FLIR optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras can help you detect methane, sulfur hexafluoride, and hundreds of other industrial gases quickly, accurately, and safely – without shutting down systems. With FLIR OGI cameras, you can scan broad sections of equipment rapidly and survey areas that are hard to reach with traditional contact measurement tools. OGI cameras can also detect leaks from a safe distance, displaying these invisible gases as clouds of smoke.
Recent advancements in Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology offers companies in a variety of industries the opportunity to help safeguard employees while also bolstering a culture of safety. For example, OGI cameras from FLIR can be used in upstream and downstream oil and gas operations, along with power plants and other industrial facilities to help organizations meet their safety objectives.
OGI also provides data that’s not possible with traditional gas detection equipment, empowering communications between team members with facts to easily reference. In particular, OGI videos are worth more than a thousand words for personnel. Videos give users a tool to easily highlight unsafe practices within an organization.
Whether you need higher resolution — to see small leaks from a safe distance — or are looking for a more cost-effective way to find invisible methane leaks, SF6 leaks, Ammonia, CO and CO2 Leaks, the latest gas detection cameras from FLIR with our Level 3 expertise offer the sensitivity and features you need to find leaks quickly, and work safely.
Optical gas imaging (OGI) is a technology that uses specialized cameras to detect and visualize gas leaks or fugitive emissions. It offers several benefits over traditional methods of gas detection, such as sniffers or handheld detectors. Here are some key advantages of optical gas imaging
It’s important to note that while optical gas imaging is a valuable tool for detecting gas leaks, it should be used in conjunction with other safety measures and monitoring techniques for a comprehensive gas management program.
