... ABSTRACT Different leak detection technologies offer different benefits and limitations. Popular options include real-time transient models, statistical analysis, and negative pressure wave systems. This paper outlines the successful integration of a statistical volume balance system...

... based, material balance systems are being implemented. In-house expertise is being developed to build, tune and maintain these pipeline monitoring systems. The simplest material balance system is based on injection and delivery volumetric flow rate measurements only. Mainline volumetric flow rates...
