In this paper, a wide-ranging analysis have been made for ad hoc network of wireless sensor nodes in oil pipeline surveillance environment containing challenges in conditional health monitoring of pipelines for detection of all time threats like leakage corrosion, erosion, blockage, and obstruction in cross country pipelines and for pipelines in refineries, petrochemical plants where determination of threat to pipeline is hazardous for maintenance engineers. The detection of threat in fossils fuel industry is divided into upstream, midstream, and downstream zones with the scope of surveillance of pipelines from wireless sensor nodes. The responsibilities of WSN are not only limited to threat detection but it has also its role in proficient, effective running of crude—refined oil in pipelines. A comparative analysis of prevalent communication technologies has been done with a correlation between them based on their size, weight, and cost of different globally available sensor motes. Finally, a recommended sensor mote architecture has been discussed. The structure discussed in the end provides subsequent provisions for cost-effective, conscious of design contemplations for ad hoc network based wireless sensor motes in pipeline threat detection. |
