Method.

The pipeline leak detection system finds leaks in sub-sea pipelines by sensing the fluorescence of leaking hydrocarbons or, for pipeline commissioning, by introducing fluorescent dyes (such as Rhodamine, Fluorescein or Agma EP1186/MIS). The system is extremely sensitive and is capable of detecting leaks at levels as low as 1 ppm in sea water.

Deployment.

 

The Sub-sea Pipeline Leak Detection System works to full ocean depths. Leaks are found by tracking the pipeline with the leak detection system using an ROV, AUV, towed vehicle or hand held by a diver.

Rapid world-wide availabilty with experienced Chelsea operators  .

The Sub-sea Leak Detection System is available for hire with one of our experienced  operators. Chelsea Technologies Group can respond to companies who require rapid deployment of the system and personnel. We can mobilize at short notice, usually within 24 hours, and the hardware has been designed to be transported by air with the operating technicians.

Interpretation of Data .

Experienced operators analyses & interprets data in real-time

Data from the Pipeline Leak Detection System is transmitted directly to a computer on board the attendant vessel where one of Chelsea Technologies Group's highly experienced operators analyses and interprets the data in real-time. The data can also be recorded for subsequent analysis.

Detection of leaks in hydraulic fluid pipelines  .

Castrol Hydraulic Fluid Leak Detection System

Chelsea Technologies Group has developed and supplied leak detection systems specially tuned for fluorescent tracers in Production Control fluids. These have been deployed to detect leaks in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Asia Pacific. Detection of other control fluids and injection chemicals can also be accommodated (details on request).
