    Efficient and reliable operation is the main requirement of the modern power plant, hence it´s significant that the boiler tube leakage source is localized precisely. The four-element acoustic array was exploited in the furnace, a set of hyperbolic equations were established and the sensors distributed for capture the leakage signal were given. The stable and sharp peak can be obtained by an approximation of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, which was verified via the experiment on localization of leakage. The time differences of arrival (TDOA) error level was 0.1us, the array failed to fix position as the remarkable coordinate error, while the error level was 0.01us, the coordinates error was linearized and reduced to the permitted range (less than 1m).
