Title: Surveillance For Unattended Natural Gas Compressor Stations

Abstract: During the last 20 years natural gas companies have found that operating costs have been increasing, especially at manned compressor stations and other key facilities. This situation, coupled with the expansion of natural gas pipeline systems throughout the country (except during the past two or three years), has been the catalyst for companies to look for ways to decrease tlie number of operating personnel required. Both of these factors led to a greater reliance on devices to perform the sensing duties once carried out by operating personnel. These devices have become so sophisticated tiiat many stations are now completely unattended, or attended eight hours a day, five days a week, by one man who generally performs only housekeeping and caretaker duties. The surveillance devices found in this type of station can be divided into two general categories-those which protect the major operating equipment from damage and/or self destruction, and those which detect trespassing by unauthorized personnel.
