Luna technology being used to monitor critical
energy supply route to Europe
The operator of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP)
commissioned the largest gas pipeline and fiber-optic monitoring
solution ever installed to ensure transcontinental gas supply from
Azerbaijan to the EU.
Luna Innovations (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced
optical technology, and automation contractor ABB collaborated with
the system operator to provide leak detection, pipeline security
and facility security across the 1,811 km route in a project
spanning six years.
Gas supply to Europe has become an especially critical issue in
recent months, and Luna’s pipeline security and leak detection
solutions are key to ensuring supply for pipeline operators in the
region, particularly in Turkey.
“Our fiber optic monitoring system is processing a vast amount
of data on a daily basis, providing simple outputs to the pipeline
operator with high reliability,” said Scott Graeff, President and
CEO of Luna. “A huge amount of effort, expertise, and collaboration
went into delivering this project and its successful commission on
time and on budget, and we are incredibly proud to be involved in
the safe and efficient delivery of this natural resource to people
in critical need.”
Luna’s distributed fiber-optic monitoring system provides early
warning of incursions on the pipeline right of way, such as
intentional or unintentional digging. The system also monitors the
acoustic and thermal properties of gas leaks, providing rapid
detection with highly accurate localization. It also monitors a
subsea section of the pipe, providing indication of leaks and
potential threats, such as dragging anchors from passing boats.
As another part of the project, Luna’s distributed fiber-optic
monitoring system has provided perimeter security for the
pipeline’s block-valve stations, to also provide above-ground
facility protection along the entire route.
