Technology demonstrations are a means of evaluating the merit of technologies that are reaching the prototype stage. Demonstrations expose the technologies to the environment in which the technology must be operated successfully. Demonstrations also promote the deployment and utilization of new technologies through observations and participation by pipeline operators, equipment vendors, standards organizations, and pipeline safety officials. Demonstrations are just one stage in a technology transfer process but can be considered a major milestone for achieving an ultimate research goal. PHMSA will organize and hold future technology demonstrations when appropriate to assist road mapping and technology transfer efforts.
Below are the Technology Demonstrations that PHMSA has been involved with.
