Pipelines International — March 2013

Leaks in pipelines have always been a

concern due to the implied risks and the

costs associated. This becomes even more

critical with hazardous fluids that pose

risk to life and the environment. This

article presents the basis of acoustic

leak-detection technology and the new

systems introduced by Asel-Tech, a

leading manufacturer of leak-detection

systems since 2003.

Risks can include risk to equipment, personnelsafety, environmental contamination,production losses, cleanup, medical expensesand lawsuits. Small leaks have the potential toturn into an expensive and dangerous event if not detected and stopped in time.

The earlier the leak-detection and follow-upremedial action, the lower the consequences.Recent regulations in many countries arebecoming more exigent regarding pipelines and environmental protection. Assuch, leak-detection systems play an important role in safe pipeline operation byhelping operators to quickly identify and react to a spill.
