FG-ODC+ Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables

TTK's FG-ODC+ is a digital sensing cable for detection and location of liquid hydrocarbons and liquid insoluble in water and their vapors, along the entire length of 9 ft. It allows multiple leak detection and location thanks to independent digital addressing, enabled by an embedded microchip in each FG-ODC+ sensing cable. The sensor element is optimized for a very fast response with light to middle distillates. It is sensitive to heavy oils such as conventional crude oils, dilbit/synbit, as well as to hydrocarbon vapors. It can be installed in a humid environment as it is insensitive to water and inorganic contamination.

• Very high Sensitivity
• Very Fast Response with Light and Middle Distillates
• Sensitive to Heavy Oils and Hydrocarbon Vapors
• Leak Location on Section Length
• Pre-connected Cable
• Suitable for Explosive Area Service
• Insensitive to Water and Inorganic Pollutants

FG-ODC+ Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Features

• Standard length (9 ft) sensor sections or long line sections allowing optimized system architecture
• Microcontroller embedded in each FG-ODC+ sensing cable allowing the independent digital transmission to the alarm unit
• Standard length sensing cable provided with the built-in plug-socket connector
• Structure of the sensing cable comprising a silicon sensing wire, a continuity wire, a communication wire (proprietary bus) and the power supply wires. Protective external PE braid built on the cable
• Intrinsically safe – can be used in classified areas: Ex ia IIB T4 Ga (IECEx “Zone 0”)

FG-ODC+ Hydrocarbon Sensing Cables Benefits

• Reliable detection:
  • Sensitive to heavy oils and vapors
  • Insensitive to water, inorganic pollutants and external loads (pressure)
• Very high sensitivity: examples of detection time: Diesel at 3-5 minutes (*), Gasoline: less than 1 minute (*)
• Detects and locates hydrocarbon leaks on the section length
• The same unit FG-NET can be connected to FG-ODC+ sense cables and mixed with water or acids/bases sense cables at the same time
• Easy to install and remove: standard FG-ODC+ cables pre-connected with male / female connectors

Note (*): depending on liquid composition and leak conditions
