Chemical & Fuel Leak Detection

​Advanced Monitoring for Hazardous Liquids in High-Risk Environments


At BTS Leak Detection, we specialise in the design, installation, and maintenance of chemical and fuel leak detection systems for critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, and commercial plant rooms.

Our solutions are engineered to detect hazardous liquid leaks at the earliest possible stage—minimising environmental damage, protecting personnel, and ensuring full compliance with UK safety regulations.


Whether you're managing a backup generator room, a bunded fuel tank, or a chemical dosing plant, we deliver intelligent, scalable systems that integrate seamlessly with your operations.

​

Why Chemical & Fuel Leak Detection Is Critical

Leaks involving fuels, oils, solvents, or corrosive chemicals pose serious risks:

  • Fire and explosion hazards in confined or poorly ventilated areas

  • Environmental contamination of soil, groundwater, and drainage systems

  • Operational downtime due to equipment failure or emergency shutdowns

  • Reputational and financial loss from regulatory breaches or insurance claims

  • Legal non-compliance with environmental and fire safety legislation

 

BTS Leak Detection helps you mitigate these risks through early detection, automated alerts, and system integration that enables rapid response and containment.​

What Substances Can We Detect?

Our systems are designed to monitor a wide range of hazardous liquids, including:​        

Substance Types

​

Fuels

​

Oils

​

Chemicals

​

Coolants

​

Waste Liquids

        

​​

​

Diesel, petrol, kerosene, aviation fuel

​

Hydraulic oil, lubricating oil, transformer oil

​

Acids, alkalis, solvents, glycol, ammonia

​

Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol blends

​

Effluent, wastewater, chemical run-off

        

​How Our Systems Work

We deploy industry-leading technology from Aquilar, including:

  • TraceTek Sensor Cables: Detect the presence of liquid along their entire length and pinpoint the leak location to within 1 metre

  • AquiTron AT-MZA & AT-G-DETECTOR Panels: Provide multi-zone monitoring, visual/audible alarms, and BMS integration

  • Point Sensors: Ideal for bunded tanks, drip trays, and sumps

  • Automatic Shut-Off Valves: Optional integration to isolate supply lines upon leak detection

  • Remote Alerting: SMS, email, or BMS-triggered alerts for 24/7 monitoring

 

These systems are modular, scalable, and suitable for both new builds and retrofit applications.

​

Typical Applications

Our chemical and fuel leak detection systems are trusted across a wide range of sectors:

  • Industrial facilities: Chemical processing, manufacturing, and refineries

  • Backup generator rooms: Fuel supply lines, day tanks, and bunds

  • Laboratories and cleanrooms: Solvent storage and chemical dosing systems

  • Commercial buildings: Plant rooms, risers, and HVAC systems with refrigerant blends

  • Fuel depots and tank farms: Above-ground and underground storage tanks

  • Fire suppression systems: Leak detection for foam concentrate and chemical agents

​

Compliance & Regulatory Standards

Our systems are designed to meet or exceed the following UK and EU standards:

  • Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001

  • COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Regulations

  • Environmental Protection Act 1990

  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

  • BS EN 60079 (for explosive atmospheres)

  • Fire safety and insurance requirements

  • Manufacturer specifications (aquilar, TraceTek)

 

​

​

We provide full documentation, commissioning certificates, and system schematics to support audits, insurance claims, and regulatory inspections.
