Cellular Networks are Retiring 2G & 3G
Is Your Remote Monitoring System Ready? For decades, remote monitoring technology has made it easier for pipeline operators to monitor cathodic protection systems in pipelines that service remote or difficult-to-access locations. With advances in cellular technologies, these solutions have become faster and more reliable. Over the next few years, however, cellular carriers will retire (or ...

SERVOTOUGH SpectraScan 2400 - A tunable filter optical system for on-line and real-time hydrocarbon gas composition analysis
Abstract An all-optical sensor platform has been developed for hydrocarbon gas composition analysis enabling speciation and quantification of the individual hydrocarbon components in multi-component matrices of alkanes, alkynes, alkenes and/or alcohols. It performs such speciation without requiring physical separation of the compounds as performed in chromatography. The flow-through optical ...

Make Way for Iridium
IS YOUR REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM READY FOR THE END OF ISAT M2M? For decades, remote monitoring technology has made it easier for pipeline operators to monitor cathodic protection systems in pipelines that service remote or difficult-to-access locations. Due to limited cellular reception in some of these locations, operators and technicians rely on satellite communications to transmit data to a ...

Who says you need multiple wire breaks for a PCCP pipe to fail?
Abstract On Sunday, October 5, at about 2:30 a.m. a section of 72-inch prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) failed. The 72-inch-diameter PCCP was nominally capable of sustaining an internal pressure of 281 psi. Previous examinations of the pipeline, utilizing the best available nondestructive examination techniques, provided little indication that this pipe section was at risk of failure. ...

1700 miles of the keystone Xl Pipeline: A state, federal and international regulatory concern
Regulatory compliance at the state and federal level grows infinitely more complex when the laws and regulations of six U.S. states, U.S. federal regulations, and the Canadian regulatory regime are intertwined. TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL Pipeline, currently awaiting approval from the U.S. Department of State, is gaining as much attention for its regulatory complexity as it is for ...

Estimating burst probability of water pipelines with a competing hazard model
Because pipeline systems represent more than 80% of the total asset value of water-distribution systems, their management is an important issue for water utilities. A pipeline deteriorates over time after installation and, along with the deterioration, pipe bursts can occur as various types, and the choice of a maintenance and repair strategy will depend on the burst types. It is therefore ...

Ping-Ping, What’s That Sound? Acoustic Fiber Optic Technology Helps Identify Problematic Water Mains
With the deteriorating state of many aging water mains found in cities across North America, urbanites are frequently witnessing unexpected plumes of water erupt as man-made geysers in their own metropolitan backyards. While natural geysers are awe inspiring, urban geysers are much less so, due to their destruction to property, roads and the environment. Because an uninterrupted water flow is ...

Mass flow measurement with SolidFlow 2.0 - Case Study
Application In an opencast mine, brown coal with a very high content of wax is mined. From this coal, raw montan wax is obtained in different process steps. Therefore, the coal is crushed, dried and impinged with an environmentally friendly solvent to separate the wax from the coal. The acquired montan wax is transported into an evaporation system, where it evaporizes in several stages. After ...
