A comprehensive ultrasonic leak survey identified 205 nitrogen leaks totaling 534 CFM and more than $1 million in estimated annual loss. The survey also uncovered previously unknown combustible gas leaks in flare gas, hydrogen and natural gas lines. Download the case study to see how field-verified data gave the refinery a prioritized path to reduce nitrogen consumption, lower costs and improve site safety.  Download Case Study Download Case Study ------------------------------------------------------------ ABOUT THIS CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------ Source: https://www.hydrusworks.com/resources/field-data-uncovers-costly-leaks-and-unexpected-safety-risks Author: Hydrus Works Published: September 1, 2026 This content is provided for informational purposes.
