The PipeDec leak detection system is the first module developed by the PipeMan team. Over 20 years of development together with experience from numerous installations makes this system one of the best in the world. The module rely on several leak detection techniques suitable to different condition and using different instruments. The following methods can be enabled in the PipeMan server:
- Dynamic simulation method
- Volume balance method
- Pressure wave method
- Pressure drop method
The system has its own user interface running on a web browser or as a desktop application. It supports all main operating system because it is Java based. If preferred, leak detection can be easily integrated with SCADA and use only the SCADA displays.
Alarm, event viewer and various reports are by default included.
If pipeline coordinates are available PipeDec can display leak location on the map.
