Krohne, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of solutions in industrial process instrumentation, highlights PipePatrol, its latest advancement in pipeline leak detection technology.
Krohne’s experts recently spoke about PipePatrol at the Appalachian Gas Measurement Short Course (AGMSC) 2024, utilizing AI technology and sophisticated modeling software to simulate a leak alarm and allowing attendees to observe how Krohne’s CPU-based Leak Detection Systems can distinguish between genuine leak signatures and nuisance alarms. PipePatrol helps companies drive towards net zero emission goals while reducing control room monitoring fatigue.
“Our technology is designed to provide accurate and reliable leak detection, ensuring the safety and integrity of pipeline systems,” says Angel Larrea, Business Development Manager – Leak Detection Systems at Krohne. “By offering measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), we help operators reduce fatigue and better handle true leaks when they arise. Our CPU systems streamline monitoring processes, allowing for quicker response times and enhancing overall operational efficiency.”
The PipePatrol system’s advanced features are instrumental in minimizing environmental impact and enhancing safety. By accurately detecting and localizing leaks, the technology not only prevents environmental damage but also supports companies in meeting stringent regulatory requirements.
The PipePatrol pipeline management system is a comprehensive suite of modules for leak, theft and line break detection, plus monitoring of tightness and lifetime stress which can be applied to oil, gas and multiproduct pipes. Krohne’s solutions are aligned with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainable practices.
Krohne’s latest advancement in detecting true leaks enables control room monitors to react and stop leaks more efficiently. PipePatrol showcased Krohne’s dedication to providing state-of-the-art solutions for the oil and gas industry. The company’s innovative technologies continue to set the standard for pipeline monitoring and leak detection, ensuring the highest levels of safety and environmental protection.
