Digital LNG Leak Detection

When your assets contain extremely valuable or potentially hazardous product, you can’t take any chances with the condition of your vessel walls. To detect and prevent leaks, you need near real time updates that let you know precisely what is happening - and where.

Wherever your monitoring gaps, only Digital LNG Leak Detection gives you the update speeds to pinpoint leaks as and when they happen.

  • Rapid leak detection with update intervals down to 10 seconds 
  • The sensitivity you require to detect the smallest leak or corrosion event 0.01°C
  • Continuously monitor your entire pipeline with systems every 60 kilometres

For LNG terminals safety is of critical importance and early detection and location of events is essential. With conventional leak detection systems there is no system that is able to provide full coverage throughout the LNG terminal that has the capability to pinpoint the exact location of any leaks.Based on distributed fibre optic sensing technology, Sensornet's Digital Leak Detection system provides a revolutionary cryogenic monitoring solution that can instantly locate a leak anywhere in the LNG terminal. The following applications within an LNG terminal can be monitored using Digital Leak Detection:

  • Loading and unloading pipelines
  • Storage tanks (monitoring the annulus)
  • Tank base monitoring
  • Spill channels and impounding basins

Sensornet’s Digital Leak Detection system is an intrinsically safe, extremely sensitive system with the capability to detect the smallest of leaks. Leaks can be rapidly detected (10 seconds or less) and pinpointed to within 1m anywhere within the terminal using this technology. This rapid location minimises response time and minimizes downtime typically required to find and repair the leak. Sensornet’s technology is a permanent monitoring solution and continuously monitors all points along the pipe and vessels at all times – providing complete integrity, and leaving no room for uncertainty.

Benefits of Digital Leak Detection are provided at all levels of the organisation - from Asset Manager to the Operational Level. Advantages include:

  • Improved safety of infrastructure and personnel.
  • Any leaks are detected rapidly and exact location of events are pinpointed down to the nearest 1m - action can be taken immediately
  • Enhanced system reliability through reduced downtime and reduced inspection time
  • Suitable for use in hazardous zones (zone 0), the sensor has been independently rated to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3).
  • System is fully automated. Can be interfaced with exisiting SCADA and industrial control system using standard protocols.
