Abstract: Texas Eastern initiated a pilot project to evaluate currently available pipeline leak detection and remote/automatic valve control equipment and technology. The testing was conducted to determine the requirements of the pipeline valve control projects that were installed beginning in 1996. Southwest Research Institute participated in the project with co-funding by Gas Research Institute. Equipment was installed at three locations on a looped pipeline near Nashville, Tennessee in October of 1995. The sites included two compressor stations and two mainline valve sites involving a total of 12 valves. Tests were conducted at the sites and data was collected. The tests included simulation of a pipeline failure by tripping a relief valve installed on a blow down stack at one of the mainline valve sites for purposes of the test.
