A liquid supply/drain conduit system that is equipped with an inner leakage
detector and a liquid process tank that is equipped with such liquid
supply/drain conduit system are disclosed. The liquid supply/drain conduit
system includes a first conduit for feeding a liquid into an inlet of a
first valve of the normal-closed type, a second conduit of T-shape that
has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, the horizontal portion of
the second conduit flows a liquid from an outlet of the first valve into a
reservoir tank. The second valve of the normal-open type has an inlet and
an outlet, the inlet is situated in relation to the first valve in such a
way that it receives through a vertical portion of the second conduit a
leaked flow of liquid by gravity when the normal-closed first valve failed
to close. A liquid detector is further provided for detecting a leaked
flow of liquid through the second valve. The leakage detector may
optionally include an alarm system to be activated when a leakage flow is
detected. The leakage detector may further send a signal to a process
controller for alerting a machine operator of the leakage status of the
liquid supply/drain conduit system.
