TraceTek TT5000 for Single Wall Fuel Piping gains Florida Approval

The Florida State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently approved the use of the TraceTek TT5000 fuel leak detection system for single wall pipeline applications.
After a review of third party testing of the TraceTek system, the DEP agreed that the system will provide environmental protection "equivalent to that provided by compliance with the requirements" of the Florida regulations.

The TraceTek system is a high sensitivity, external leak detection system that operates independently of pipeline or storage tank operations. Large numbers of pipeline and above ground storage tank leaks start very slowly and go undetected for weeks or months. Often, it is not until a large volume of fuel has contaminated the ground that these slow leaks are finally found. The TraceTek system detects these leaks within hours, before fuel has spread into the surrounding environment, and notifies maintenance personnel of the exact location of the leak. By detecting these leaks while they are still very small, TraceTek minimizes environmental damage and substantially reduces leak remediation costs.
