A two-module system that incorporates a radiation detector and tracking system has been developed to localize the leakage in underground industrial pipelines using the nuclear technique. This is the state of the art of radiotracer approach which overrules the conventional radiotracer technology in on-line determination of leak location. A conventional technology is cumbersome and laborious, time consuming and expensive. That implies the number of dug pits that should be excavated to assign an individual detection system, number of detectors to be assigned with respect to the length of buried pipe and the number of manpower to be deployed to supervise and monitor the radiation works. Meanwhile, the SMART nuclear technique is cost effective, requires minimal supervision, provides fast results and is accurate. The water proof of a 2-module encapsulated system is launched at the upstream of the pipeline and picks up the radiation signals that mimics the leak points and the data is stored in the data logger. Upon retrieval of the system, the data is analyzed to determine the exact location of the stealth leak. In this study, a dry experiment was conducted to assess the performance of the developed prototype.

摘要

A two-module system that incorporates a radiation detector and tracking system has been developed to localize the leakage in underground industrial pipelines using the nuclear technique. This is the state of the art of radiotracer approach which overrules the conventional radiotracer technology in on-line determination of leak location. A conventional technology is cumbersome and laborious, time consuming and expensive. That implies the number of dug pits that should be excavated to assign an individual detection system, number of detectors to be assigned with respect to the length of buried pipe and the number of manpower to be deployed to supervise and monitor the radiation works. Meanwhile, the SMART nuclear technique is cost effective, requires minimal supervision, provides fast results and is accurate. The water proof of a 2-module encapsulated system is launched at the upstream of the pipeline and picks up the radiation signals that mimics the leak points and the data is stored in the data logger. Upon retrieval of the system, the data is analyzed to determine the exact location of the stealth leak. In this study, a dry experiment was conducted to assess the performance of the developed prototype.
