Company History
1994
The TORI Research and Production Company was founded in 1994 in Novosibirsk by graduates of Novosibirsk State University (NSU). The company's main scientific focus is on the development of signal recording and processing systems.
Rzhanov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, SB RAS.
1998
To solve the problem of locating in-line inspection tools (ILI) for JSC «Transsibneft», a device was developed and produced. Mounted on the ILI, it emitted infrasonic pulses that propagated up to 100 km through the product flow.

1999
On the main oil pipeline Omsk-Irkutsk of JSC «Transsibneft», the first infrasound signal recording from a pipeline was made using the experimental Infrasound Sensor MPP-001. Two lost projectiles were searched for.

2000
The research and development conducted at the base of JSC «Transsibneft» led to the creation of an active in-line device location complex by means of the IP-001 infrasound emitter. The system demonstrated a tracking precision of 1.5 kilometers for every 100 kilometers of pipeline.

2001
A MOPS-001 controller was designed to gather, store, and transmit sensor data, and to interface with external devices. The infrasound sensor has been upgraded, with its electronic components and sensing element now integrated into the factory-provided enclosure.

2001
The complex, designated «In-line Device Location Complex SSVS-001» successfully passed acceptance and operational testing. The system received permits from the Russian Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Gostekhnadzor) and a Certificate of Conformity fromthe Russian Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Gosstandart) have been obtained.

2002
The IP-001 emitter underwent a major upgrade. A new principle for generating infrasound pulses was implemented, substantially reducing the device's size and weight, thereby significantly simplifying its installation on in-pipe equipment.
Modernized version of IP-001.
2003
Accumulated operational experience led to a major upgrade of the hardware-software platform, including the infrasound sensor MPP-001, the MOPS-001 controller, and the system software.
Updated version of the equipment.
2005
A passive localization method was developed, enabling the localization of in-pipe devices without the use of an active emitter, thereby eliminating the need for equipment installation. The results obtained were reported to the management of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

2007
Successful tests of the «Infrasound Pipeline Monitoring System» with the «Leak Detection» function were completed on the pipelines of OJSC «Transsibneft», OJSC «Samaraneftegaz», OJSC «Yugo-Zapad Transnefteprodukt», and JSC «Transneft – Druzhba».
Updated version of the equipment.
2007
The system was first launched with the «Leak Detection» function on the 137 km condensate pipeline at JSC «Gazprom dobycha Orenburg». Within the first few months of operation, it detected and prevented product theft, halting further illegal tapping attempts.

2011
A large-scale modernization resulted in a next-generation hardware-software platform that meets modern requirements for the reliability and efficiency of pipeline equipment.
Updated version of the equipment.
2012
The first operational experience of the system on a gas pipeline has been obtained. This involved ultrasonic diagnostics and cleaning pig monitoring on the branch pipeline to GRS-1 Vladivostok for JSC "Gazprom transgaz Tomsk".
