PFT Solutions

Our PFT (Perfluorocarbon Tracers) solutions enable fluid-filled cable operators to locate leaks without having to de-energizing cable circuits. This helps minimize costly network downtime and reduce the environmental impact of a leak. It can also extend the life of the fluid-filled cable system which results in lower ownership costs.
