Ultrasonic
gas leak detection at the speed of sound
Posted: 13 April 2004
Within the petrochemical industry hydrocarbon gas leaks have been
extensively in focus due to the potential catastrophic nature of
gas leaks.
Fixed Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detection is now accepted by major oil
and gas producers as one of the most effective ways to instantly
detect hydrocarbon gas leaks. And ultrasonic technology is now a
widely used alternative to traditional fixed gas detection systems
(point detectors and open path detectors) in plant environment.
For one major reason: According to the latest update on the HSE
website traditional gas detection systems only detect 65% of all
flammable gas releases in the UK offshore industry.
INNOVA GasSonic Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector MM0100 detects small
(0,1 kg/sec) or large gas leaks at the speed of sound, in distances
of 5-10 meters from the leak, regardless of changing wind directions
or fast dilution of the gas cloud. Conditions that may cause traditional
technologies to miss out on essential gas leaks.
To ensure maximum reliability and optimal performance by the ultrasonic
gas leak detection system after installation, INNOVA GasSonic also
offers onsite pre-installation mapping as well as onsite commissioning
of the ultrasonic gas leak detection system to verify the performance
of the system by using REAL SIMULATED GAS LEAKS.
INNOVA GasSonic has installed more than 1500 Ultrasonic Gas Leak
Detectors for fast detection of hydrocarbon gas leaks both offshore
and onshore. Worldwide installations include most major oil and
gas producers in locations such as North Sea as well as major installations
in Holland, USA, Algeria, Africa and the Middle East.
