Leak detection technology is critical for safe and reliable operations for producers and process manufacturers who handle combustible and other hazardous gases. It’s vital to stay ahead of potential safety risks with early detection of gas leaks.
One leak detection technology, ultrasonic noise detection, can provide constant monitoring across a wide area as it “listens” for the release of pressurized gas. The Rosemount Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector enables rapid detection of leaks.
This leak detector incorporates four ultra-sensitive acoustic sensors to identify leak conditions. It is designed for hazardous environments and extreme conditions due to inclement weather or other conditions.
These ultrasonic leak detectors are an excellent choice for oil & gas production wellhead monitoring, compressor stations, transfer stations, and hydrogen leak detection to name a few applications.
This ultrasonic acoustic technology offers several advantages over other leak detection technologies, including:
- Detects gas leaks before a hazardous concentration is present
- The gas cloud does not have to make contact with the sensor for detection to take place
- Detection is instantaneous for all types of gas leaks (toxic or combustible)
- Wide area coverage with a single unit: up to 131ft (40m) diameter
- Unaffected by rain, snow, wind direction, or other environmental factors
