Implement innovative methods to increase safety and minimise losses in the transmission of oil and petroleum products.
Reference number of the aid programme: SA.41471(2015/X) Purpose of public aid: Article 25 of EC Regulation No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014 declaring certain types of aid compatible with the internal market in the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty (OJ L. I'm sorry. EU L 187/1 of 26.06.2014). Oil spills and petroleum products pose a very serious risk to the environment and cause significant financial losses. The solution to this problem is automatic leak detection systems. Unfortunately, a small number of such solutions, available on the market, make their prices very high and exceed the budgets of many investments. As a result, many pipelines remain unprotected. Growing environmental awareness is causing demand for such solutions to continue to grow, especially in low-cost solutions. The project we carry out meets these needs. The project will carry out studies aimed at verifying existing leak detection methods, developing new ones and addressing the reliability of detection results obtained by existing methods. To this end, it is necessary to build a prototype installation allowing reliable verification of leak detection methods used on existing and built fuel pipelines. The tasks that we will carry out within the project are: — Establishment of an installation allowing for testing methods of detection of pipe leakages, verification and demonstration of their effectiveness to potential customers of solutions – Reliable verification of known methods of leak detection – Developing new, innovative methods with much higher cost-effectiveness for technological pipelines. — Promoting the idea of protecting fuel pipelines as an effective tool for the security of investment and the environment. The innovativeness of the project consists of: — Application of artificial intelligence methods for filtering
