Future-Proofing Pipeline Operations: Advancing Vibroacoustic Technology Through Innovative Digitalization and Enhanced Detection of Multiple Phenomena
ptj Young Pipeliner

Pipelines are crucial to daily life, requiring ongoing monitoring and protection. Vibroacoustic Technology (VT) offers reliable pipeline monitoring by detecting various phenomena through vibroacoustic waves. However, even the best field solutions and software lose effectiveness without a user-friendly interface.
Timely detection and localization of pig runs, leaks [1], and third-party interferences (TPI) are critical and must be supported by robust, well-designed software. Digitalization and modularization enhance this by ensuring fast, accessible information and seamless data processing for efficient decision-making.
This discussion explores the challenges and benefits of digitalization and modular processing implementation on VT, which has proven instrumental in maintaining adaptability and ensuring future-proofing in pipeline monitoring systems.
