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.

    CCPP: Experiencing a drop in your output? A leak could be the cause. Finding it quickly and safely is the next step! Here’s how ⬇️ When this plant’s operations team noticed a drop in electricity output, they knew something was up with their steam network. Here’s the challenge: how to uncover the leakage point? With Ultra Pro X, the operators are: ✅ Fast: Immediate leak detection—no need for a cumbersome inspection process. ✅ Safe: detect leaks from a distance, avoiding direct contact with steam or other hazardous gases. ✅ Efficient: find the leak under normal operating conditions without extra NDT methods. ✅ Prepared: regular leak searches reduce downtime and extensive maintenance operations. Swiftly identifying the leakage point is crucial for operators and your plant's availability and safety. That’s when Ultra Pro X steps in and supports your teams.

    Vacuum leaks: a shared challenge in space and industry on earth. Between 2018 and 2024, air leaks were discovered on the International Space Station (ISS). From inside the station, these can be seen as "vacuum leaks". Detecting them is difficult as they produce much less sound than overpressure leaks, making them harder to locate - even with ultrasound cameras. In 2020, Distran's technology was chosen among many others to enhance leak detection efforts within the ISS. While our engineers trained experts at the Earth-based control center, who taught astronauts how to use the Ultra Pro to find these tiny leaks, the Ultra Pro was safely delivered by space cargo on December 7th, 2020. Yet, vacuum leaks aren't just an issue in space: ▶️ In thermal power plants, vacuum leaks in the condenser can reduce steam turbine efficiency and plant output. ▶️ In chemical, pharmaceutical, and composites industries, vacuum leaks can compromise product quality and lead to costly inefficiencies. The takeaway? Vacuum leaks disrupt pressure systems, whether in Space or on Earth, leading to inefficiencies, safety risks, and operational challenges. #VacuumLeaks #SpaceTech #PowerGeneration #Safety #Efficiency #LeakDetection https://lnkd.in/gWg7yiC8

    Ana Gutiérrez González, Ph.D., Head of Applications and Training, represented Distran at a recent meeting on Equipment Reliability (ER) in Nuclear Power Plants. The event gathered 51 experts from 19 countries to share best practices and explore solutions for improving ER, following WANO guidelines, which will be compiled into an IAEA document. Special thanks to Laurent Bourdonneau for organizing and giving Distran the chance to showcase how our ultrasonic cameras enhance safety standards by detecting gas leaks early. Looking forward to the IAEA publication in 2025!

    Achieving high performance in Equipment Reliability (ER) is a top priority for Nuclear Power Plants worldwide. Last week, a remarkable team of 51 experts from 19 countries, representing 17 operators and 2 international organizations, convened at CNNP Nuclear Power Research Institute and explored organizational, human and, technical factors essential for ensuring excellence in ER. The team identified good practices in implementing effective equipment reliability programmes at NPPs, using the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) guidelines as a key reference. The visit to CNNP served as a practical case for how performance monitoring techniques can enhance ER programmes. The valuable insights, good practices, and technical solutions shared during the meeting will be compiled into an IAEA document, scheduled for publication in late 2025. Stay tuned! A big thank you to Mr Wang Xin (王欣先) that made it possible at NPRI, Inessa Kovalenko, Shen Linlin (琳琳), Zhang Peilai (张培来) and Yang Hao (杨浩) for their exceptional administrative support in orchestrating this event, and to the speakers and presenters: Jonatan Panozzo Zénere and Marina Panzino (Nucleoeléctrica Argentina S.A.)

    Most offshore platforms rely on trained technicians deploying infrared cameras to detect gas leaks. New technologies are now changing these practices. Infrared cameras are sensitive, high-end equipment that detects hydrocarbon leaks in specific weather conditions. Technicians require extensive training to operate these devices, such as OGI cameras (Optical Gas Imaging), and interpret inspection results. In 2021, TotalEnergies, operating FPSOs in the Gulf of Nigeria, equipped its maintenance teams with Ultra Pro X cameras. This user-friendly device comes with comprehensive training resources, allowing over 50 operators to deploy it daily. Instead of being reserved for only 4 experts, the gas leak detection devices are now accessible to many operators, enabling rapid response and day-to-day operations.
