Acoustic Monitoring System – Boiler Leak Detector

The MISTRAS Acoustic Monitoring System (AMS) provides early tube leak detection on pressurized vessels such as gas fired power boilers, recovery boilers and feedwater heaters. The AMS technology has been used in conventional power boilers for more than 25 years and provides 24-7, real-time data that detects and tracks the progression of tube leaks. The AMS listens for changes in normal boiler background noise, a rise in which indicates a leak. Those acoustic monitoring capabilities via the AMS provide early indication of tube leaks well before traditional plant methods, which reduces secondary damage and informs plant personnel in making any number of operational, market, and outage decisions.
