Design and elaboration of the inspection technologies based on cleaning tools for registration and analysis of the operation parameters in hydrocarbon pipelines
Abstract
This article presents the design and construction of an intelligent tool (pig), which allows the measurement pipelines operation parameters for transportation of hydrocarbons and records signals associated with its dynamic movement within the transmission line. The pig is designed to be used on a regular basis by the operator, drawing mainly runs routine cleaning. The tool collects data at low cost and analysis of the same operator brings to valuable information on developments in the pipeline, the degree of waste, the presence of potential damage geometry (defects) and in-formation on operational parameters. This information can be integrated into the maintenance plan, which will enable better decision making and help to get an overview of risk control thanks to the changes in the line over time.
