Bandweaver Installs Natural Gas Pipeline Protection System in Guangdong

by Richard Kluth

Gas pipeline leakage is a worldwide issue. It costs up to $30 billion dollars of lost revenue and about 3% of global natural gas production each year. The implications of this are also environmental. Methane is released as a result of these leaks, continuing to contribute to the worlds growing global warming problem. The most common cause for gas leakage is old and corroding pipeline. However, the most significant leaks are the result of third-party interference to the pipeline. Fortunately, Bandweaver’s pipeline protection systems can help prevent these issues.
