Fluke Precision Acoustic Imager enables efficiencies for Air Liquide
Summary
Air Liquide has benefited from the ii910 Precision Acoustic Imager, designed by Fluke to make it easier, faster and safer to carry out high-sensitivity detection of gas, corona and partial discharge (PD). Finally, by eliminating the need for secondary cables or other devices, the ii910 gives operators the ability to swap easily between detecting the leak or PD and fixing them. Air Liquide called on the services of Belgium-based Intero – The Sniffers who carried out all the required measurements using the ii910 acoustic imager. Says Sebastiano Carpinteri, Process Engineer at Air Liquide Priolo, says: “Because our Syracuse refinery operates on a 24-hour basis, avoiding downtime is essential. The intuitive device clearly identifies leakages, enables measurements to be carried out without any kind of infrastructure required and makes it easy to produce up-to-date and accurate reports on the locations of leaks.”
