Hydrocarbon Liquid Leak Detection & Location
Technology From France
Subtitle: TTK, leading French manufacturer of liquid leak detection systems for more than 20
years, has developed and launched its new hydrocarbon leak detection sense cables (FG-OD):
re-usable, quick responding, detecting hydrocarbon liquids and non-conductive solvents along
its entire length.
Key words: oil leakage, fuel leak detection and location, hydrocarbon liquids, non-conductive
solvents, pipeline, storage tank, explosive area.
TTK is launching a new range of Hydrocarbon Sense Cables: FG-OD. These sense cables are
addressable, re-usable, multi-leaks and can be used for long-line systems. FG-OD cables are to
be connected to TTK digital control panels, namely FG-NET Touch Screen Digital Panel -
available on the market since 2011.
The FG-NET system with FG-OD hydrocarbon sense cable is the suitable answer to detect and
locate leaks of hydrocarbon liquids or non-conductive solvents, and to protect effectively
sensible / hazardous areas.
In this system, the sense cables ensure a continuous protection of areas where production /
distribution pipes or storage tanks are located. FG-OD sense cables are available in standard,
pre-connected lengths, (3 m, 7m and 12m) or cut-to-length reels (120m or 360m) for long-line
applications, allowing optimized system architecture.

In the event of hydrocarbon leakage,
- The sense cable in contact with the liquid detects and transmits to the digital unit the
information of leakage.
- The FG-NET unit triggers an audible alarm, activates relays and displays the location of the leak
on an integrated dynamic map.
- What’s more, FG-NET unit can report to the BMS; send alerts in email and SNMP traps to a LAN-
connected BMS.

FG-OD Hydrocarbon Sense Cable’s Features & Benefits
• Can be reused.
• Quick detection times: Gasoline: 3-5 minutes (*), Diesel Oil: 15-20 minutes (*), Jet Fuels: shorter
times than Diesel Oil.
Note (*): depending on liquid composition and leak conditions
•Reliable detection: insensitive to water, small pollutions, dirtiness, external loads (pressure).
•Sense cable construction including proprietary silicone sensing wire, continuity wire,
communication bus wire and power supply wires.
• Multiple leak detection and localisation thanks to independent digital addressing, enabled by an
embedded microchip in each FG-OD sense cable.
• The same unit can be connected to both hydrocarbon sense cables and Water or Acids/Bases
sense cables at the same time.
• Easy to install and remove.
• Small in diameter (7 mm nominal) with a protective external PE braid in an orange colour.
Application examples
Storage tanks / pipe networks carrying liquid hydrocarbons / non-conductive solvents in oil
refineries, petrochemical plants, research centers, power generator rooms, airports (fuel
distribution network), liquid pipelines, oil tankers.
