Ruggedized Leak Detection for Demanding Industrial Applications
PROTECT AGAINST LEAKS.
With almost four decades of expertise, PermAlert leak detection systems are widely used across many manufacturing and industrial processing plants. Our systems are installed in many industrial applications for sensing chemicals, wastewater, flammable, and/or corrosive liquids. With the built-in output that can be easily integrated with third-party equipment, such SCADA, PermAlert provides seamless protection to any facility.
TANK FARMS
In fuel or chemical tank farm environments, even a small leak can lead to a catastrophic event leading to hundreds of gallons per year, triggering costly environmental cleanup, regulatory fines, and revenue loss. The average cleanup cost for an undetected underground storage tank leak runs around $154,000, with high-risk sites potentially exceeding $1 million in remediation expenses.
Our technology offers a purpose-built leak detection system engineered for tank farms and fuel storage facilities. Its ATEX and IECEX approved system, PermAlert leak detection system monitor hydrocarbons and liquids along tank perimeters, piping, berms, and containment areas—delivering early detection and pinpoint location of leaks.
PIPELINES
Pipeline failures—whether from corrosion, wear-and-tear, external damage, or operational errors—can lead to catastrophic outcome with thousands to millions of gallons of hazardous liquids before detection. Studies show that on average, 85% of product released remains unrecovered, and annual environmental remediation costs in the U.S. total around $140 million, contributing to an estimated $326 million in overall incident costs per year.
Release of heavily hazardous liquids in densely populated areas pose severe life-safety risks, including fire, explosion, and toxic exposure. Even small undetected leaks can escalate into major emergencies, demanding rapid detection and remediations to protect people and assets.
Given that these pipelines are long-term assets, PermAlert’s highly ruggedized leak detection system provides a reliable, minimal maintenance, and long service life. Utilizing time-domain reflectometry (TDR) sensor cables and probes, it continuously monitors for hydrocarbon leaks across pipeline routes, containment zones, and right-of-way corridors.
