RFP Title
NineSigma, representing a global leader in engineered technologies for the Oil & Gas industry, invites proposals for a gas sensing technology that can detect and quantify leaks of process gas from refining, gas transmission or petrochemical assets. The proposed technology must be able to detect a wide range of gases at a low threshold of detection, and to determine leakage rate. The approach must be robust for use in challenging industrial environments.
The ability to monitor gas emissions from turbomachinery equipment has significant benefits for the refining, gas transmission and petroleum industry. Devices that can detect gas leaks:
The RFP client is seeking technologies and approaches that indicate leaks of process gasses in turbomachinery. Any proposed approach must have the ability to both detect and quantify the leak.
Facilities are generally required to report when leakage rates result in a concentration in the area immediately surrounding the equipment above 10,000 ppm. Many sites voluntarily track when concentrations are above 250ppm. The client would like to find an approach that allows for a minimum detection threshold of 0.5 ppm. Based on current technologies, an accuracy of +/- 25% is considered possible.
A successful solution will:
The sensing element should have a predictable service life and the system should be able to monitor the health of the sensing element.
Possible approaches might include, but are not limited to:
The following approaches are not of interest:
