Vanmok LD Studio
Cloud Based Leak Detection Technology
In order to increase the safety of the pipeline and preserve environment from potential leaks, Vanmok has developed Pipeline Leak Detection Software, which can detect leaks ranging in size from 0.5% of nominal flow rate (such as leaks from pinholes) to ruptures within 200 meters** accuracy in a short span of time (less than few minutes). Vanmok LD™ Studio works with traditional SCADA systems.
Unlike incumbent technologies that fail to detect small leaks and Cry Wolf, Vanmok LD provides reliable system for detecting leaks as small as pinholes.
Our leak detection system is specialized in distinguishing between the column separation and leak and sends only True Positive Alarms. In addition to distinguishing between the column separation and leak, in the instances that both a leak and column separation occur, Vanmok LD™ Studio predicts leak (segment, leak percentage and leak location) as well as the timing of the inception and evolution of column separation. More details can be found at: Columnfinder™.

|
| Accuracy | Leaks can be localized within ±200 meters* regardless of leak size from pinholes to ruptures |
| Reliability | No nuisance/false alarms for steady state and transient operating conditions. |
| Robustness | In the event of instrumentation failure (i.e., pressure, flow and temperature transmitters loss or failure, pump lockouts and valve status change), Vanmok LD maintains its leak detection functionality without degradation. |
Vanmok LD is capable of accurately locating the detected leak by application of numerical methods that derives the leak location. Under most operating conditions the location accuracy is highly acceptable for applications such as theft detection and small volume leak detection. Leak Spotter™ helps in leak detection and localization.
Vanmok LD™ technology can be used effectively for theft detection by precisely locating the hot tapping by thieves within 200 meters ** in less than a few minutes.
The rupture detector within LeakSpotter™ uses built-in logic to discover any abrupt signature of big leak events and simultaneously distinguish it from other possible sources of those abrupt changes, such as variations in the pipeline’s operating conditions.
