Ultrasound cameras for remote gas leak detection

Info

Distran develops and sells ultrasound cameras able to "see" ultrasounds: each of the 124 ultrasound sensors on the camera perceives incoming sounds with a slight shift of a fraction of a milliseconds. This allows the algorithms inside the camera to compute back the position of the sound source and to display it in real-time to the user. The principle is similar to antenna arrays used by astronomers or the military. Here, the device is hand-held and allows industrials to quickly spot faults such as gas leak in their installation, often comprising hundreds of kilometers of pipes and thousands of potentially leaky elements. Beyond cost savings, this tool enables to increase industrial safety and decrease emission of green house gases.

    When insightful discussions lead to a spontaneous live experiment! Tests revealed that the Distran Ultra Pro X allows for accurate detection of small gas leaks in noisy environments, with the ability to adjust the detection frequency, a feature that helps minimize the impact of noise from ultrasound sources like drones. At the vgbe Maintenance Conference 2025, Markus Laps teamed up with Susanne Kumm and Alexander Friedland from InspecDrone GmbH for a live demo. They simulated a gas leak and tested the Distran Ultra Pro X alongside the Elios 3 drone. Watch the recap video to see the experiment in action! 👇

    Applications Training Engineer helping Customers to find Gas and Vacuum Leaks with DISTRAN Ultrasound Cameras

    Experimenting Acoustic Leak Imaging beside a flying Elios 3 drone! At the recent vgbe Maintenance Conference 2025 in Magdeburg, I had the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas with industry professionals. Inspired by the discussions, Susanne Kumm & Alexander Friedland from InspecDrone GmbH and myself spontaneously decided to carry out a live experiment on the spot. We simulated a small leak and flew the Elios 3 drone to test how the Distran Ultra Pro X performs in a noisy environment, exploring how drone noise affects detection and how frequency adjustments can improve results. What we found out: 🔍  As the drone took off, its ultrasonic noise, overwhelmed the leak signal, making it impossible to detect at standard default settings. 🔍 By checking the spectrogram, we discovered that the drone emits strong ultrasonic noise across a wide range of frequencies from 20 to 45 kHz, masking the weaker ultrasonic signal from the leak at that frequency range. 🔍 By increasing the detection frequency of the Ultra Pro X to 56.8 kHz, we were able to significantly lower the noise impact of the drone and to visualize the leak beside the flying drone on the camera screen. This experiment provided valuable insights into drone noise levels and demonstrated how selecting the right frequency with the Distran Ultra Pro X can significantly enhance leak detection, even in noisy environments. A big thank you to Susanne & Alexander for their support and to everyone at the vgbe Event for this great experience! Check out the recap video to see the experiment in action!  👇 #LeakDetection #GasLeak #Drone #Inspection #Experiment #PowerPlants #Turnaround #Maintenance

    Just 10% of the leaks are responsible for 75% of total emissions. While detecting them all is essential, fixing the biggest ones first yields the greatest impact. During a storage station’s inspection, the Distran Ultra Pro X camera identified 81 leaks, 78 of which were methane. By quantifying the emissions (in g/h), we confirmed a crucial insight: a few leaks contribute to most emissions. The Ultra Pro X pinpoints leaks, even from an early stage, and instantly estimates their leak rate, enabling operators to focus on the most significant ones first to cut methane emissions faster. By combining comprehensive detection with smart prioritization, operators can achieve the most effective methane reductions—without overlooking smaller leaks. 📩 Interested in learning more?

    How 7.5 mbar vacuum loss could have cost £1.18 million—but didn't. At a UK-based power plant, an elusive vacuum leak in the turbine housing was causing a significant drop in electricity production. Despite multiple attempts, traditional detection methods failed to locate the source. The impact ? Less electricity to sell—leading to a projected £1.18 million revenue loss over a six-month production cycle. Detecting vacuum leaks in turbines is a major challenge for power plant operators. Traditional methods, like helium spraying and downstream sensors, can be: ❌ Time-consuming due to their technical complexity ❌ Expensive, requiring specialized equipment ❌ Risky because of high-temperature exposure Using advanced acoustic imaging, the inspection team was able to: ✅ Find the "invisible" leak instantly, where other methods failed ✅ Reduce the exposure to hot areas ✅ Pinpoint the exact leak location to carry on repairs ✅ Simplify vacuum leak detection, cutting out unnecessary hassle The result? Leak pinpointed, repairs completed, power output restored... and revenue recovered! #PowerGeneration #PowerPlants #Efficiency #Availability #LeakDetection
