This paper presents a case study in adapting report by exception remote monitoring technology to continuously monitor leak detection sensors along a cross-country high volume liquid products pipeline system. The resulting system enables the operating company to have 24/7 visibility to their leak detection devices as well as immediate alarm notification in the event of a detected leak condition. This technology enables sensors to be distributed anywhere in the system regardless of the availability of communication connection to the central operations network, using cellular and satellite communication. The web-based data interface enables viewing of data and receipt of alarms through any authorized web-enabled device. The presentation will discuss the sensor and monitoring technology, the data interface used between the sensors and monitors, the various means of facilitating communication to the operating company, and some lessons learned along the way.
