METHOD FOR DETECTING AND QUANTIFYING VIOLATIONS OF MINIMAL DISTANCES IN AREAS OF HAZARDOUS GAS PIPELINE PRODUCTION FACILITIES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F17D5/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: geospatial base is created to form a display on the object shooting materials of the technically processed materials of aerospace shooting, formed suitable for analysis and interpretation in the visible range of the object spectrum, consisting of a linear part and area facilities including compressor stations, gas cooling stations, gas distributing stations, transferring stations, pumping stations, underground gas, oil and refined product storages, taking into account the analysis of the raw data in the form of the technical documentation of these objects. The buffer zones are determined by the values of the minimal distances according to the regulatory documents around the dangerous objects. Interpretation of the shooting materials is carried out within these buffer zones, wherein the environment objects, namely settlements, individual industrial and agricultural enterprises, buildings, structures, man-made and natural objects, are identified and ranged by the groups and categories according to regulatory documents. If the object of the k-th environment object group is outside the buffer zone with the corresponding value of the minimal distance , then the object location establishes no violation, if the object of the k-th environment object group is inside the buffer zone with the corresponding minimal distance , its location is a violation, then the shortest distance is measured to the pipeline axis for the linear part or to the border fencing area of the area pipeline object, and a list of the dangerous surrounding objects is drawn, the location of which violates the limits of the minimal distances established by the respective regulations from dangerous objects to environment objects with the values of the normative and actual distances. A buffer is built for each environment dangerous object inside the buffer zone of the minimal distances, around its territory, with the minimal distance value specified for the given class of the environment objects, the intersection buffer points with the pipeline axis are determined, the length of the pipeline section is measured, located in the buffer area built around the environment object, and a quantitative assessment of the minimal distance violations is carried out, indicating the local linear coordinates of the pipeline sections, that are potentially dangerous to the environment objects identified in the zone of the minimal distances.

EFFECT: ability is achieved to define and quantify the potentially dangerous areas of the dangerous objects.
