Pipelines are the arteries of modern industry, transporting valuable resources across vast distances. However, they are vulnerable to leaks and theft, leading to significant financial losses, environmental damage, and safety hazards. Traditional monitoring methods can be slow, inaccurate, or prone to false alarms. Stingray Technologies understands these challenges. Our Stingray PipeSecure™ LDS is a sophisticated, multi-layered system designed to provide robust, real-time detection of leaks and illicit tapping, giving you the confidence to operate efficiently and responsibly.
The PipeSecure™ LDS leverages a powerful combination of proven methodologies, primarily Negative Pressure Wave (NPW) and Volume Balance, integrated through the industry-leading Atmos Wave Flow™ software engine. Negative Pressure Wave (NPW): When a leak or theft event occurs, it generates a distinct negative pressure wave that travels through the pipeline fluid in both directions. High-fidelity WIKA® pressure transmitters and Atmos Eclipse™ data acquisition units, strategically placed along the pipeline, detect these waves. Advanced algorithms analyze the arrival times and characteristics of these waves to rapidly identify and precisely locate the event. Volume Balance: The system continuously reconciles the volume of product entering and exiting a pipeline segment, accounting for operational changes and line pack through a Real-Time Transient Model (RTTM). Discrepancies indicating a loss of product trigger an alarm. This dual-method approach, enhanced by advanced algorithms and robust hardware, ensures high sensitivity to even small events while minimizing false alarms.
