A new system for measuring temperature by optical fiberNew techniques of measurement and control of very low temperatures by optical fibers. Kloé has developed a new system of temperature measurement by optical fibers to monitor the operation of machinery, piping and storage tanks operating at cryogenic temperatures. The system called "K-BGS monitoring unit," has been validated in real conditions during tests at cryogenic temperature (liquid nitrogen) of a line test from a single flexible pipe designed to transfer offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) on the production site Trait of Technip, a world leader in the manufacture and installation of flexible pipes for offshore oil and gas. Micro-leakages of liquid nitrogen to the pipe were also simulated and were instantly detected by the sensors in the “K-BGS monitoring unit system” with a high optical dynamic in a few seconds. Even a small leakage can thus be detected, localized and quantified quickly allowing for safety measures to be taken as soon as possible. |
