Electronic Line Leak Detection

EVO ELLD - Hero.psd

Electronic Line Leak Detection

EVO™ Series Electronic Line Leak Detection (ELLD) is designed to provide early detection of leaks in pressurized fuel lines. The system features automatic submersible pump shutdown in the event of a leak, minimizing the risks of costly spills and environmental cleanup. 

 

 

ELECTRONIC LINE LEAK DETECTION

This pressure-based system utilizes learned line characteristics to monitor for changes in pressure to declare the line as tight or determine if a leak is present.

Optional software feature of EVO™ 600 and EVO™ 6000


Utilizes pressure transducer installed in the submersible pump 


Compatible with submersible pumps generating 25 psi or more


Automatically learns the pressure characteristics of each line


Automated 3 gph (11 lph), 0.2 gph (0.8 lph), and 0.1 gph (0.4 lph) testing

Performs 3 gph leak test after every dispense cycle or 45 min


Performs 0.2 gph monthly / 0.1 gph annual tests during quiet periods


Compatible with flexible, rigid, or combination of pipe


Positive pump shutdown in the event of a gross leak


Remote access to line pressure, test, and alarm information

 

KEY ADVANTAGES

Unlike other Electronic Line Leak Detection solutions, all testing and compliance features come standard with EVO™ Electronic Line Leak Detection software option.

EVO ELLD - Icon - Autolearn.psd

 

EVO™ leverages AUTO-LEARN® technology to automatically program the unique pressure characteristics of each pipework system. This ensures precise, customized leak detection, reducing the risk of false alarms and enhancing overall system accuracy.

EVO ELLD - Icon - Dynamic.psd

 

With Statistical Line Leak Detection (SLLD), EVO™ allows sites with constant fuel flow to perform 0.2 gph leak testing even during peak operation. This is ideal for busy fuel stations where quiet periods are rare, ensuring continuous compliance without disrupting operations.

EVO ELLD - Icon - Compliance.psd

 

EVO™ streamlines the regulatory process by automating 3 gph, 0.2 gph, and 0.1 gph line leak detection compliance testing. This feature ensures that your system meets environmental standards effortlessly, with the EVO™ automatically performing the necessary tests at regular intervals.

KEY BENEFITS

With EVO™ Series Electronic Line Leak Detection, potential leaks are detected early, helping you to avoid costly downtime, environmental risks, and regulatory penalties.

24/7 CONTINUOUS MONITORING

EVO™ provides around-the-clock monitoring, ensuring constant protection for fueling systems. This proactive detection allows for immediate identification of leaks, helping prevent environmental risks and costly downtime.

AUTOMATE LEAK DETECTION

EVO™ eliminates the risk of errors from manual setup and the  intervention typically required with mechanical leak detection. Through automation, EVO™ delivers more precise and reliable leak detection and reduces the need for human involvement.

SIMPLIFY COMPLIANCE TESTING

EVO™ simplifies regulatory compliance with automated testing and built-in reporting features. Testing schedules and reports are handled automatically, making it easier to maintain compliance and streamline audits without added effort.
