How IoT Sensors Are Detecting Pipeline Leaks in Real Time
Episode 23 of Internet of Things with Fexingo dives into how IoT sensors are transforming pipeline leak detection—a $5 billion problem for oil, gas, and water utilities. Lucas and Luna explore a real-world case from a major US pipeline operator that deployed acoustic and fiber-optic sensors along 500 miles of pipeline in Texas. They break down how the system detects pressure changes and sound signatures within seconds, preventing spills that cost an average of $1.2 million per incident. The hosts also discuss the economics: sensor arrays cost about $50,000 per mile, but can save operators…
