Innovative Vision System for Detecting Liquid in Gas Pipelines
The idea is to introduce a non-intrusive vision system at various points in gas pipelines to detect liquid contamination. Liquid contamination in pipelines poses safety, reliability, and commercial challenges. The proposed system will use a novel pressurized window, containment system, and vision technology to confirm the presence of liquid without interfering with routine pipeline maintenance. This early detection system aims to prevent commercial and urgent safety issues, providing significant safety, economic, and social benefits. The system can be retro-fitted onto existing pipelines globally, offering a competitive advantage in the energy supply market.
