Manager
Jon Ah You moved to Anchorage from Hawaii
when he was in second grade. His first memory of Alaska was
stepping out of the plane in the middle of winter and being
fascinated by his frosty breath. He quickly adapted to his new
home and has lived in Alaska ever since.

Pipeline 101
Leak Detection
The
800-mile-long Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) is protected
by three separate leak detection systems that are monitored at
the Operations Control Center in Valdez. The Line Volume
Balance system senses leaks by checking the pipeline's total
oil volume every 30 minutes. The Transient Volume Balance
monitors oil volume in pipeline segments between pump
stations. And the Deviation Alarm system detects leaks by
tracking oil pressure, flow volume and flow rate.
