US Patent 10317306 Systems and methods for detecting and controlling leaks

Systems and methods for detecting and controlling leaks via analysis of substance flow data. A leak management system including a processor that receives substance flow data from a plurality of substance flow sensors, analyzes the substance flow data to identify at least one discrepancy within said substance flow data, and transmits at least one alert and/or takes preventative or corrective action upon identification of said at least one discrepancy. In one aspect, identifying said at least one discrepancy includes identifying a predetermined difference between the value read at the primary one of the plurality of substance flow sensors and the sum of all values read at all of the secondary ones of the plurality of substance flow sensors, wherein the predetermined difference accounts for a margin of error. Flow sensors may be recharged by the flow of the substance through the sensor.
