The problem of pipeline integrity
Third party interference with pipeline infrastructures, due to accidental causes or for stealing purposes, can produce huge damages to the local environment with complicate and costly repairing operations.
Pipelines in the world> 3 Million km | ~80% of which operate since30 or more years | The main cause for spillage incidents from 2012 isThird Party Interference |
Eni's innovative technology is available today
Vibroacoustic monitoring system for Oil&Gas pipelines
Eni, with the technical support of SolAres, developed e-vpms®: the vibroacoustic monitoring technology for remote real-time monitoring of Oil & Gas pipelines.
Through a limited set of vibroacoustic stations and a central processing unit, the system can monitor hundreds of kilometres of pipeline against intrusions, spillages and impacts.
e-vpms® is based on the analysis of vibroacoustic waves propagating through the pipeline: when an intrusion threat or spillage attempt is performed, the generated waves propagate for kilometers within the pipelines and are recordered by the e-vpms® stations.
Hundreds of e-vpms® monitoring stations installed worldwide are currently ensuring secure and reliable operations for Oil & Gas pipelines.
e-vpms®
One unique patented solution
Leak detection at the speed of sound
How it works
The e-vpms® central unit, installed in the control room, collects all the recordings from the remote e-vpms® stations and performs advanced multichannel processing, providing accurate detection and location of the intrusions
The numbers of e-vpms® today
Proven experience and expertise
Since 2013 the system has been deployed all over Eni installations, starting from Italy and now spread all over the globe.
Today SolAres is capable of delivering the e-vpms® solution on international scale thanks to the acquired experience and expertise.
