Existing deep learning-based leak detection approaches are limited by the requirement of a large number of labeled leak datasets, and also has worse performance in the complex and changeable marine environment. This study proposes a detection approach of natural gas leakage from offshore platform by integrating optical gas imaging (OGI) camera and unsupervised deep probability learning. In this approach, unsupervised deep learning is applied to learn the changeable infrared features of offshore platform, and variational Bayesian inference is integrated to provide the larger epistemic uncertainty contour corresponding to the infrared natural gas plume. An epistemic uncertainty-based detection score is proposed as the detection criterion to improve the accuracy of natural gas plume detection and localization. An OGI imaging experiment of natural gas leak from offshore platform is conducted to construct the benchmark dataset. With such datasets, two pre-defined parameters, namely Monte Carlo sampling number m = 100 and dropout probability <span><math><mrow><mi>p</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0.1</mn></mrow></math></span> are determined to guarantee the detection accuracy and efficiency. Comparison between the proposed approach and prevalent unsupervised deep learning approach is also conducted. The results demonstrate that our proposed approach has the higher detection accuracy with AUC = 0.9753, as well as the real-time capability with inference time of 4s/frame. Overall, our proposed approach provides a more accurate and generalized approach of natural gas detection for safety monitoring and detection management of offshore platforms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16291,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 105449"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142532666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cold gaseous ammonia following a spill of refrigerated ammonia will in contact with humid air cause fog formation. In an environment rich in ammonia, these droplets will due to ammonia’s strong hygroscopicity consist of considerable amounts of liquid ammonia as well as water.

The uncertainties in the evolution of technological hazard are discretized and assessed using the dynamic event tree, in which the dynamic possibility of ignition and potential scenario transition are taken into account. Furthermore, a detailed study of the dynamic consequence and time-dependent damage behavior of physical effects is conducted, supporting a more accurate assessment of tank vulnerability. The case study demonstrates that the developed methodology could simulate the stochastic process of spatio-temporal evolution of technological hazards and enable a comprehensive analysis of damage patterns over time.

In European Union, the Seveso Directive explicitly refers to equipment ageing and specific procedures and tools have been developed in some countries to verify the adequacy of ageing management plans. Ageing management requires up-to-date knowledge of damage mechanisms, failure rates, and inspection techniques. Although the energy transition is moving towards innovative and low-impact processes, the issue of equipment ageing remains a concern for the future due to several factors as many existing petroleum industries will be kept operating for years and green fuels will partially use existing plants. The use of digital technologies, such as inspection robots and pervasive sensors, is increasing in order to optimize maintenance costs and extend the useful lifetime of critical equipment. This poses challenges for stakeholders in the establishment, control bodies, and competent authorities, which need to effectively manage knowledge in the face of digital and energy transitions. Ontologies represent a fundamental methodology for organizing and integrating information throughout the equipment life cycle. These are beneficial for activities with high cognitive content such as incident analysis, risk assessment, maintenance management, and inspection planning.

The effect of the length and thickness of the balls is considered in detail. Four pressure transducers are used to record the detonation time-of-arrival, and the average velocity of detonation propagation is calculate. The smoked foil technique is performed to register the detonation cellular structures. The results indicate that increasing the filling length and thickness of the balls leads to a significant increase in velocity loss, critical pressure, and re-initiation distance during detonation propagation. Two propagation modes are observed near the critical pressure. In sub-critical mode, the detonation wave is attenuated and failed eventually, propagating to the end of the tube in the form of a low-speed deflagration wave. In super-critical mode, the detonation propagation can be promoted by inducing a vertical transverse wave generated by the detonation wave passing through a group of small balls. It is worth noting that the increase in filling thickness of the small balls leads to a greater velocity loss compared to the increase in filling length. However, an increase in the filling length will cause the detonation wave to undergo a longer and more sustained weakening process as it passes through the small balls, thereby resulting in a longer re-initiation distance and a lower average velocity over a short distance after re-initiation. By increasing the filling length of the small balls to 312 mm, the transition of the detonation wave from multi-head detonation to double-head detonation can be observed, and then successfully turns into stable detonation. However, when filling double-layer small balls, even in super-critical conditions, the attenuated detonation wave cannot achieve re-initiation over a short distance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16291,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 105454"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142422389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
