Disclosed is a method and system for monitoring he accumulations of materials with the interior of a pipeline (202). The method of the present invention includes use of an array of temperature sensors (203) along the outside of a pipeline, measuring the rate at which heat passing through the wall of the pipeline varies with time. Areas of lower heat loss rates are areas where materials have either been deposited upon the wall of the pipeline or are areas where a denser phase of material has been held up in the pipeline. Based upon the difference in rates of heat transfer, models can be prepared which allow for the distinguishing between the compositions of the accumulated materials.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un système destinés à réguler les accumulations de matériau à l'intérieur d'un pipeline. Le procédé de l'invention comprend l'utilisation d'un réseau de capteurs de température disposé le long de la partie externe d'un pipeline, qui mesure le taux auquel la chaleur variant avec le temps passe à travers la paroi du pipeline. Les zones à taux de perte de chaleur inférieure sont les zones au niveau desquelles les matériaux soit étaient déposés sur la paroi du pipeline, soit à l'endroit où une phase plus dense de matériau a été accumulée dans le pipeline. En se basant sur la différence des taux de transfert de chaleur, les modèles peuvent être préparés en vue de permettre la distinction entre les compositions de matériaux accumulés.
