Issues with leaking SF6 assets? Problem solved with EMT Site Services

EMT Site Services have recently completed work in the UK and overseas, with many more projects scheduled in for spring and summer. We still have dates available to carry out SF6 leak surveys and repairs, so please contact the team if you have a concern regarding leaking assets.

 

 

Project Bulletin

 

A Norwegian utility contracted EMT Site Services to run a series of leak surveys to detect and confirm the presence of SF6 leakage within the work area. Using EMT best practice leak survey methodology and EMT advanced leak detection technology, our team identified and located several SF6 leaks within their installed assets including GIB, HV bushings and interconnecting supply pipework.

 

The team are now scheduled to undertake 3 leak repairs with composite sealant filler and bonding technique, which will require SF6 gas handling and removal of the gas during repair. In addition to EMT site services, this customer has also expressed an interest in EMT hand held and fixed point detection systems and our Zerowaste analysis technologies.

 

Our experts were also commissioned to undertake a 132kv bushing repair for a UK utility; which included analysis of existing SF6 gas prior to removal, de-gas of SF6 to auxiliary storage via EMT gas cart, composite repair installation, and re-gas of SF6.

 

The system was fully tested and signed off as leak-free on completion of works.

Smartfill CTU Installation for Middle Eastern Utility

EMT Site Services have recently completed on site installation of 4x Smartfill Continuous Topping Up Systems, for a leading Electricity Transmission and Distribution Network Operator, in the Middle East.

The Smartfill CTU delivers live, automated, on-demand top-up in the event of an SF6 leak; and is designed to manage leak operations where regular, controlled top-ups are required. Using this zero-waste approach to replenish the gas results in reduced SF6 usage, inventory and costs.

Smartfill technology ensures assets remain operational and at peak performance, securing continuity for EMT customers. The team reports the installation was a success, as was the training which followed, and that discussions are underway for further installations on other sites.

PowerTest 2023 delivers for EMT

 

The event was a huge success and delivered on so many levels. Proceedings kicked off with a presentation at the New Product Forum on EMT’s new multi-application SF6 & Eco gas solutions range, spearheaded by the world’s first 4in1 SF6 & Eco Gas Analyser, the Zerowaste Eco+.

 

This followed the next day by live product demos of our latest technologies for insulating gas analysis and handling, where the theme at the EMT booth was very much on future proofing insulating gas management equipment. There was a hive of activity with notable interest in the new Leak Hunter Dual SF6 & Eco Gas Portable Leak Detector, which generated a number of enquiries, given its appeal for addressing a major problem facing utility companies; one simple, portable instrument can perform two jobs efficiently and effectively, rapidly detecting leaks on GIS, switchgear and gas insulated compartments containing SF6 or Eco based insulating gases.

 

The EMT Moisture Pro also proved popular for its portability and smart features, with a number of utilities interested in adding the unit to their equipment inventory for fast, reliable and accurate moisture determination of their dry air, SF6 and alternative gas assets.

 

Another new concept creating a buzz at the show was the SmartMix Automated Gas Mixing System, which generated much discussion around the handling, mixing and control of gas, leading to several requests for custom projects by the EMT Engineering division.
