Gas Pipeline Monitoring System

Primate unifies SCADA, GMS, pressure and flow sensors, compressor data, leak detection systems, weather, and security signals into one live operational view. With this gas pipeline monitoring system, operators can detect issues sooner and maintain total situational awareness across every asset.

Real-Time Monitoring vs $6.7B Blackout

During the 2003 Northeast blackout, alarm failures left operators blind for over 90 minutes.Primate’s real-time EMS health monitoring would have caught the failure instantly, preventing cascading outages and billions in economic losses.

One Visualization. $100M in Mission Costs Saved

A detected anomaly nearly grounded a million-dollar launch. Primate’s visualization revealed it was outside the critical zone, preventing an unnecessary cancellation and saving hundreds of millions in wasted preparation.

Turning $1.7M Outages Into Minutes of Downtime

Average grid outages last 5.8 hours and cost $1.7M in downtime and penalties. Primate’s fault detection helps operators isolate and resolve issues fast, often restoring power in minutes instead of hours.

Stopping $300K-an-Hour Downtime Before It Starts

Each hour of downtime costs electric utilities around $300K. Primate’s continuous visualization spots anomalies before they escalate, keeping systems online, reliable, and efficient around the clock.

Why Gas Pipeline Monitoring Slows Down

Gas operations rely on a maze of disconnected systems. SCADA shows pressures. GMS manages flow. Compressor station data sits elsewhere. Leak detection alerts come from vendor tools. Odorization data sits in another system. Weather risks live outside the operational view.

Operators lose precious time clicking between screens, rebuilding context, or waiting for confirmation during high-risk changes. Blind spots form quickly, and early warning signs get missed.

Primate removes these gaps by merging every critical gas data source into one complete, continuously updated operational picture.

A Clear View for Every Data Stream

Primate consolidates SCADA, GMS, leak detection systems, pressure and flow telemetry, odorization data, compressor station metrics, field sensors, GIS layers, weather overlays, AVL, security feeds, and enterprise systems into a unified interface.

Gas Pipeline Monitoring Use Cases

Gas operators get maximum value when all system conditions surface in one view. With Primate’s gas pipeline monitoring system, operators can:

Real-time monitoring of physical security and cyber threats

Visualize indicators alongside flow, pressure trends, weather, and terrain data.

Integrated safety monitoring including man-down alerts and crew safety status

Monitor load, performance, alarms, cycles, temperature, and trip behavior in real time.

Automatic data quality validation and system health checks

See valve states, pressure zones, linepack conditions, and isolation readiness instantly.

Seamless integration of field device communications and monitoring

Track imbalance, supply duration, consumption patterns, and constraint points with clarity.

Seamless integration of field device communications and monitoring

Overlay weather, construction zones, access events, alerts, and crew proximity.

Seamless integration of field device communications and monitoring

Combine odorizer flow, tank levels, alarms, and field telemetry into a single operational snapshot.

Complete Context for Gas Networks

Linking telemetry, compressor data, GMS, maintenance systems, and historian records gives operators immediate context behind every pressure shift or flow change. Live readings show what is happening. Maintenance logs explain why equipment behaves differently. Everything feeds into a unified view.

Historian data strengthens this further by revealing subtle patterns in pressure cycles, seasonal consumption, compressor behavior, and early stress indicators. With Primate’s gas pipeline monitoring system, operators can compare current conditions to past events, replay critical sequences, and understand exactly how anomalies develop.
