What are leaks?
Leaks occur when there is a break or defect in the pipes, tanks, or other equipment within a water treatment plant. They can be caused by worn-out seals, corrosion, or simply a manufacturing defect.Methods of leak detection
There are several methods used to detect leaks in water treatment plants, including hydrostatic pressure testing (HPT), ultrasonic testing, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
Monitoring and treatment
Once a leak is detected, it must be monitored to determine the extent of the damage. This can involve visual inspections, water quality monitoring, or even using specialized equipment like cameras and sensors.
