Spill & Leak Detection

Detects spills, leaks, pooling liquid and surface contamination on floors, in bunds and around pipework, and logs where and when each appeared.

What it detects

A spill’s cost is set by how long it sits before someone sees it. Fogsphere flags it against the cameras already covering the floor, the bund and the pipe rack.

Spill detection and surface contamination

Detects liquid on floors, hardstanding and containment surfaces, and logs the area affected.

Pipe, flange and hose leakage

Flags visible leakage at pipework, flanges and hose connections, and unusual discharge from a connection point.

Oil and water pooling

Detects oil and water pooling around machines, along with the steam and belt misalignment often associated with it.

Secondary-containment condition

Monitors bund and secondary-containment condition, including water accumulation that reduces available capacity.

Wet floors and trip hazards

Detects wet floors, obstructed walkways and the trip hazards that follow a spill.

Fluid handling and container storage

Flags unsafe container storage, drum condition and spill-like anomalies in chemical and fluid-handling areas.

Waste and drum storage compliance

Detects waste, drum and container storage that does not match the storage rule for the area.

Spillage in retail and forecourt areas

Detects spillage, leaks and standing water in aisles, forecourts and entrance areas.

Spills across active site areas

Detects spills, leaks, standing water, mud and slippery surfaces across active construction and yard areas.

Water leakage in plant areas

Flags wet floors, water leakage and flooding around turbine halls, pump rooms and plant areas.

Clean-up completion

Confirms that the clean-up actually happened, and times the gap between detection and removal.

Where it applies

Every Q3 paper that handles a liquid describes the same detection. The liquid changes — coolant, product, hydrocarbon, water — but the surface anomaly is read the same way.

How it works

Edge inference on the cameras you already have

Surface-anomaly detection runs on the edge device next to cameras already covering floors, bunds, pipe racks and hardstanding. Thermal views are used where a leak is easier to see by temperature than by colour.

Zones, thresholds and schedules you configure

Draw each floor area, bund and pipe run, set the size of anomaly worth flagging, and set the schedule and lighting conditions the rule applies under. Wet-process areas can be tuned separately from dry ones.

Every event carries its own evidence

Each detection is logged with a timestamp, the camera and zone it came from, and a short clip. The record can be reviewed, exported or attached to an investigation without trawling through hours of footage.

Feeds the systems already in place

Events surface in Fogsphere Manager and route outward to the environmental log, permit system, maintenance queue, control-room wallboard or messaging channel operators already watch.

Risk & control objective

The control objective is shortening the interval between a release and someone knowing about it. Fixed detectors cover the points they were installed at; a weep on a line between them is found on the next walk-round, or by the puddle.

The value compounds across three departments. Maintenance gets a leak located before it becomes a failure. Environmental gets a timestamped record of the release and the response. Housekeeping gets the wet floor flagged before it turns into a slip report.

The record also matters after the fact. Environmental reporting, containment inspections and process-safety investigations all ask when the release started and what was done — a question a photograph taken afterwards cannot answer.
