System And Method For Detecting And Quantifying Changes In The Mass Content Of Liquid Storage Containers

US Patent:
7739901, Jun 22, 2010
Filed:
Nov 22, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/286304
Inventors:
Jimmy Wolford - Gladewater TX, US
Bernie Wolford - Spring TX, US
Clark Lockerd - Houston TX, US
Ricky Slaughter - Longview TX, US
Assignee:
Mass Technology Corporation - Kilgore TX
International Classification:
G01M 3/32
US Classification:
73 492
Abstract:
A storage tank leak detection system, including a quartz crystal type pressure transducer held at a constant temperature, a bubbler-based pressure sensor for reporting tank bottom pressure measurements to the transducer, a fluid surface measurement apparatus to report liquid surface pressure to the transducer, atmospheric pressure measuring apparatus, and a computing system for, based on data reported by all components, effecting data correction (corrected for atmospheric and container physical variations during data gathering) and regression techniques to yield data indicative of changes, if any, in mass content of a liquid storage container, such as a surface storage tank for petroleum and other chemicals.

System And Method For Detecting And Quantifying Changes In The Mass Content Of Liquid Storage Containers

US Patent:
2010025, Oct 7, 2010
Filed:
Jun 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/820053
Inventors:
Jimmy Wolford - Gladewater TX, US
Bernie Wolford - Spring TX, US
Clark Lockerd - Houston TX, US
Ricky Slaughter - Longview TX, US
Assignee:
Mass Technology Corporation - Kilgore TX
International Classification:
G01M 3/26
US Classification:
702 51
Abstract:

Method And Apparatus For Storage Tank Leak Detection

US Patent:
7712352, May 11, 2010
Filed:
Dec 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/320509
Inventors:
Jimmy Wolford - Gladewater TX, US
Bernie Wolford - Spring TX, US
Clark Lockerd - Houston TX, US
Ricky Slaughter - Longview TX, US
Assignee:
Mass Technology Corporation - Kilgore TX
International Classification:
G01M 3/32
US Classification:
73 492
Abstract:
An intrinsically safe, precise, and cost effective storage tank leak detection system. Embodiments include a highly precise quartz crystal type pressure transducer, secured in a vacuum and held at a constant temperature. Said transducer is used in combination with data correction and regression techniques to yield a storage tank leak detection system with an extremely low leak detection threshold. The storage tank leak detection system is thought to be most useful for detecting very small leaks in very large storage tanks.

Method And Apparatus For Leak Detection In Horizontal Cylindrical Storage Tanks

US Patent:
2013025, Sep 26, 2013
Filed:
May 28, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/903485
Inventors:
Bernie Wolford, JR. - Spring TX, US
Clark Lockerd - Houston TX, US
Ricky Slaughter - Longview TX, US
Assignee:
Mass Technology Corporation - Kilgore TX
International Classification:
G01M 3/00
US Classification:
702 51
Abstract:
A storage tank leak detection system for detecting and measuring very small leaks in large horizontal cylindrical storage tanks. Embodiments include two highly precise quartz crystal type pressure transducers held at a constant temperature. A bubbler to achieve access to the hydrostatic pressure at the tank bottom and just below the liquid surface. First transducer and bubbler are used to measure fluid mass while second transducer and bubbler are used to measure fluid density then used in combination with data correction and regression techniques to yield a storage tank leak detection system for use in horizontal cylindrically shaped tanks with an extremely low leak detection threshold.

US Patent:
2005000, Jan 13, 2005
Filed:
Jul 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/614748
Inventors:
Jimmy Wolford - Gladewater TX, US
Bernie Wolford - Houston TX, US
Clark Lockerd - Houston TX, US
Ricky Slaughter - Longview TX, US
International Classification:
G01M003/32
US Classification:
073049200, 702051000
Abstract:
An intrinsically safe, precise, and cost effective storage tank leak detection system. Embodiments include a highly precise quartz crystal type pressure transducer, secured in a vacuum and held at a constant temperature. Said transducer is used in combination with data correction and regression techniques to yield a storage tank leak detection system with an extremely low leak detection threshold. The storage tank leak detection system is thought to be most useful for detecting very small leaks in very large storage tanks, most likely above ground storage tanks.
