About the Client
Prosaris Smart Leak Management Solution
Prosaris is a leading provider of ultrasonic leak detection solutions, offering advanced detectors and a comprehensive leak management platform. Their mission is to combat energy waste caused by compressed air leaks, providing cost-effective and efficient solutions to optimize systems, reduce energy waste, and improve operational efficiency.
Understanding the Problem
The Challenge
Founder Colin Sewell has over 25 years of practical experience in the oil and gas industry. As someone who provided support for Process Safety and Loss Prevention, he had to regularly detect and locate small leaks in all aspects of offshore gas production, as fluid leaks can be very costly in material loss and process inefficiency.
However, it was difficult for him to find products that could help him manage this aspect of his work. In searching for the right technology, he found products that could help him detect that there were leaks in a particular area of operation. However, they couldn’t accuratley identify and locate the origin of the smallest leaks.

Step 03: Prototype Usability Improvement
Improved usability design, which included testing of various accessories, user experience, and conceptual development.
Step 04: Prototype Ideation
Ideation sketches to allow for integration of leak detection tool, handle and control tablet
Step 05: Product Usability Improvement
Custom design, multi-material, handle to provide improved convenience
Step 06: Final Product
Use of Prosaris in action
Solving the Challenge
The Solution
Enginuity helped Prosaris through the agile product development process. The Design Control Process begins with Discovery phase to Conceptual Design, then Design Validation and analysis, to Design for Manufacture (DFM) and finally to building the physical products. Learn more about our engineering discovery process.
“Enginuity provided really good value when we needed it, and they helped us with the very early concept evaluation phase of the project and [with] a couple of different projects that we did, one was helping us with just understanding the process of quantification.
The second one was helping us flesh out the actual arrangement that we would use. They’ve been very supportive with the legwork – basically helping us get our design down on paper, getting it into a format that supported both our earlier phases of prototyping and manufacturing ones,” – Colin Sewell
