A leak developed at a midpoint riser, resulting in a release rate of approximately 300 L/hour. Due to the localized nature of the failure and the operating configuration, early detection was critical to limit spill volume and enable a timely response. The operator required a leak detection system capable of identifying small but consequential leaks within minutes, not hours.
