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!

Hydrogen energy is here to stay, and possessing the right leak detection method is paramount to ensure its safe use. Last week, our team had the privilege of collaborating with Tim Gardner from MHI Hydrogen Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Power Americas, and Michał Fabianowicz from Emerson. Distran's mission is to reduce industrial risks and mitigate emissions. We develop advanced hydrogen leak detection devices to ensure safety for large hydrogen infrastructure projects. The future of hydrogen power is now! #Hydrogen #LeakDetection #Safety #EnergyInnovation #MitsubishiPower

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.
