Pipelines are one of the least expensive means of transporting fluids in long distances and
distributing fluids in large areas and cities. Fluids transported and distributed by pipelines …

Gas pipelines are prone to faults due to aging, corrosion, and external factors. Undetected
faults can result in injuries, damage to properties, and environmental contamination. Several …

Leakage diagnosis of hydrocarbon pipelines can prevent environmental and financial
losses. This work proposes a novel method that not only detects the occurrence of a leakage …

Based on inverse hydraulic-thermodynamic transient analyses and on an improved particle
swarm optimization (PSO), a leak detection and localization method is proposed for liquid …

Leaks in hydrocarbon transporting pipelines cause major problems including environmental
hazards and financial losses. Many leakage diagnosis methods try to detect the leaks with a …

Inspection and Maintenance methods development have a pivotal role in preventing the
uncertainty-induced risks in the oil and gas industry. A key aspect of inspection is evaluating …

Urban water supply and distribution infrastructure is aging rapidly and the frequency of pipe
burst increases. These events can be very expensive due to water supply disruptions, and …

This chapter attempts to outline the pipeline failures and their impact on safety and
environmental risks besides causing blockages and leaks in pipe networks. Furthermore …

This paper presents an effective decision making system for leak detection based on
multiple generalized linear models and clustering techniques. The training data for the …

Featured Application To improve the leakage location accuracy in a pressurized gas pipe,
this paper proposes a modified leakage location method using multilayer perceptron neural …
