Abstract
Leak detection in transmission pipelines is crucially
important for safe operation. Delay in detecting leaks leads to loss
of property and human life in fire hazards and loss of valuable
material. Leaking of methane and hydrocarbon gas causes negative
impacts on the eco system such as global warming and air pollution.
Pipeline leak detection systems play a key role in minimization of
the probability of occurrence of leaks and hence their impacts.
Today there are many available technologies in the domain of leak
detection. This paper provides an overview on external and internal
leak detection and location systems and a summary of comparison
regarding performance of each system.
