Line Sentinel is classified by API and CSA as an internally based Pipeline Leak Detection System (PLDS). The system can be further classified as a hybrid; neither a simple line balance system nor a highly complex real time transient model (RTTM). It incorporates useful features of a RTTM with appropriately modified and proprietary algorithms for:
- Batch tracking
- Temperature relaxation
- Linepack
- Leak location
Line Sentinel can be applied as a standalone or fully integrated system, as well as part of an external PLDS as part of a complete Leak Detection Program (LDP)
