Texplor has successfully installed its MSS® Leak Monitoring System at DOW’s newly built concrete liquid liner basin in Stade, Germany, delivering continuous real-time protection for one of the site’s critical containment structures. The installation, which incorporates eight sensors across a 7,000 m² basin, is designed to strengthen environmental safety, optimise maintenance, and extend the service life of the facility.
Advanced Monitoring for Maximum Environmental Protection
The MSS® Leakage Monitoring System provides uninterrupted surveillance of the basin’s integrity, ensuring early leak detection and preventing potential environmental hazards. By delivering real-time data, automated alerts, and immediate anomaly identification, the system significantly enhances DOW’s risk management approach and supports safer, more efficient operations.
This TÜV-Nord approved solution also allows for extended inspection intervals, enabling production to continue without interruption unless an anomaly is detected. The result is a reduction in downtime, lower operational costs, and improved regulatory compliance.
Improved Maintenance Efficiency and Operational Safety
Texplor’s modular monitoring technology reduces the need for manual inspections, replacing periodic checks with continuous digital verification. In addition to leak detection, the system can be expanded with sensors for corrosion, structural movement, and moisture monitoring, providing a scalable and future-proof solution.
Its explosion-proof design ensures reliability in demanding industrial environments, while Texplor’s cloud-based platform centralises data access and reporting across facilities, offering long-term insights and trend analysis.
Bastian Merten, MSc., CTO of Texplor Group, highlighted the benefit of continuous verification:
“With our TÜV-Nord approved monitoring technology, DOW no longer needs to perform inspections every five years. Our system continuously verifies the basin’s integrity, offering 24/7 real-time system checks to ensure containment integrity.”
Texplor’s deployment at the DOW site marks a significant step forward in industrial safety, environmental protection, and intelligent infrastructure monitoring.
