Acoustic Ultrasound in Petro-Chem
The intrinsically safe CTRL UL101 is a critical tool for the leak detection and diagnosing valves.
Leak Detection
Safety
Leaks can be hazardous to people and the environment, and can cause injury.
Emissions
Leak detection can reduce emissions, which can help facilities avoid enforcement actions and reduce emissions fees.
Resource conservation
Leaks can waste valuable resources, which can add up to large losses over time.
Damage minimization
Leak detection can help minimize damage to the company's image, and to the environment and people.
Repair costs
Leak detection can help minimize the high costs associated with repair, renovation, and breakdowns.

A Better Methodology
Ultrasound is a faster and less expensive technique than traditional leak detection methodologies.
One method of leak detection in refineries is to use a helium tracer and detector. In this method, the normal fluid is removed from the line, and the line is pressurized with a test gas that contains helium. A helium detector is then used to sense the presence of helium in the air above the line.
Ultrasound, however, has several advantages:
-
Faster
-
Less Expensive
-
Easier to Use
-
Not Affected by Wind
-
Detects from Greater Distances - up to 300ft (100m)
