Leakage monitoring Implement continuous monitoring of your pipeline with our solutions for time-synchronous data acquisition and transmission.

Pipeline leakages can have serious consequences. The causes are not only wear and tear, but also unauthorized access to the product, such as oil, hydrogen, ammonia, or methanol, transported through the pipeline. Sensor stations positioned along the pipeline at distances of 50 km or more register any problems that occur. But it can take time to find and fix the leak. To curb personal injury, property damage, and environmental damage, and to comply with legal requirements, pipelines therefore require high-performance monitoring solutions.

Reliable data transmission from the field devices is the foundation for solid decisions in the control room.The recorded flow, pressure, and temperature data are time-stamped precisely at the various measuring stations and then transmitted to the control system. The particularly robust components ensure reliable data transmission over the corresponding ranges even under harsh ambient conditions with temperature fluctuations. 

The transmission options, such as secured Internet connections via VPN tunnels and SHDSL, cellular communication, Radioline, and WLAN connections, are adapted to the local conditions in each case and ensure optimum data transmission.

Based on our PLCnext Technology ecosystem, you can connect and use any sensors already in the field. A wide range of intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe I/O modules are available for this.

Install new sensors on the pipeline to increase accuracy. This will be coordinated with our partner Krohne and you.
