Leak Detection for Aboveground Storage Tanks

Mass Technology's method of leak detection is not only less costly and safer than conventional methods, it is also more precise. Our mass measurement system eliminates the guesswork involved with other technologies. The measured variable - the pressure imposed by the mass of the fluid contents of the tank - is a quantitative measurement. The fluid containment capability of the tank is determined, as well as an accurate measurement of the leak rate, if a leak exists. The system is capable of measuring leak rates of less than one gallon per hour in 60,000-barrel storage tanks. This is a detection capacity of less than one part per million based on tank capacity.

Safe and Cost-Effective Testing Solutions

Cost-effective use of technology sets Mass Technology apart.

  • Our system does not disturb the tank’s structure, foundation, or surrounding soil.
  • Set-up time and capital investment costs are minimized.
  • Our test system is intrinsically safe.
  • The process in no way alters the loading or pressure on the tank structure.
  • The measured variable is the mass of the fluid in the tank itself.
  • Results are not generated by exception as in other systems.
  • Chemical additives are not mixed with the tank contents.
  • Upon completion of the test, all components of the test system are recovered and removed from your site.

Mass Technology’s innovative testing system is safer and more cost-effective than conventional methods. Conventional leak detection methods often require content removal, cleaning, and physical inspection. Exposure of service personnel to tank contents and to the risks associated with tank entry is eliminated. In addition, conventional inspections not only disrupt business, they also require the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes.

Mass Technology’s state-of-the-art system is not restricted by fluid type, fluid temperature, fluid level, or tank size. Multiple tank testing can be accomplished simultaneously to further reduce the total time involved and rapidly identify problem areas.
