Growing awareness regarding workers’ safety has also contributed to the growth in demand for distributed temperature sensing (DTS) equipment.
DTS technology is extensively used by the oil & gas industry, primarily in petrochemical plants, pipeline structures, drilling, and storage tank areas for real-time temperature and vertical thermal profile monitoring. Its ability to perform and deliver accurate results even in harsh environments makes it a preferred choice by application industries. Upstream oil and gas operating businesses constantly seek safe and cost-efficient alternatives to remotely access and analyze real-time data related to offshore wells. Distributed temperature sensing technology assists these companies and professionals with its extraordinary capabilities associated with immunity to electromagnetic interferences and high performance even in extreme temperatures.
In the power and utility industry, reliable temperature monitoring of high-voltage transmission networks is critical in ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. Advanced optical fibers offered by numerous industry participants integrated in distributed temperature sensing technology assist providers and operators in maintaining safety and performance efficiency. Multimode fibers are often used for medium or lesser-range applications, while single-mode solutions are preferred for longer distances spanning up to 60 kilometers. In addition, it is extensively used in civil engineering applications such as the measurement of groundwater flow, subsurface heat transport, heat fluxes, and environmental monitoring.
