Pipeline Leak Testing

When natural gas or liquid pipeline leaks occur, hydrocarbon gases evolve from the leak. In the case of natural gas pipelines, the primary gas that evolves is methane; ethane is released to a lesser extent. Crude oil pipeline leaks, even in cold climates, release hydrocarbons, including ethane, into the environment.

Many natural gas pipeline leak detection systems just detect methane, which does not truly validate the presence of a leak. Because there are many sources of methane—landfills, animal feedlots, rotting vegetation, for example—detecting both methane and ethane (which is not naturally occurring in the atmosphere) provides a better indication of the presence of a leak.

Switch Off Your Garbage Disposal and Save Water

Save water and money by switching off that garbage disposal. It’s a great way to reduce water waste! Every time we switch on the garbage disposal, we waste water. Even with a 2.5 gallon per minute low flow kitchen aerator, running the garbage disposal for 2 minutes equals 5 gallons of water down the drain. That’s more water than most of us drink in a day. If you run it for 2 minutes every day in a 30 day month, that’s 75 gallons of water each month for which you’re paying. It’s literally money down the drain.

Instead of water and money going down the drain, toss those meat and dairy scraps into the garbage and turn those coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit scraps into a valuable soil amendment by starting a compost pile. A compost pile is an easy way to save water, money, and improve your garden and landscape. With holiday cooking here, it’s a perfect time to start a compost pile. Collect your carrot peels, onion skins, and used tea bags in a recycled coffee can with a tight fitting lid or purchase an eye pleasing counter top or under-counter compost container. There are plenty of styles from which to choose. Of course when your container is full, you’ll want to add it to your compost pile where your kitchen food scraps will breakdown into a nutrient rich humus - a wonderful fertilizer and mulch for your garden and landscape plants.

A compost pile requires the right amount of carbon - for example shredded newspaper, nitrogen - like kitchen scraps, soil, moisture, and air to maintain the breakdown process. There maybe enough moisture in the kitchen scraps you’ve collected to keep the breakdown process going. If not, how about using your gray water instead of using water from the hose.
