Power Cable Fault Detection & Location Analysis
For large power cable assets such as subsea cables, windfarm export cables or HV onshore transmission cables, finding cable faults rapidly is crucial to minimizing downtimes caused by these faults. Fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a key enabler for this task, as it pinpoints the exact location of an occurring cable fault if permanently installed or post-fault during thumping/flashover generation campaigns. The following examples summarize AP Sensing’s recent experience providing fault-finding services (both online and offline) with our DAS system.

AP Sensing Monitors Alcohol Tanks in Chile
AP Sensing's Fiber Optic Linear Heat Detection (FO LHD) solution was selected to monitor a tank farm in the Panimex Quimica chemical plant in Chile. The project specifications stipulated one tradition LHD system per tank, but due to poor past experiences with false alarms and continuous maintenance, the operator chose AP Sensing's FO LHD. An additional benefit is only one FO LHD unit is needed to monitor all the tanks.

Safeguarding a 27 km Natural Gas Pipeline
A natural gas pipeline operator in Thailand sought out a solution to protect its pipeline from Third Party Interference (TPI). Previously, employees had been expected to patrol the pipeline 24/7, but a more effective solution was needed. The client conducted various trials in 2019 to compare AP Sensing to competing systems and was very happy with the results of AP Sensing's Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system.
