HySense

HySense

The HySense is a distributed fiber-optic hydrocarbon leak detection sensor system designed for smart infrastructure monitoring. The HySense system monitors for any type of hydrocarbons including gases such as hydrogen, methane, ethane, propane, and others, as well as hydrocarbon liquids such as gasoline, jet-fuel, and lubricant oils. The HySense system operates in two modes, leak detection and leak localization, and will trigger an alarm within seconds of exposure contact. The fast and accurate response of the sensor provides reliable leak detection for pipelines, storage tanks, pressure tanks, pumps, and valves to detect issues immediately and minimize potentially catastrophic damage.
