Title: Computerized control permits applying volume balance for pipeline integrity 150

Journal Article · · Oil Gas J.; (United States)

Volume balance is an effective technique for monitoring line-integrity in certain liquids pipelines. The details of implementation often mean the difference between a useful dispatcher tool and a sinkhole for system resources. These implementation details are far too important to leave to a vendor's discretion. The design of a line-integrity monitor must take into account the presentation of sufficient information to allow the system dispatcher to analyze any alarms generated by the system. Timely action by the dispatcher is essential to the success of the line-integrity monitor.
