In addition to curbing leaks into the environment, Enserve could also determine internal leakages in piping i.e. passing valves. Partial restrictions can also be located. This is particularly useful for establishing the location and cause of pipeline flow problems that are creating adverse operating conditions in process plants.

The USD methodology can also be adapted to determine mal-operation in steam traps and other process systems, and together with the airborn sensor invisible steam leaks to atmosphere can be detected in some instances resulting in noise barriers being reduced in operational areas.
