Leak Detection Services, Inc. (LDS) offers acoustic emission valve and trap leak testing services. We routinely test valves and traps used to control the flow of steam, water, and other liquids and gasses common to power plants and other industrial plant environments. If leaking, they will cause a significant decrease in plant efficiency.
Since 2001, we have identified over $1.5 Billion in cycle isolation losses. On average, each tested unit has over $500,000 in cycle isolation losses.
Cycle Isolation Testing
We provide a proven, systematic method of testing all valves and traps important to cycle isolation. The result is an effective ranking of each test item based on its impact on a plant’s performance.
We provide an accurate repair order of each item based on its importance to efficiency (heat rate or output). Loss impact depends on what is leaking, where the leak goes, and how bad the leak is. A large leak is not always more economically important for repair than a medium leak.
We calculate losses produced by each valve and trap in your plant. Then, we rank them in repair order based on their importance to your plant’s overall efficiency.
Our client results speak for themselves.
Since 2001, we have identified over $1.5 Billion in cycle isolation losses.
Typically, we find an average of 6 leakers are responsible for more than 80% of the unit's losses.
We accurately identify which valves to fix first based on their impact on your plant’s overall efficiency/output.
