Pipelines are an integral part of the oil and gas supply chain. They are used extensively from the transmission of crude materials to refineries and distribution depots, to downstream from those depots and refineries to tankers and end users.
Transmitting gas and oil through pipelines is the most cost-effective means of transporting these goods. However, their vital infrastructure is susceptible to natural elements that can cause slow but certain corrosion. Additional factors such as geohazards, human errors in excavation and operation, as well as intentional tampering, destruction, and theft also pose serious concerns. The losses caused by leaks in the U.S. reached over $300 million in 2018 alone.
Traditional SCADA systems embedded in a pipeline will provide accurate flow data and other information, but only for those far between transmission points. They do not provide adequate granular data or clear enough visibility along the entirety of the pipeline. Avante’s Integrated Pipeline Integrity Monitoring System is designed to provide a holistic view of any oil or gas pipeline, simplifying your ability to perform preventative maintenance and keep ahead of any potential failures or disasters.
Avante’s patent-pending Pipeline Integrity Monitoring System incorporates quantitative sensor modules that are easily installed onto the surface of the pipe. This cost-effective design allows the device to monitor any potential hazards that could potentially damage the pipeline’s integrity, such as human errors or intentional tampering. They are also designed to be self-contained, self-powered, and self-monitoring at all critical choke points for full supply chain visibility, safety, and security.
