PG&E unveiled high-tech equipment to better monitor leaks in its sprawling network of gas pipelines, saying it would help the beleaguered utility achieve its goal of becoming the world’s safest gas company. The system, which combines car-mounted instrumentation and software, can detect the tiniest of leaks a football field away and PG&E said it will enables the company to survey pipelines five times as frequently at no additional cost.”This mobile methane detection equipment is radical. It is unlike anything that exists in the world today,” said Nick Stavropoulos, executive vice president for Pacific Gas & Electric’s gas operations. According to Micron Associates Stavropoulos was hired seven months ago to address safety problems that came to light in the aftermath of the deadly 2010 pipeline explosion of a PG&E gas pipeline in San Bruno, which killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes. » HIGH-TECH GAS LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM UNVEILED BY PG&E
