This is a list of Superfund sites in Texas designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) environmental law. The CERCLA federal law of 1980 authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a list of polluted locations requiring a long-term response to clean up ...
A tracer-gas leak testing method is a nondestructive testing method that detects gas leaks.A variety of methods with different sensitivities exist. Tracer-gas leak testing is used in the petrochemical industry, the automotive industry, the construction industry [1] and in the manufacture of semiconductors, among other uses.
The primary purpose of leak detection systems (LDS) is to help pipeline controllers to detect and localize leaks. LDS provide alarms and display other related data to the pipeline controllers to assist decision-making. Pipeline leak detection systems can also enhance productivity and system reliability thanks to reduced downtime and inspection ...
A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion.
Typically a helium leak detector will be used to measure leaks in the range of 10 −5 to 10 −12 Pa·m 3 ·s −1. A flow of 10 −5 Pa·m 3 ·s −1 is about 0.006 ml per minute at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP). A flow of 10 −13 Pa·m 3 ·s −1 is about 0.003 ml per century at STP.
HOUSTON (Reuters) -Two people were killed in a chemical release at Pemex's 312,500-barrel-per-day (bpd) Deer Park oil refinery in Texas, the county sheriff said. Up to 35 people at the refinery ...
An open path detector usually costs more than a single point detector, so there is little incentive for applications that play to a point detector's strengths: where the point detector can be placed at the known location of the highest gas concentration, and a relatively slow response is acceptable. The open path detector excels in outdoor ...
