ABSTRACT:
A leak detection and location system is disclosed for chemical storage ponds, conduits and tanks containing environmentally harmful materials. The leak detection system comprises a network of electrically conductive wires placed directly under the reservoir or conduit. The wires are so constructed that should a leak occur, chemicals which escape will corrode the wires or, alternatively, degrade the insulation around the wires, thereby causing a change in the electrical properties of the wires. By detecting the change in electrical properties for each wire affected, the leak can be detected and localized in two dimensions.
