TURNAROUND: SPEED UP GAS LEAK DETECTION

Streamline tightness testing during Turnaround & Commissioning

Speed up tightness testing phases while reducing manpower thanks to Acoustic Leak Imaging (ALI).

Testing pressurized equipment for leaks can be a cumbersome process. That is why companies like Shell, TotalEnergies, BASF, Air Liquide rely on Distran’s cameras to make tightness testing faster, safer, and easier for their teams.

Turnarounds and Commissioning are time-critical operations where any delay impacts operations, download our brochure to understand why industrial leaders choose Distran.

Browse real-life examples, to grasp how Distran cameras support your teams:

• Move fast with instant leak pinpointing: Cover vast areas by detecting leaks at a distance, leverage the 180° field of view and avoid working at heights.

• Rely on a unique device for all gases: Ultrasonic imaging detects leaks of all types of gases without cumbersome detection process and/or resorting to tracing gases.

• Inspect under normal operating conditions: Distran cameras excel at finding leaks in noisy areas, no need to halt operations.

• Safer by design: Detect leak without contact with the gases, intrinsically safe device version available for use within hazardous areas.

Efficient commissioning of new facilities

During the commissioning phase of Vito, Shell’s most efficient oil and gas platform ever built, field teams deployed Distran’s technology to check every pipe and joint for leaks.

“During commissioning, we pressurize the system with air. The Distran camera finds and locates leaks quickly.

It is extremely sensitive. With it, we can pick up the smallest of sounds. It saves our teams a lot of time while making sure the system is safe and leak-tight.”
