Discover how process gases can help you detect and isolate leaks in your piping or tanks
Leak Detection and Pressure Testing
Using Industrial Gases to Detect Leaks and Damaged Pipes Before They Impact Your Bottom Line
Our experts provide a comprehensive, market-proven suite of accurate, reliable detection technologies and nitrogen pumping services for refining, chemical and power plants
Leak Detection for Buried Pipelines, Plant Piping Systems and Underground/Overground Storage Tanks
Our service uses a helium tracer in a gas, usually with nitrogen as a carrier gas, and a sensitive helium detector to quickly locate leaks. The normal fluid is removed from the line, the line is pressurized with the test gas, and then the helium detector is used to sense the presence of helium in the air above the line.
Leak Location for Long-distance Pipelines
Our SeeperTrace™ leak detection service quickly, accurately and cost-effectively locates leaks in buried long-distance pipelines that carry liquids, gases or multi-phase products. It involves adding a tracer to either nitrogen gas or water. A leak as small as 2.5 gallons per day can be detected without service interruption or excavation. SeeperTrace thus allows leaks to be repaired and the test completed without costly project delays.
Leak Detection for Buried Pipelines and Plant Piping Systems
Our helium leak detection service uses a helium tracer in a gas, usually with nitrogen as a carrier gas, and a sensitive helium detector to quickly locate leaks. The normal fluid is removed from the line, the line is pressurized with the test gas, and then the helium detector is used to sense the presence of helium in the air above the line.
Leak Detection for Above - and Underground Storage Tanks and Buried Piping
Our Tracer Tight™ technology is one of the most accurate and sensitive leak detection and location technologies available. Ideal for aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs) and buried piping, this technology is capable of satisfying most local regulatory requirements, and can be used as a compliance, consent decree, due diligence or pinpointing tool. Leaks as small as 1 gallon per day (0.05 gph or 0.15 lph) can be detected without interruption or excavation.
