Canada and the United States have vast energy resources, supported by thousands of kilometers (miles) of pipeline infrastructure built and maintained each year. Whether the pipeline runs through remote territory or passing through local city centers, keeping commodities flowing safely is a critical part of day-to-day operation for any pipeline. Real-time leak detection systems have become a critical system that companies require in order to provide safe operations, protection of the environment and compliance with regulations. The function of a leak detection system is the ability to identify and confirm a leak event in a timely and precise manner. Flow measurement devices are a critical input into many leak detection systems and in order to ensure flow measurement accuracy, custody transfer grade liquid ultrasonic meters (as defined in API MPMS chapter 5.8) can be utilized to provide superior accuracy, performance and diagnostics. This paper presents a sample of real-time data collected from a field install base of over 245 custody transfer grade liquid ultrasonic meters currently being utilized in pipeline leak detection applications. The data helps to identify upstream instrumentation anomalies and illustrate the abilities of the utilization of diagnostics within the liquid ultrasonic meters to further improve current leak detection real time transient models (RTTM) and pipeline operational procedures. The paper discusses considerations addressed while evaluating data and understanding the importance of accuracy within the metering equipment utilized. It also elaborates on significant benefits associated with the utilization of the ultrasonic meter’s capabilities and the importance of diagnosing other pipeline issues and uncertainties outside of measurement errors.

Grabcut Algorithm

In the video monitoring of piglets in pig farms, study of the precise segmentation of foreground objects is the work of advanced research on target tracking and behavior recognition. In view of the noninteractive and real-time requirements of such a video monitoring system, this paper proposes a method of image segmentation based on an improved noninteractive GrabCut algorithm. The functions of preserving edges and noise reduction are realized through bilateral filtering. An adaptive threshold segmentation method is used to calculate the local threshold and to complete the extraction of the foreground target. The image is simplified by morphological processing; the background interference pixels, such as details in the grille and wall, are filtered, and the foreground target marker matrix is established. The GrabCut algorithm is used to split the pixels of multiple foreground objects. By comparing the segmentation results of various algorithms, the results show that the segmentation algorithm proposed in this paper is efficient and accurate, and the mean range of structural similarity is [0.88, 1]. The average processing time is 1606 ms, and this method satisfies the real-time requirement of an agricultural video monitoring system. Feature vectors such as edges and central moments are calculated and the database is well established for feature extraction and behavior identification. This method provides reliable foreground segmentation data for the intelligent early warning of a video monitoring system.

Nowadays, there are several technical solutions for remote monitoring of the parameters of pipelines in thermal insulation. The analysis of such solutions is presented in the article. The authors proposed an algorithm for calculating the pressure drop in a stopped pipeline, suitable for determining leaks. The value of the algorithm increase due to the possibility of its use for calculating the parameters of hydrotesting in conditions of significant temperature differences. This implies the possibility of integrating the obtained relationships into parametric leak detection systems. The article also considers different proposals for increasing the efficiency of using pipelines equipped with SKIN systems. The authors proposed a diagnostic robotic device capable of overcoming complex sections of SKIN systems, as well as monitoring the system along its entire length.

Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan khususnya jaringan sangatlah pesat oleh karena itu dibutuhkan sistem jaringan komputer yang sangat canggih. Dimana permasalahan yang sering terjadi disebuah perusahaan ataupun institusi yang sudah memakai server sering sekali kurangnya fleksibilitas dalam pengawasan server karena mudah sekali terjadi human error yang mengarah kepada admin jaringan yang bertugas untuk mengawasi server. Sebagai solusi dari permasalahan tersebut dengan menggunakan sistem Zabbix sebagai Network Monitoring System karena Zabbix sudah memiliki tampilan GUI berupa map dan grafik sehingga membantu pengaturan administrasi maupun sistemnya. Implementasi Bot sudah banyak digunakan dengan keunggulan dalam keandalan untuk menyediakan data ke pengguna yang tidak terbatas oleh waktu. Dengan Bot ini admin jaringan dengan mengirimkan perintah ke Bot maka informasi yang diinginkan akan diberikan ke admin jaringan tanpa harus mengecek langsung kondisi server secara real time.

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 197168, “Digitalize Asset-Integrity Management by Remote Monitoring,” by Mohamed Sahid, ADNOC, prepared for the 2019 Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, Abu Dhabi, 11-14 November. The paper has not been peer reviewed. Monitoring of corrosion in process pipelines has always been of paramount importance in ensuring plant-asset integrity. Similarly, steam traps play an important role in ensuring steam quality and, thus, the integrity of critical assets in the plant. The complete paper discusses these two aspects of monitoring asset integrity - real-time corrosion monitoring and real-time steam-trap monitoring - as implemented by the operator. The authors highlight the importance of digitization by means of implementing wireless technology and making data available in remote work stations in real time. Real-Time Corrosion-Monitoring System Corrosion coupons and electrical resistance probes are among the most-tried and -tested methods to monitor corrosion, but the authors detail shortcomings of these systems, focusing their efforts on the option of using nonintrusive ultrasonic sensors for corrosion monitoring. Fixed ultrasonic thickness (UT) monitoring systems measure a localized thickness of vessel wall or pipe through the use of sound waves. They are the fastest method to measure wall thickness and wall loss reliably. The wall thickness is calculated from the reflection of the ultrasonic signal at both external and internal surfaces. UT systems normally include a transducer and a pulser/receiver. The type of transducer used for this application is the ultrasonic transducer, which can be either piezoelectric or variable-capacitive. The pulser generates short electric pulses of energy at a constant rate, which are converted by the transducer into short, high-frequency ultrasonic sound pulses. These pulses are then directed into the material. Any discontinuation or impurity in the path of the ultrasonic sound wave will be reflected and received by the transducer, transformed into an electric signal, and amplified by the receiver to be projected onto the display (in the case of portable UT instruments). Depending on the intensity shown on the display, information about the impurity or discontinuity, such as size, orientation, and location, can be derived accurately. The shortcomings of using portable UT sensors have been overcome by the introduction of permanent UT sensors, which provide wall-thickness measurement continuously at one location in real time. Because these sensors remain fixed at one location for years, it is possible to analyze corrosion at a single point over time, thus detecting early corrosion onset. Real-Time UT Gauging. The operator installed the real-time corrosion-monitoring system in its offshore associated gas (OAG) unit. A UK-based vendor provided UT sensors along with data-management and -viewing software to support data interpretation. Twenty locations were identified in various plants of the OAG unit on the basis of criticality and previously recorded corrosion levels.
