Safe, Accurate and Economical Leak Detection Services for AST's

Mass Technology Corporation is a leading provider of precision testing for aboveground fluid storage tanks. Our mass measurement system - which is applicable to all types and sizes of tanks and viscous products - is safer, more economical, and more precise than conventional testing methods. It is field-proven and third-party certified. Employing improved pressure-sensing transducers, enhanced data collection, and experience gained from practical applications, Mass Technology's system detects leaks at a threshold of less than 0.80 gallons per hour in a 100,000 barrel tank.

Our technique involves lowering a bubbler unit to the tank bottom. A differential reference tube is placed just above the liquid surface. Nitrogen gas is conveyed to the bubbler unit at a precisely controlled rate, and an additional tube is attached that eliminates the friction and subsequent back-pressure affects on the differential pressure transducer. The pressure required to generate a stream of bubbles at tank bottom corresponds to the differential pressure as a result of the fluid mass. The pressure is measured by a micro-sensitive differential pressure transducer, which is recorded on a real-time basis and post processed. Data analysis routines accurately calculate any changes in the mass of fluid within the tank and determine if there is a loss.
