The Application
Double wall piping is often used to transport hazardous or environmentally unfriendly liquids from one area of a plant to another. The secondary containment pipe provides a degree of safety if the primary pipe leaks.
The Problem
Some means is required to detect a leak in the primary pipe. Space for mounting a detection sensor is limited.
The Solution
Drexelbrook recommended installation of a collection boot in the secondary containment pipe. We then installed a miniature
RF point level sensor. The sensor detects the presence of liquid inside the containment pipe and sends an alarm to the control room.
Benefits
• Detects leak in primary containment pipe.
• Reduces unscheduled downtime.
• No routine maintenance required. Install it and forget it.
*Consult factory for higher temperature of pressure.
