Ingeniería de detalle y simulación de un sistema de detección de fugas en una línea de flujo multifásico (LDS)

Abstract

In the Ecuadorian oil sector there are control regulations that regulate the crude transport process, the quality procedures of the sector require that the process be monitored to avoid oil leaks along the pipeline, since the environmental effects from spills would be considerable, affecting biodiversity and natural resources. The present project is based on the recommendations of API 1130 and the regulations of the Agencia de Regulación y Control de Hidrocarburos del Ecuador for leak detection systems, and proposes the detailed engineering for the selection of field instrumentation required in a linear duct under known operating conditions, additionally a simulation software is presented that guides the user to understand the influence of the instrumentation under different leakage scenarios and the selection for field instruments.
