Integrity Monitoring: Not Just Leak Detection

There are many uses for a software based, real time leak detection system other than just leak detection. Leak detection systems, based on a real time model, have many uses, including instrument analysis, slack line flow detection, batch, scraper and DRA tracking. Hydraulic profiles, trends and Imbalance Signature Plots provide operational tools to augment SCADA displays. When abnormal imbalance is reported, the operator has tools to pin point the problem. These results can also be made available enterprise-wide for use by higher level processes such as accounting, scheduling, planning, and marketing.
