Internal valve leak detectionwithout shutdown
Detect and quantify through-valve leakage on site with a mobile acoustic emission workflow. Valve Sense helps industrial teams prioritize repairs before internal leaks cause product loss, energy loss, emissions or safety risks.
Leakages can lead to:
Losses
Leaking valves do not only lead to the loss of process material; in the case of steam valves, leaks also lead to high energy losses.
Risk of injury
Many valves are used to shut off processes in order to repair equipment in this area. Leaking valves can endanger workers.
Contamination
Leaks can lead to contamination or, in the worst case, environmental pollution
An Example
Already a valve with a steam loss of ~100kg/h generates annual losses of over EUR 30,000. And large plants have hundreds, sometimes thousands of valves in their processes.
How do companies handle the problem today?
- Many companies replace valves on a regular basis without diagnosis due to lacking know-how → costly
- Some companies pause the machines to use test benches → time consuming
- Only a few companies use mobile inspection systems → expert know-how required
Valve Sense supports you in identifying and quantifying through-valve leakage before it can cause any severe damage to your assets.
Fast, guided, reliable
Relevant industries
Assets in chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas processing, steel, food and beverage and other industrial process facilities often operate in high-temperature, high pressure environments and sometimes even engage with hazardous chemicals. In all these processes valves play a crucial role in transporting a medium (e.g. gas, oil, water, product). Intact valves ensure smooth operation, guarantee product quality and also provide safety for employees.
