Abstract

The increasing frequency of pipeline breaches across sectors necessitates the development of more accurate and effective leak detection technologies. Because pipeline leaks have increased. The economy and ecology may suffer if traditional localization and identification techniques don’t work. By using Matched Field Processing (MFP) to enhance acoustic-based leak detection, this study tackles the problem. By improving the accuracy and dependability of pipeline leak detection and localization, the system accomplishes its objective. The goal of this research was to create a system that can precisely locate and measure leaks in practical situations. This was our primary goal. To achieve this, we used sophisticated signal processing and high-sensitivity sound sensors. Thus, we achieved our goal. We thoroughly examined the flexibility and effectiveness of these parts. These studies took ambient noise, fluid types, and pipe materials into account. According to experimental findings, the system can detect leaks with very minor localization problems. The conclusion was shown by the trial outcomes. Proper specification of leak sizes and the ability to locate leaks within four meters made concentrated and efficient maintenance feasible. We completed everything. Across many test sets, the technology demonstrated sensitivity and dependability. This data demonstrates that the method is effective in industrial environments. Issues such as separating ambient sounds from leaks were resolved by the system’s enhanced noise discrimination. The system’s enhanced capabilities made this possible. The upgrade was necessary to guarantee that the system operated well in noisy industrial environments, where previous systems had failed. The acoustic-based leak detection technique enhanced the technology for pipeline monitoring. According to rigorous testing, the system has the ability to alter pipeline maintenance. The accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness of the system demonstrate its potential in enhancing the sustainability and safety of industrial processes. More pipeline systems and operating conditions will be able to use the enhanced noise-cancelling technology.
