Pipeline Leak Detection Training Course Description

Pipeline Leak Detection Course is a 4-day training boot camp covers all aspects of pipeline leak detection system. Pipeline leak detection systems can

help minimize the liability of pipeline operating companies. The early identification and accurate location of a pipeline incident are essential for protecting a

companys reputation.

Leak detection is a good tool for quickly raising alarms for theft, identifying product loss due to wear and corrosion to the pipe, and/or preventing

environmental events caused by spills. Whether driven by safety and production concerns or regulatory requirements, the method chosen for leak detection

has a significant impact on its effectiveness.

Although moving crude oil, gas, liquid and hazardous materials in pipelines is the safest means of transport, a number of incidents have been associated

with this method. Statistics from the Office of Pipeline Safety within the U.S. Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety

Administration show that over the twenty year period from 1991 to 2010 there were 5,636 significant incidents involving 378 fatalities, US$ 440,652,471

property damage and 2,566,699 gross barrels spilled in the USA alone.

Pipeline incidents incur liabilities to pipeline operators, pipeline shareholders and owner of the volume lost. Such liabilities can range from cleaning up cost

and damage compensation to criminal offences.

Major liabilities are usually associated with major leak events without a reliable pipeline leak detection system. Therefore investing in a proven and reliable

leak detection system can help pipeline companies minimize the consequences of a pipeline incident.

To maintain the above performance standard, it is necessary for the pipeline operating companies and leak detection system to insure that:

The field instruments are working correctly.

The SCADA and telecommunication system are available.

The leak detection system is optimized to current operating and instrument conditions.

Alarms and anomalies are addressed timely.

Operators have confidence in the leak detection system at all times.
