Schneider Electric and Prisma Photonics announced partnership to help oil and gas pipeline owners and operators prevent accidental and malicious activity by providing real-time intelligence and precise monitoring of oil and gas infrastructure. As a result, customers can drive efficiency and sustainability through energy and resource loss avoidance. With this commercial agreement, Schneider Electric, recognized as the world's most sustainable corporation by the Corporate Knights Global 100 Index in January 2021, is strengthening its technology, solutions and expertise to help its customers expand the reliability and sustainability of their pipeline operations. Oil and gas pipelines are critical assets, and pipeline integrity and leak detection solutions are part of an operator's toolbox for safe and environmentally conscious pipeline operations. Driven by regulatory demand, environmental awareness and public safety needs, most operators employ at least one leak detection system, if not multiple technologies. Prisma Photonics' PrismaFlowTM, a comprehensive pipeline monitoring solution comprising both hardware and software, dramatically reduces positive and negative false alarm rates compared to other fibre-sensing solutions with its Hyper-ScanTM technology offering 100x greater sensitivity. The system's machine learning unit offers significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), allowing for accurate event classification. By leveraging pre-existing fibre-optic cables as "sensors", PrismaFlow eliminates the need to invest in new, dedicated fibres and the installation and maintenance of thousands of dedicated sensors along the pipeline. The PrismaFlow technology essentially makes for faster oil and gas pipeline management and prevents accidental, criminal or malicious activity, thus ensuring a secure pipeline infrastructure.
