This report provides the results of a leak detection project in aboveground storage tanks which utilized acoustic methods to detect leaks. A series of field tests were conducted on a 114-ft. diameter tank that contained a heavy naphtha petroleum product. The analytical and experimental results of this project suggest that passive-acoustic leak detection methods can be used to detect small leaks in aboveground storage tanks. See more
