PipePatrol Line Break Detection is a dedicated system to efficiently detect pipeline ruptures instantly, raise an alarm and initiate emergency pipeline shutdown procedures. The system consists of a local PLC with Rupture Pattern Recognition installed, plus two pressure transmitters to act as the pipeline rupture detection sensors.
The PipePatrol system includes a self-learning feature for easy commissioning and tuning to the local pipeline operational conditions. Configuration can be done via a local display, or remotely. Complying with API 1175 & API – Association of Oil Pipelines (AOPL) Liquid Pipeline Rupture Recognition and Response.
The PipePatrol Pipeline Management Suite has been designed in a way that it can be adapted to achieve best results and meet
operator requirements in line with the application and the available budget.
The operator now can choose to either start with single software application modules such as Leak or Theft Detection or to get the full Pipeline Management package consisting of several modules, plus the related instrumentation and data acquisition technology as well as dedicated services.
Extended Real-Time Transient Model (E-RTTM)
E-RTTM is the only technology that allows fast and sensitive leak detection in any kind of pipeline operation. PipePatrol’s unique leak pattern recognition is a proven technology that compares what is actually happening in a pipeline – without generating false alarms.

Unlike other systems, it does not simply compare outlet flow with inlet flow. Instead, it uses the measured conditions to calculate the hydraulic profiles of the pipeline. One of these, the calculated flow profile, is compared to the measured flow for both inlet and outlet.
PipePatrol’s signature analysis uses leak pattern recognition to analyse this data continuously and determine the leak status of the pipeline. Because E-RTTM uses relative values, it continues to work effectively under transient pipeline conditions, without any significant effect on its sensitivity.
From learning a pipeline’s behavior for advanced leak detection to lifecycle monitoring for improved maintenance, PipePatrol is a comprehensive leak detection system that can tackle any pipeline.
Krohne's specialized software learns a pipeline's behavior and continually compares data to identify potential situations that could indicate a leak. This system provides continuous and robust monitoring during all pipeline operations.

While evaluating the pressure of a pipeline, PipePatrol also provides data to perform predictive maintenance planning to allow operators to assess the remaining life of the pipeline.
More than simply leak detection, PipePatrol can detect pipeline ruptures and alerts operators of the issue before initiating an emergency shutdown of the pipeline. So much more than simple leak detection, PipePatrol assists operators in making decisions when they count.
Providing a more accurate prediction of arrival time and unmixed product percentage, PipePatrol tracks batches through multi-product pipelines and identifies the mixing zone of batches for more precise batching.
