The most advanced independent test facility in the world
KWA operates the largest and most advanced facility for conducting third-party evaluations of leak detection equipment, located in Grain Valley, Missouri. Every evaluation runs under published protocol, with controlled leak simulation and full instrumentation.
One 20,000-gallon and two 13,500-gallon underground storage tanks, configured for ATG, tightness testing, and continuous in-tank leak detection evaluations. Tanks can be manifolded together or individually isolated to a manufacturer's requirements.
More than 400 feet of underground pipelines — fiberglass and flexible — for evaluating line leak detectors and pipeline leak detection systems at regulatory thresholds.
Product dispensed at variable rates and throughputs, with or without leaks present, to simulate real-world gas-station operations. Heating and cooling capability reproduces product deliveries.
A fully instrumented site with documented procedures produces evaluation reports regulators can rely on — certifications used by manufacturers in all 50 states and worldwide.
