Leaks in the agricultural industry can have significant consequences, including crop damage and financial losses.
What is leak detection?
Leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks or other issues that may cause harm to equipment, crops, or personnel. This can be done using various methods, such as sensors, cameras, and manual inspection.
Types of leak detection
- Surface-level leaks: These are the most common type of leak and occur at the surface level. Examples include oil spills or water leaks from pipes.
- Subsurface leaks: These are more difficult to detect but can cause significant damage if left unchecked. Examples include gas leaks or underground water sources.
Benefits of leak detection
Effective leak detection can help prevent crop damage, minimize financial losses, and reduce the risk of environmental hazards.
Additionally, it can also help with maintenance scheduling, resource allocation, and emergency preparedness.
