Acoustic detection with remote monitoring
Fiber optic sensing
The optical sensor captures acoustic emissions from a leak, with signal processing handled by electronics in a safe area.
360° detection
Omnidirectional sensing monitors sound from all directions without aiming the sensor at a single source.
Wireless alarm reporting
GSM, 4G, LoRa and Sigfox provide communication options for sending alarms and operating data to the monitoring system.
Full description
Detect the acoustic signature of a gas leak
EN-GAS-DECT monitors the sound associated with escaping gas. A fiber optic acoustic sensor captures the signal and passes it to remote electronics for analysis. This acoustic approach makes leak-generated sound the basis of detection.
The sensor responds to sound across 360°, so it does not need to be aimed at a single source. Omnidirectional sensing is useful in process areas with equipment arranged around the monitoring location. Sensor placement should account for the equipment layout and the sound environment at the site.
Optical sensing with electronics in a safe area
The system separates the fiber optic sensor from its processing electronics, which are installed in a safe area. The sensor carries ATEX certification, with installation requirements determined by the area classification and product documentation.
A high-performance microcontroller analyzes the captured signal, using processing designed to reduce false alarms. Where machinery and other sound sources operate nearby, background noise is an important consideration when configuring the monitoring system.
Bring detection data into your monitoring workflow
Wireless communication options include GSM, 4G, LoRa and Sigfox for transmitting alarms and monitoring data. The appropriate connection depends on available coverage, existing network infrastructure and the system receiving the information.
IoT and SCADA integration allows acoustic leak detection to become part of the facility’s monitoring workflow. Configuration covers the communication link, data destination and alarm handling requirements of the supervisory system.
Plan for indoor and outdoor installations
Battery power and weather-resistant construction support installations inside process buildings and across outdoor plant areas. Typical settings include chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical facilities and gas distribution stations.
When specifying a system, review the monitoring locations, operating noise, area requirements and wireless network availability. These details help establish sensor placement and the connection to the facility’s control infrastructure.
