Abstract: Gas transmission pipeline leak detection is required under the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (HR3609). With gas prices reaching historical high values the cost savings to be made through the detection and repair of transmission pipeline leaks has joined with pipeline safety as a major economic driver for new pipeline leak detection technologies. Major technological advances have been made in recent years in the field of gas leak detection through the use of Infra Red (IR) gas detection optical cameras. This paper will review some of the technologies currently employed in gas leak detection surveys of transmission pipelines. In addition it contains a short review of the Infra Red (IR) gas leak detection methodology and compares the Passive IR with Active IR approach. It will conclude with an example of the cost benefit of an effective transmission pipeline gas leak detection program.
