Abstract
Abstract : This Technology Application Guide is designed to help the user select and apply leak detection and location equipment for pressurized, high-capacity, underground, fuel-pipelines typical of hydrant systems at Navy bases. Many variables must be considered when researching, selecting, and purchasing underground pipleline leak detection equipment. These variables include regulations, technology type, climate, soil type, groundwater, funding, and site logistics. At this time, there is no commercially available technology that meets all of the Navy's leak detection and location needs. Different leak detection and location problems can be solved with different technologies, including tracers, temperature-compensated pressure testing, and smart-pigging. This Technology Application Guide provides the user with the tools required for solving this problem. Specifically, the Guide explains: 1) How to determine the applicable pipeline leak detection regulations. 2) How the different leak detection and location technologies work. 3) Which technologies are best suited to solve different problems. 4) Which technologies are evolving for future applications. 5) Identify point of contacts for pipe leak detection (PLD) within the Department of Defense (DOD) and in private industry.
