Detecção de bolsas de ar/gás

Proteja sua tubulação contra danos potenciais causados por picos de pressão e corrosão

Como a INGU Pipers® realiza a detecção de bolsas de ar/gás

É crucial inspecionar uma tubulação em busca de bolsas de ar, pois elas podem prejudicar o funcionamento adequado da tubulação e causar problemas de segurança.

A solução Pipers® encontra bolsas de ar/gás com um sensor acústico de detecção de vazamento ao longo do fluxo da sua tubulação. Devido à sua natureza de flutuação livre, não há ruído de fundo, o que torna a Pipers® uma ferramenta de detecção de bolsas de ar/gás altamente eficiente.

Com base na inspeção da Pipers® , os operadores de tubulações obtêm informações importantes sobre o local de instalação de válvulas de liberação de ar para mitigar os riscos causados por bolsas de ar/gás.

Vantagens da utilização da Pipers® para detecção de bolsas de ar/gás

Inspecionar uma tubulação em busca de bolsas de ar é crucial, pois ar retido pode afetar significativamente o fluxo de líquido dentro da tubulação, levando à redução da eficiência, possíveis danos ao sistema devido aos picos de pressão, perdas elevadas de energia e corrosão.

Use Cases: Pipers® for Air/Gas Pocket Detection

Inspecting a pipeline for air/gas pockets is crucial because trapped air can significantly disrupt the flow of liquid within the pipeline, leading to reduced efficiency, potential damage to the system due to pressure surges, increased energy losses, and even corrosion; essentially, air pockets can hinder the proper functioning of the pipeline and pose safety concerns.

Applications in High Consequence Areas

Leak detection is especially crucial in high consequence areas such as river crossings, road crossings, and pipelines passing through or under lakes. In these sensitive environments, even minor leaks can lead to significant environmental damage and regulatory penalties. Pipers® provide the reliable and accurate detection needed to safeguard these areas. Their ability to pinpoint leaks ensures that repairs can be made quickly and efficiently, minimizing any potential impact. At INGU, we are committed to enhancing pipeline safety and reliability. By integrating advanced sensor technology with AI-driven analytics and user-friendly visualization tools, we provide pipeline operators with the insights they need to maintain the integrity of their infrastructure. Choose INGU’s Pipers® for a smarter, safer approach to leak detection.

O que mais os INGU Pipers® podem fazer?

Detecção de vazamentos

Os Pipers® registram todos os sons enquanto se movem pelo fluxo através da tubulação, o que os torna sensíveis até mesmo aos menores vazamentos.

Detecção de bolsas de ar/gás

Os Pipers® usam um sensor acústico para identificar as assinaturas de dados exclusivas de bolsas de ar/gás dentro da tubulação.

Confirmação de contenção

Os Pipers® inspecionam a tubulação em condições operacionais, o que os torna uma ferramenta ideal para confirmar a contenção sem interromper as operações.

Inspeção de sedimentos

Os Pipers® realizam 100 medições de pressão por segundo enquanto se movem pela tubulação, o que permite a localização precisa de sedimentos.

Inspeção de linha de nivelamento hidráulico

Os Pipers® medem continuamente a pressão e proporcionam um método altamente detalhado para determinar a linha de nivelamento hidráulico.

Inspeção magnética

Os Pipers® funcionam como uma solução intermediária entre os testes hidrostáticos e as ferramentas convencionais de inspeção de tubulações (ou pigagem inteligente) e ajudam os operadores a manterem suas tubulações seguras.

Detecção de magnetismo

Os Pipers® medem a densidade do fluxo magnético em uma tubulação e permitem a localização de eventuais conexões e revestimentos metálicos em uma tubulação não metálica.

Detecção de torneira quente

As trepanações (“hot tapping”), especialmente as ilegais, representam riscos significativos à integridade, segurança e eficiência operacional das tubulações.

Detecção de curvatura

Quando combinados com dispositivos de pigagem de limpeza, os Pipers® proporcionam o ângulo de curvatura, o raio e a direção.
