Operation & maintenance for pipeline management

Support for the protection and efficient operation of pipelines

  • Swift response to leak or theft events enabled by emergency support systems
  • Inspection and maintenance to increase system life cycle

Overview

While a well-planned and tested pipeline management system works reliably for many years there might be conditions during pipeline operation which have not been considered during the project phase. These could include planned changes of the pipeline operations, such as changing the transported product, but also unplanned situations such as leakages or product theft.

KROHNE offers a variety of services to support the safe and efficient operation of pipelines. Our pipeline management experts provide on- and offline analyses to identify irregular behaviour in the pipeline operation. These can be performed on site or via remote access. In the case of an emergency a 24/7 hotline is available to guarantee swift response to leak or theft events. Furthermore KROHNE offers regular system reviews and reports, system and software updates and inspection and maintenance of the pipeline management system equipment to increase system life cycle.

In case of illegal tapping and product theft on a pipeline KROHNE offer a post theft analysis service. A variety of data regarding the theft history will be analysed to determine time and location-specific indicators to identify future similar events in advance. All these services can be provided on demand or via a pre-defined maintenance agreement at fixed costs. Customers benefit from routine maintenance schedules and instant access to the services whenever required.
