This research will enhance capabilities to detect, locate, and quantify small natural gas pipeline leaks to prioritize remedial actions. The research team will assemble and evaluate via field tests a system comprising a cost-effective synthesis of side-scan lasers, sensitive laser-based point sampling, and advanced data processing algorithms installed on a mobile leak survey platform. The research results will lead to advanced products and methodologies to be deployed by the leak survey industry for reducing the environmental impact of natural gas. |
