LEOS - Leak Detection at a Glance


LEOS - Features at a glance

  • Extremely high detection sensitivity (typical 1 l/h for liquids, 100 l /h for gases)

  • Fast response time (typical 2 - 24 h)

  • High accuracy of leak localization (0.5 % of monitored length: e.g. 50 m on 10 km)

  • Automatic integral self-test

  • Very low operation and maintenance costs

  • Identification of leak substance possible (by
    use of special gas analyzers and air sampling)

  • Large variety of detectable media (gases and liquids)

  • Each system can monitor up to 2 x 25 km of
    pipeline

  • Works under & above ground and submerged in water

  • Up to date no leak remained undetected (including leak simulation field tests)

  • 100% reliability of installed tubes (275 km of LEOS tubes installed by 2009)
