Abstract

Water leakage is posing a major threat for water supplier industry especially in developing country such as Malaysia. If there is no immediate action to counter the problem, it could lead more downside to the water supplier industry. This project implements a monitoring system and water leakage detection for a distribution buried plastic pipeline by using a monitoring system to detects the location of the leak source inside the pipeline. The monitoring system display a real-time pressure data of a pressurized pipe by using a GUI (graphical user interface) via LabVIEW software. The uses of several pressure sensors install along the pipeline are the keys for the complete processes. To simulate real leak situation, a broken pipeline was design. Threshold pressure value to trigger leakage alarm is set in the LabVIEW to avoid any false alarm indication in non-leak situation. To enhance the capability of this system, the leak detection system is developed based on cross correlation method to detect the estimation of leak location. Apart from that, for effectiveness of the pressure sensors, malfunction alarm is set when pressure sensor is not working in the monitoring system. LabVIEW software and NI myRIO-1900 is used as the main processing and control unit for this project development.
