring pipelines containing crude oil, gas, multiphase, LPG, ethylene, LNG, water, heavy and slurry waters, CO2, etc.
Smartec offers a unique array of fiber optic sensors covering all leading sensing technologies and can assist you in identifying the best products for your project and budget.
Additional info on leak detection in cryogenic (LNG) tanks and in chemical /process plants pipelines can be found in the Chemical Plant Health Assessment Systems page.
