    Leak detection in the petrochemical industry is important for safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance. It is critical to detect leaks from tanks, pipelines, and valves early to prevent damage, risks to the environment and personnel. However, leak detection poses challenges as remote infrastructure is difficult to monitor and maintain, while regulations have become more stringent. Ignoring leak detection risks legal issues, environmental pollution, fires, and employee safety from toxic vapors.

    Leak Detection

    Why is Leak Detection an Issue?


    Safety is the number one concern of most companies involved in the (petro)chemical industry and protecting the
    environment is a close second. The regulatory framework in both areas is getting progressively tighter. It is therefore critical
    to makes sure that leaks of potentially dangerous and/or harmful substances can be detected at an earliest stage. This will
    allow to prevent situations that may lead to tank/equipment damage, environmental risks and compromised personnel
    safety.

    CHALLENGES RISKS
    • Very difficult to detect leaks around tanks, large • Legal issues
    tank farms and pipelines • Environmental pollution
    • Distant tanks, pipelines and valves are typically • Fire risks (flammable vapors)
    remote – making maintenance difficult • Personnel safety risks (toxic vapors)
    • Government regulations concerning chemical plants
    • Reducing environmental issues and improve
    employee safety

    Can be applied to the following tanks:
