Leak Detection – Visolite Powder:
Leak Detection Powder was developed to reduce the time spent by plant personnel spent in identifying leaks in failed bags. In the past, each bag used to be manually inspected for holes, tears and other mechanical failures. This process was time-consuming and ineffective, given that structural air leaks in the system, such as welding cracks, cannot be detected unless they clearly visible. Furthermore, such procedures involved extensive exposure of maintenance personnel to a dusty atmosphere.
Leak Detection Powder is a lightweight fluorescent powder that is injected into a baghouse. The powder takes the path of least resistance and tracer will accumulate around the source of leakage to quickly and easily pinpoint the location of the leak. A black light is used to locate areas of accumulated powder, as the fluorescent powder glows brightly under such a light.
Please note: It is important to choose the appropriate colour for your specific application. Our Leak Detection Powder is available in the following vibrant colours: Orange, Pink, Green and Yellow.
- Orange: All industries except those where iron oxide is present
- Pink: Good in all industries
- Green: Good in aluminium, cement, and utility industries; good contrasting colour for pink and orange
- Yellow: Good for all industries except cement, lime, asphalt, and utility and co-gen plants where sulphur based dust is present
