Abstract:

This paper presents a fuzzy logic control for the navigation of a mobile robotic system in gas pipelines. The robotic system is designed for a local gas distribution pipeline network with 150–300mm diameter pipes; common pipe fittings in use are straight and bend sections, reducers and slope pipe sections. The navigation problem forms a part of the current development of a new modular and semi-autonomous vehicle system. The vehicle control and navigation technique is implemented using a two-mode controller consisting of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic control. The PID controller is responsible for direct control of the actuators, while the fuzzy logic controller is used to evaluate as well as to define the sensor outputs such as speed, climbing angle and rate of climbing angle in order to perceive the different types of pipe environment and vehicle actions. Since the navigation problem involves a multivariable input-output (MIMO) system, a cascaded hierarchical fuzzy model configuration is used to reduce the dimensionality of the fuzzy model. The fuzzy navigation controller is thus an interlink fuzzy subsystem of the pipe environment recognition and action adjustment subsystems. Results of simulations and laboratory experiments are presented to demonstrate the ability of the control strategy. A brief description of the mobile robotic system used is presented as background.

Abstract:

This paper presents a new solution for inspecting and repairing defects in live gas pipelines. The proposed approach is the development of a modular and semi-autonomous vehicle system. The robotic system has a drive mechanism, capable of navigating and adjusting its orientation in various configurations of pipelines. Other features of the system are cable-free communications, semi-autonomous motion control as well as integration of sensory devices. The robotic system is designed to traverse in 150–300 mm diameter pipes through straight and curved sections, junctions and reducers. The vehicle control and navigation technique is implemented using a two-mode controller consisting of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic control. Unlike other available systems, the vehicle employs proprioceptive sensors to monitor its own states. The fuzzy logic controller is used to evaluate the sensor outputs such as speed, climbing angle and rate of change of climbing angle. This control technique allows the vehicle to drive and adapt in a partially observable gas pipe system. Laboratory experiment results are presented. The paper also describes a cable-free communication method for the system. A brief account of typical pipe environments and currently available inspection tools is presented as background information.

Abstract:

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are becoming more attractive in diverse applications due to their efficiency in performing tasks with a reduced time execution, covering a larger area, and lowering human risks at harmful tasks. In the context of Oil & Gas (O&G), the scenario is even more attractive for the application of UAS for inspection activities due to the large extension of these facilities and the operational risks involved in the processes. Many authors proposed solutions to detect gas leaks regarding the onshore unburied pipeline structures. However, only a few addressed the navigation and tracking problem for the autonomous navigation of UAS over these structures. Most proposed solutions rely on traditional computer vision strategies for tracking. As a drawback, depending on lighting conditions, the obtained path line may be inaccurate, making a strategy to force the UAS to continue on the path necessary. Therefore, this research describes the potential of an autonomous UAS based on image processing technique and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) strategy to navigate appropriately in complex unburied pipeline networks contributing to the monitoring procedure of the Oil & Gas Industry structures. A CNN is used to detect the pipe, while image processing techniques such as Canny edge detection and Hough Transform are used to detect the pipe line reference, which is used by a line following algorithm to guide the UAS along the pipe. The framework is assessed by a PX4 flight controller Software-in-The-Loop (SITL) simulations performed with the Robot Operating System (ROS) along with the Gazebo platform to simulate the proposed operational environment and verify the approach’s functionality as a proof of concept. Real tests were also conducted. The results showed that the solution is robust and feasible to deploy in this proposed task, achieving 72% of mean average precision on detecting different types of pipes and 0.0111 m of mean squared error on the path following with a drone 2 m away from a tube.

Abstract:

At present, inspection and maintenance operations on various types of pipelines, structures, and others are carried out manually by human operators. Such operations are often performed, in general, under adverse environments such as high places and narrow areas. In addition, fire fighters in blazing high-rise buildings may be subjected to dangers involving high places and fires. Moreover, the robotization of grinding work in factories, for example, require a large number of empirical technologies. In order to mechanize tasks under such adverse environments and under special working conditions, research has been conducted, including studies of mobile mechanisms on inner walls and outer walls of piping, on wall surfaces of structures, etc. or studies of force control methods. Under these circumstances, this issue will be specialized in technical progress of various types of maintenance robots. First, a navigation system of a wind quantity inspection robot using a fuzzy neural network will be discussed by Messrs. Fukuda and Abe. Next, a report will be given by Messrs. Ishikawa and Shiire on the mechanism and functions of a pile recovery robot for large-diameter pipes, with a view to carrying out cleaning work inside cooling water pipes of electric power generation plants, as well as on its field testing. Furthermore, Messrs. Kawaguchi and Yoshida will be asked to report on the mechanism of an inspection robot for use on the inner surfaces of gas piping buried in the ground. In addition, a discussion will be carried out by Messrs. Naruse and Takada on the mechanism and fire extinguishing capability of a hybrid robot system for use in combatting fires in high-rise buildings. Moreover, Messrs. Ozaki and Jinno will be discussing the mechanism and force control system of a grinding robot. In addition, a discussion will be carried out by Messrs. Hosokai and Hara regarding the motion function of a piping inspection robot having a lazy tong mechanism and also regarding its piping test results. Finally, Messrs. Amano and Kakikura will be called upon to give a discussion concerning a robot for carrying out exfoliation of finishing materials on the outer walls of structures and its exfoliation. In closing, it is hoped that this special issue will be of some help in the future when such maintenance robots are developed.

Abstract:

The pressure of gas collector in coke oven is an important industrial parameter in coking process, even in the whole metallurgical industry. Due to the complex characteristics of the multiple gas collectors pressure system, conventional control strategies meet challenges when the pressures in collector pipes are required to be kept at the appropriate operating point. Dynamic matrix control (DMC), which focus on the complicated industril process and has achieved successful and mature applications, is the most widely-used model predictive control (MPC). This paper introduce DMC to the multiple gas collectors pressure system. The simulation results in a three-ovens system show the feasibility and effectiveness of DMC.

Abstract:

The paper presents some aspects concerning the use of infrared thermography (IRT) in the evaluation of composite pipes integrity. Composite pipelines made up of glass fibres reinforced epoxy resins are increasingly used, especially in oil and gas industry, for their good mechanical properties, combined with reduced weight and excellent behaviour under hostile environment conditions. Taking into account that high reliability is required for such pipe networks, it is mandatory to choose reliable non-destructive inspection (NDI) methods to achieve efficient structural health monitoring. The main advantages of the IRT inspection are: non-contact and non-dangerous examination. In order to characterize the integrity of composites pipes, first of all the researches were interested in obtaining a set of reference images and then to examine the samples before and after the impact stress test. The conclusions point out the schemes and the optimal parameters of evaluation as well as the application limits of thermographic inspection

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to study the air contaminants in the cabins of underwater vehicle. The basic data help for the better research of the underwater vehicle cabin environment standard and the control strategy. Pretreatment and analysis method of volatile organic compounds was preconcentration combined with gas chromatography under the condition of liquid nitrogen and detected by chromatography-mass spectrometry. The pollution of particles, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide during the underwater vehicle voyage were monitored by online monitoring instrument. Altogether 34 kinds of pollution components were detected, most of which were low in concentration. Some are low olfactory threshold or high toxic components, such as dimethyldisulfide, benzene, carbon disulfide, trichloromethane, and several reached to ppm level. The contamination of the particles was mainly fine particles and part cabins exceeded the national standard of indoor air quality. The highest concentration of carbon dioxide in accommodation space exceeded the permissible concentration of atmosphere composition aboard diesel underwater vehicle compartments. The increase submerged time made the environment in the cabins deteriorate. The concentration of trace contaminants may close to or beyond the relevant standards with the prolonged time. The volatile organic compounds, particles, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide aggravated the air circumstance in the cabins. It should be determined the permissible concentration of air contaminants in underwater vehicle as soon as possible.

"measurements. This paper is confined to the different forms of sampling odourous gases for olfactometric measurements and the problems involved. It refers to existing guidelines for olfactometric measurements in the countries of the EEC, as well. 2. TYPES OF SAMPLING Samples of odourous gas may be collected in unconcentrated or concentrated form. Concentrated sampling is usually neces sary when gas chromatography or other chemical analytical meth ods are to be used. Unconcentrated sampling is provided if o-dour threshold concentrations are required (2). Depending on the type of olfactometer used dynamic sam pling or static sampling are provided. The principle of dynam ic sampling is shown in Figure 1. It requires a part-flow of the odourous gas to be continoulsy extracted from the source and subsequently directed to the olfactometer. This sampling method implies that the measurements are carried out close to the source. An advantage of the method is that there is the possibility of controlling a process, directly, and in case of the break-down of the process this can be noticed right away. A disadvantage of the dynamic method is that odour sources that are not readily accessible require a relatively great ef fort in order to install the olfactometer and suitable sam pling pipes which often should be insulated or heated to avoid adsorption or condensation (3). When static sampling is used a partial stream of the o-dourous air is collected in a sampling vessel. Samples are taken from this vessel or bag to dilute the odourous air for the olfactometer using syringes or on-line tubings. When using this method odour measurement with the panel can be carried out at any arbitrary location, if the vessel is a transport able one. An example for static sampling is given in Figure 2. 3. PROBLEMS OF SAMPLING the main problems encountered when sampling odourous air derive from surface effects of the sampling tubes and vessels, namely by - adsorption, - desorption, and - condensation. This depends mainly on the material of the tube, the vessel or the bag (adsorption) or on the nature of the gas, whether it is hot and/or containes a high amount of humidity (condensa tion). On the other hand the sample can be altered by trace components bleeding from the material of the walls of the ves sel or the tube (desorption). The following factors are to be observed for valid static sampli ng. aTTTToTce of_m£teri aj_ For tWe sampling of odourous gases glas vessels, stain less steel tanks (4) and flexible plastic bags (5) were tested. The initial concentrations of the test gases decrease consider ably with storage time in glass and steel vessels. In recent years bags made of Polyethylene(6), Teflon (3) and Tedlar (7), (8) were usually used. Figure 3 shows a graph from SCHUETZLE."

Abstract:

Large diameter pipelines of 48” and 56” traverse the Ukraine. These pipelines are the life-line for the Russian gas transit to high demand European Union (EU) markets. The high economic impact to several European regions and the complicated legislation of these pipeline systems reduces the operators’ ability to change operating conditions to better suit in-line inspection. Ukrtransgaz requested a reliable and compact inspection tool able to negotiate 1.5D bends. Thirty degree (30°) mitre bends and demanding elevation changes in the range of 1500m (4921ft) also had to be considered. The high economic impact of the pipeline systems did not allow Ukrtransgaz to reduce the high flow speed of the gas, which is more than 10 m/s (22.2mph), during the inspection. In combination with the before-mentioned elevation profile, an inspection tool with active speed control was required. As part of the planned re-assessment survey, an XYZ mapping inspection relying on an inertial navigation system was also required. The inspection solutions provided by ROSEN were multipurpose tools providing MFL technology, an XYZ mapping module and active speed control in a single body. It will be discussed in this paper how the miniaturization of electronics and computer technology is not only a key point for small diameter tools, but also essential to meet the demanding targets of inspecting large diameter gas lines. Breaking with the paradigm, that large pipe provides enough internal space, was the basis in accomplishing the demands of the operator.
