The Pipeline Contamination Monitor called LineVu from Process Vision is a video-based system designed to detect contamination in high pressure natural gas systems, enable alarm notifications and allow access to live video to both office-based and field-based engineers. Detection of Pipeline Contamination using Image Processing When natural gas is processed, liquids are injected to remove[…]
Process Vision takes pride in developing the latest technology. Effective monitoring of gas/liquid separators can improve safety and profitability of an asset. If process failures are not quickly detected, contaminants can enter the export line leading to unsafe practices, compensation claims or the supply valve is closed to the pipeline network.
Process Vision believes that with improved data, field engineers can make better and more informed decisions. Effective monitoring of gas/liquid separators can improve safety and profitability of an asset.
If process failures are not quickly detected, contaminants such as liquids, solids and hydrates can enter the export line leading to compensation claims or even closure of a tie-back, causing downtime for all assets linked to the tie-back. Significant remediation costs can be incurred.
Image processing is getting increasingly powerful. For more difficult processing tasks, our team combines traditional image processing with cutting edge machine learning systems to develop highly sensitive, multi-level alarm conditions.
