Synodon Inc. ("Synodon") (TSX VENTURE:SYD) announces that its realSens(TM)
technology successfully demonstrated its ability to detect hydrocarbon vapour
plumes released from crude oil samples provided by one of its customers. These
results build on the previously announced pentane, condensate and gasoline
detection tests performed and announced over the last year and represent the
final phase in demonstrating the ability of realSens(TM) at detecting leaks from
virtually all types of liquid hydrocarbons. Full reports for these tests are
available upon request and will also be presented at upcoming industry technical
conferences.


For the demonstration, a Western Canadian light sweet synthetic crude (OSA)
sample was used which contains one of the lowest percentages (about 5%) of
volatiles when compared to other World crudes. The typical analysis, available
on www.crudemonitor.ca, lists butanes (C4) at 1.33%, pentanes (C5) at 2.11% and
hexanes (C6, a smaller contributor to vapours) at 2.33%. 


Vapour plumes were released from a custom evaporator containing 20 liters of OSA
at 2 different flow rates while realSens(TM) passed over the leak area. The
vapour flow rates were chosen to be below and above the previously derived
detection threshold (0.035 litres per minute). The subsequent data analysis
showed that the plumes were detected with 95% reliability for vapour rates
between 0.04 to 0.06 litres per minute. 


In a practical open pool evaporation setting, this vapour rate would correspond
to a crude oil leak of between 5 to 10 barrels per day, or less than 0.005% of
the flow in a medium sized 200,000 bpd pipeline. This is a significantly smaller
(over 100 times) release rate than the typical 1% that can be achieved by
current pipeline monitoring technologies. The detectable leak size will be even
smaller for products with a higher concentration of light hydrocarbons.


"This demonstration validates the ability of the realSens(TM) technology at
detecting very small leaks from low volatility crude oil products while
airborne" stated Adrian Banica, CEO of Synodon Inc. "We have now proven the
effectiveness of this technology at detecting a wide variety of liquid
hydrocarbon products from pure pentane to gasoline, condensates and finally
crude oil. Since most of the products transported through the World's liquid
pipelines are crudes, this enables Synodon to now market its services to this
entire infrastructure."


Synodon Inc. (www.synodon.com) is a technology company which has developed an
advanced airborne remote gas sensing system called realSens(TM), based on
technologies developed under the Canadian Space Program and by Synodon
scientists. The company currently provides advanced airborne pipeline integrity
management services to the oil and gas sector through a suite of services
including natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon leak detection, pipeline threat
assessments, and waterway crossings analysis among others.
