Objectives | Determine the feasibility of adapting existing air conditioning duct sealant techniques to repair leaking natural gas distribution mains and network riser infrastructures with deposits only occurring at leaks requiring sealing, while producing seals that can withstand normal operating pressures for natural gas distribution systems, and with minimal service disruption. Recommendations for and progression to next stage of technology development. |

Abstract | This project aims to build on the work carried out under the project entitled Seeker Particles (NIA_SGN0012). As part of the Seeker Particles project, a number of ambitious and highly innovative technology opportunities were identified. This proposal outlines the requirements in order to take one of those innovative technologies, namely aerosol based particulate sealants, and demonstrate Proof of Concept for its use in gas pipelines and risers. It will use both experimental and numerical modelling approaches to address the key technical challenges required to bring this technology to market.
