EZ Vision
Wireless acoustic leak location detection for critical well control systems
What EZ Vision solves
- Reduces time spent location pressure leaks
- Eliminates guesswork in low visibility environments
- Minimizes personnel exposure in red zone areas
- Enables faster decision-making during pressure testing
- Improves safety during high pressure operations
What it does
- Detects acoustic signatures associated with leaks
- Pinpoints leak location across valves and connections
- Provides real-time status updates from each sensor
- Displays leak intensity and relative severity in the HMI
- Identifies multiple leaks simultaneously
How it works
- Wireless, battery powered acoustic sensors mount directly to equipment
- Integrated magnetic feet allow fast installation on ferrous surfaces
- Sensors filter ambient industrial noise to isolate leak signatures
- Sensors communicate wirelessly with a central gateway
- Gateway communicates status and intensity data to the HMI
- Intuitive HMI displays sensor values and intensity graphs
Where it is used
- Gate valves and plug valves
- Frac heads and wellhead equipment
- Blowout preventers and BOP stacks
- Mechanical connections and temporary iron
- Offshore and land-based oil and gas operations
- Third party pressure testing services
- Low visibility environments including:
- low light
- elevated locations
- wet conditions
Key Features
- Quick installation and setup
- Wireless communication up to approximately 1,250 ft
- Intrinsically safe, Class 1 Division1 rated
- Configurable system coverage from 1 to 30 sensors
- Continuous sensor status via HMI
Operational Benefits
- Significantly reduces time required to locate leaks
- Reduces personnel exposure to hazardous areas
- Improves leak detection in challenging environments
- Enables identification of multiple leaks at the same time
- Supports safer and more efficient pressure testing operations
Performance Overview
- Specifics
- Maximum detection range approximately 15 ft depending on leak profile
- Minimum detectable decay approximately 3 psi/min
- Battery life approximately 40 hours depending on usage
- Recommendations
- Pressure range minimum is approximately 100 psi
- Higher pressures improve the detection performance
- Sensor coverage of at least 50% of valves and major connection points
- A typical deployment uses approximately 20 sensors
* Performance varies based on pressure, equipment type, leak profile, and test volume. Understanding these factors helps achieve optimal results.
