Operational Brief

Leak detection for high-risk industrial environments.

Oil, gas and chemical facilities need faster ways to locate leaks without depending only on slow manual inspection. HERTZINNO combines acoustic imaging, laser methane detection, fixed online monitoring and handheld inspection to help teams find, verify and respond to leak risks earlier.

Compressor Stations Gas leaks, abnormal acoustic sources, valve areas and rotating equipment risks.
Process Units Hazardous production areas, chemical processing lines and complex piping networks.
Storage & Tank Areas Tank farms, flange points, pressure systems and outdoor gas monitoring zones.
Pipeline & Valve Areas Pipeline corridors, valve stations, metering areas and remote inspection points.
Leak & Safety Risks

Where leak risks usually appear

Industrial leaks often begin at connection points, pressure systems and moving equipment. The challenge is not only detecting that a leak exists, but locating the source quickly enough for maintenance teams to act.

01

Methane Leakage

Methane leaks around valves, flanges, compressor stations and process areas require both fast localization and concentration verification.

02

Compressed Gas Leaks

Pressurized gas escaping through small openings creates ultrasonic signals that can be located with acoustic imaging.

03

Hazardous-Area Inspection

Oil, gas and chemical sites often require monitoring devices suitable for explosive or harsh industrial environments.

04

Remote & Unmanned Areas

Large yards, tank farms and pipeline stations need fixed or robotic inspection methods that reduce unnecessary personnel exposure.

Detection Architecture

Hear the leak, verify the gas, then act.

Different leak scenarios need different sensing methods. Acoustic imaging helps locate the source, TDLAS methane detection helps verify methane concentration, fixed systems cover high-risk areas, and handheld cameras support routine LDAR inspection and maintenance confirmation.

Acoustic Localization Layer Microphone arrays visualize ultrasonic leak sources on live video for faster source confirmation.
Methane Verification Layer TDLAS laser methane detection helps confirm whether the leak source contains methane.
Fixed Monitoring Layer Online acoustic cameras and PTZ systems monitor high-risk zones without waiting for manual rounds.
Inspection Workflow Layer Handheld devices support LDAR routes, repair verification and report generation after maintenance.
Monitoring Points

Typical monitoring points in oil, gas and chemical sites

HERTZINNO helps match the inspection method to the site layout, from fixed monitoring in hazardous zones to handheld verification during routine maintenance rounds.

Compressor Stations

Monitor valve groups, pipe connections, rotating equipment and pressure systems where gas leaks or abnormal sound signatures may appear.

Valve & Flange Areas

Locate small leak sources in dense piping areas where traditional point inspection can be slow and difficult.

Storage Tank Farms

Cover outdoor tank areas, loading zones and pressure-related connection points with fixed or mobile detection workflows.

Chemical Process Units

Support hazardous-area inspection in complex process units where gas risks, equipment noise and access limitations overlap.

Pipeline Stations

Use fixed, mobile or handheld inspection for metering stations, valve stations and pipeline connection points.

Robotic Patrol Routes

Deploy acoustic payloads on robots or fixed platforms to reduce manual exposure in high-risk inspection areas.

Operational Value

Faster source location than point-by-point inspection

Traditional gas inspection can confirm concentration at a point, but it may still take time to find the source. Acoustic imaging helps teams see where the leak is coming from, while methane laser detection helps verify the gas type.

Inspection Need
Traditional Method
HERTZINNO Approach
Leak localization
Point detector readings and manual search around piping or valves.
Acoustic imaging visualizes the leak source on live video.
Methane verification
Separate methane measurement device after the suspected leak is found.
TDLAS methane detection verifies methane concentration during inspection.
Hazardous zones
Manual inspection requires personnel to enter high-risk areas more frequently.
Fixed and explosion-proof monitoring supports remote observation of key zones.
LDAR workflow
Inspection, documentation and repair verification may happen in separate steps.
Handheld acoustic cameras support faster localization, capture and reporting.
FAQ

Oil, Gas & Chemical Leak Detection FAQ

What types of leaks can HERTZINNO help detect?

HERTZINNO solutions can help locate pressurized gas leaks, methane leaks, compressed air leaks and abnormal acoustic sources around valves, flanges, piping, tanks and process units.

How does acoustic imaging locate a gas leak?

Gas escaping from pressure systems creates ultrasonic sound. A microphone array captures the sound source and overlays it on a video image, allowing inspectors to see where the leak is coming from.

Why combine acoustic imaging with laser methane detection?

Acoustic imaging helps locate the leak source, while TDLAS laser methane detection helps confirm methane concentration. This makes inspection more useful for methane-specific leak programs.

Can these systems be used in hazardous areas?

HERTZINNO provides explosion-proof and hazardous-area monitoring options for oil, gas and chemical environments. The final model should be selected based on the site classification and project requirements.

Is this suitable for LDAR inspection?

Yes. Handheld acoustic and methane detection devices can support LDAR routes by helping inspectors locate sources faster, verify methane-related leaks and document findings for maintenance follow-up.
