Germany - Leak detection for 55km Brine Pipeline Berlin
DITEST-LTM - PIPELINE LEAKAGE DETECTION MONITORING
55 km Brine Pipeline Berlin-GERMANY
In 2002 the construction of a natural gas storage facility some 1500m under the ground surface was started in the area of Berlin in Germany. Using mining technology the building of underground caverns for gas storage in large rock-salt formation requires hot water and produces large quantities of water saturated with salt (so-called brine).
In most cases the brine cannot be processed on-site and must be transported by a pipeline to the location where it can either be used for chemical processes, or injected back safely into the ground. Because the brine can be harmful for the environment, the pipeline shall be monitored by a leakage detection system.
A 55km pipeline was built and the company GESO was selected for the development and the installation of Omnisens DITEST-LTM Solution for the detection of leakage along the 55km brine pipeline.
