Perenco has included 12 Groveley Detection ultrasonic gas leak detectors in its refit of the Trent gas production platform in the southern North Sea.
Groveley supplied its UK-built GDU-Incus ultrasonic pressurised gas leak detectors, which it commissioned and tested to Perenco’s performance specification.
The hemispherical airborne leak detector has the ability to ‘hear’ deadly gas leaks even in the harshest of weather and a -55°C to +85°C operating temperature range ensures functionality in the most extreme environments. It has extended area coverage and features such as self-testing and cleaning.
Groveley Detection’s managing director Robert Bennet said: “Beforehand we provided a full ultrasonic mapping survey to verify the location and quantity of detectors and worked with Perenco to optimise the system layout in the event of a leak.”
