Distributed fiber optic sensing is an advanced technology for pipeline monitoring that utilizes the capabilities of fiber optics to identify and pinpoint disruptions across extensive pipeline networks with high accuracy. This technique offers continuous, real-time feedback over large distances. By integrating these sensors throughout the pipeline, operators can quickly detect potential problems such as leaks, structural faults, or security breaches, thereby maintaining the integrity of the pipeline infrastructure and greatly enhancing both operational efficiency and environmental safety.
Depending on what you need to detect, different types of signals might be required, each with its own sensitivity level. Pipeline leaks can often be identified through pressure, acoustic, or temperature signals, depending on how the cables are laid out; whereas intrusion events are typically identified by acoustic signals with distinct patterns. We can leverage our expertise to assist you in designing a monitoring system that fulfills your requirements. For more information, explore our tailored solutions.
