无人机在油气管道巡查中的应用

Application of UAV in oil and gas pipeline inspection

无人机技术的快速发展,在各行各业得到广泛应用。某管道根据地形地域特点,采用无人机和人工巡检相结合,对管道线路、阀室、第三方人员活动、高风险区域等进行巡查,特别是河流众多,管道穿越的巡查。人工巡检存在一定的局限性,在危险区域安全保障较低,无人机良好的机动性和视频图像采集功能,有利的保障日常巡检和对高后果区的监测,降低时间和人工成本,提高管道巡检效率,为管道智能化数字化发展提供选择。

With the rapid development of UAV technology,it has been widely used in all walks of life.According to the terrain and regional characteristics of a pipeline,the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle and manual inspection is adopted to inspect the pipelines,valve stations,third-party personnel activities,high-risk areas,etc,especially the inspection of numerous rivers and pipeline crossing.Manual inspection has certain limitations,such as low security guarantee in dangerous areas.UAV’s good mobility and video image acquisition function are beneficial to guarantee daily inspection and monitoring of high-consequence areas,reduce time and labor costs,improve the efficiency of pipeline inspection,and provide a choice for the intelligent and digital development of pipelines.
