| Pembroke Refinery |
Hazard detection specialist Groveley Detection has supplied and commissioned six of its GDU-Incus ultrasonic pressurised gas leak detectors to Chevron’s former Pembroke Refinery, now owned by Valero.
The units will monitor potential leaks on a natural gas pipeline, covering a metering skid, pig catch area and pressure let down station.
Groveley Detection’s managing director Robert Bennet said: “After market analysis by our client, the GDU-Incus was selected as the best for the application – one reason being that the product is built in the UK.”
The hemispherical airborne leak detector has the ability to ‘hear’ deadly gas leaks even in the harshest of weather. It has a -55°C to +85°C operating temperature range for functionality in the most extreme environments, extended area coverage and features include self-testing and cleaning.
Groveley’s site engineers carried out a full mapping and system functional verification as part of the commissioning procedure.
The Pembroke Refinery is located on the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. Opened in 1964, it was first owned by the Regent Oil Company and is one of the largest, most complex refineries in Western Europe.
