Leak Detection for Energy Transition (E-RTTM)

Oil & Gas


Different mixtures and phases in the same pipeline are a typical application for Real-Time Transient Model technology (RTTM) based systems, which try to consider all blends of different products and pipeline properties in its calculations. However, if the fluid cannot be accurately modelled by the system this leads to false results. Unforeseen operating conditions will also lead to false alarms. The Extended Real-Time Transient Model technology (E-RTTM) can compensate for these disadvantages.
