Sonardyne Debuts Leak Detection at OSEA 2012

Yateley, United Kingdom, November 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- At OSEA 2012, Sonardyne Asia Pte Ltd. will be presenting a new automatic leak detection sonar to the Asian Offshore industry. The Automatic Leak Detection Sonar (ALDS) will be on stand BV5-07 alongside products from Sonardyne’s 6G® range. Held every two years, the 19th OSEA will be taking place at The Marina Bay Sands, Singapore from 27th-30th November.

Sonardyne’s ALDS is designed to continuously monitor one billion cubic feet of water for leaks around subsea oil and gas assets. Capable of 360° coverage, it can detect leaks at rates of less than one barrel per day at ranges in excess of 500 metres in deep water. For those keen to get hands-on with the latest acoustic positioning technology for offshore survey and construction, Sonardyne’s Autonomous Monitoring Transponders (AMTs) and GyroUSBL will be of particular interest. AMTs are designed for long endurance data collection whilst Lodestar GyroUSBL requires only an initial calibration, enabling significant savings in vessel time and operational costs.

“OSEA is the premier oil and gas event in the region, attracting exhibitors and delegates from over 60 countries,” said Anthony Gleeson, Vice President of Sales in the Asia Pacific region for Sonardyne. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with customers in the region and this year we’re particularly excited to be introducing ALDS as it’s the first time it has been exhibited in the region.”
