When your pipeline is leaking, your revenue is sinking. It’s as simple as that. Effective monitoring for pipeline system leaks is a critical component of facility management. Utilizing Apogee Scientific's optical technology, our personnel can simultaneously measure methane, hydrocarbon and CO2 levels in ambient air and provide real-time GPS location and leak discovery.

Using Aopgee Scientific’s optical technology, we can simultaneously measure methane, hydrocarbon and CO2 levels in ambient air and provide real-time GPS location and leak discovery.

• System estimates volumetric size of leak
• Integrated GPS tracks progress and leak locations
• No data post processing required; customer can receive daily progress and leak reports
• Monitoring rate – 50 air samples/second; sub-ppm sensitivity from all three test inputs
• System provides real-time GPS location and leak discovery
• LDS establishes a wireless connection
• Apogee Scientific system mounted on ATV
• Survey conducted as fast as terrain allows; typically 20 miles/day

Project Experience

• Surveyed over 1,900 miles of pipe since 2006
• Found approximately 150 leaks
• Discovered significant lost revenue for clients
