Hey Guys,
I have a project we are working on that involves pumping Sulfuric Acid ~1,800 ft to a new tank. This will be a permanent install, the line will be 316L SS with sleeved inside a larger HDPE Pipe. We are in a preliminary engineering phase right now, we expect the SS pipe to be ~8" diameter and the HDPE pipe ~20" diameter.
We recognize this will be a maintenance nightmare to repair the leaks, we are having a hard time identifying how our leak detection system will operate. The ideas we have all seem pretty primitive, there has to be better options out there. We will need to be able to identify the approximate location of the leak, shut off the pumps and make the repair. I'm out of my element with this one but it's hard for me to imagine there isn't a solution out there. Has anyone designed or installed something similar in their careers?
TIA
