Gas leak simulation tool is available in trial version

| By Chemical Engineering

Said to be the world’s first, this gas-leak-simulation tool for ultrasonic gas detection can be accessed in a trial version online at the Website http://www.gassonic.com/simulator. The simulator allows users to experience the benefits of ultrasonic gas leak detectors for quick leak detection in challenging conditions found in most outdoor oil-and-gas installations. The system responds to the distinctive ultrasound created by the leak. The detectors pick up gas leaks at the speed of sound without having to wait for the gas to accumulate and physically enter a point-sensor head (conventional point detector) or within a narrow beam (open-path gas detector). The acoustic detection method is thereby unaffected by unknown factors, such as wind conditions, gas dilution and leak direction. — Gassonic A/S, Ballerup, Denmark
