Rapid detection and location of a leak on a pipeline is critical.

Using fluid science, deep learning, and cloud computing, the SPL Leak Detection System quickly and accurately detects and locates leaks in your pipeline — and can be used proactively to test pipeline integrity before commissioning.

What we do

Two applications. One technology.

The same high-rate pressure-sampling stack powers two distinct products — continuous pipeline monitoring and the hydrostatic test required before a line goes into service.

Pipeline Leak Detection

Real-time monitoring catches the negative pressure wave (NPW) from a rupture and pinpoints the location along miles of line — fast enough to act before the spill grows.

How it works

Hydrostatic Leak Testing

The same sampling stack runs the regulatory hydrostatic test required before a pipeline goes live or after a Maximum Operating Pressure change — field-installable, no mod/demob charges.

Cloud-native data

Up to 200 samples per second per station, streamed over Verizon or AT&T cellular. SCADA-compatible alarms. Every sample retained on a customer-accessible dashboard.

About SPL

Built by pipeline operators and flow scientists.

SPL Leak Detection was formed to deliver a more accurate and more affordable way to monitor, prevent, and locate pipeline leaks — combining fluid dynamics, modern internet infrastructure, and decades of oilfield operations experience.

A team of seasoned pipeline industry professionals teamed up with experts in internet technology and flow science to develop the technology behind the SPL100 over several years.
