1. Make Leak Detection Safer At Pipelines, Tanks, And Industrial Plants 9/9/2020

   Safety should be the main concern for any operation that deals with potentially hazardous gases. Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technologies offer the imaging solution for these companies while promoting a culture of safety. FLIR OGI cameras 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.

2. Optical Gas Imaging Camera For Continuous Leak Monitoring: FLIR GF77a Datasheet 8/31/2020

   The FLIR GF77a is an uncooled thermal camera that is spectrally filtered for methane and other industrial gases. It is small, lightweight, and packed with FLIR-patented features, such as High Sensitivity Mode (HSM), for improved gas visualization. It is temperature-calibrated for added use in thermography, fire detection, and worker safety, and can be installed across multiple units in a facility to maximize leak detection with fewer in-person inspections.

3. Optical Gas Imaging Camera For Continuous Leak Monitoring: FLIR GF77a 8/31/2020

   The FLIR GF77a is an uncooled thermal camera that is spectrally filtered for methane and other industrial gases. The camera can help maintain valuable capital equipment, avoid product loss, meet emissions reduction metrics, and ensure safer work practices by providing oil and gas facilities, gas transportation terminals, and power generation plants with continuous, autonomous leak detection.

4. NPL Testing Demonstrates The FLIR GF320 Meets EPA OOOOa Standards 8/18/2020

   In this application note, NPL reported that through independent testing, the FLIR GF320 demonstrated the capability of detecting gas emissions according to the standards set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) NSPS 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOOa sensitivity standard for optical gas imaging equipment.

5. Upstream and Midstream Security: Perimeter Protection Using Thermal Detection With Analytics 8/18/2020

   There are many oil and gas companies that have to manage miles of gas lines and an extensive portfolio of real estate within their operations. As a solution, FLIR offers a number of wide-area coverage thermal and optical imagers with analytics that are able to cover wide areas to reduce the risk of site theft and vandalism.

6. How Does IoT Help In Keeping Tons Of Oil Secured? 8/13/2020

   Oil plays a crucial role in fueling our automobiles, and thus our lives mainly depend on it. Since oil is used for various purposes, it brings a huge responsibility for the industrial owners to produce a fine quality. Oil is a beneficial resource with its high energy density and is often exposed to thefts. Accordingly, its safety becomes a concerning matter for the industrialists.

7. Fired Furnace Inspections With Thermal Imaging 8/12/2020

   Furnace tubes have the possibility of overheating and rupturing, resulting in equipment downtime, lost production, and other collateral damage. The ability to monitor tubes for signs of overheating due to over-firing rates of flame impingement from improper burner alignment is critical to the reliability of the furnace. In order to determine if overheating is taking place within fired furnace tubes, inspectors must be able to distinguish between internal tube “coking” and external tube “scaling.” Thermal imaging is able to evaluate the condition of the furnace directly for any signs of overheating or damage.

8. How Optical Gas Imaging Tools Promote A Culture Of Safety 8/12/2020

   Safety should be a core value within any operation dealing with potentially hazardous gases. Organizations that work with gas that can cause injury should seek to integrate effective and efficient technologies that ensure safe operational practices. Recent advancements in optical gas imaging (OGI) technology has enabled such companies to improve and reinforce their cultures of safety.

9. Improving Power Generation Safety With Advanced Leak Detection Technology 8/11/2020

   Maintenance of hydrogen-cooled generators is critical for the safe and efficient operation of a power plant. Many traditional methods for hydrogen leak detection cannot reliably pinpoint the exact source of leaks. Optical gas imaging cameras that specifically filter for CO₂ can greatly improve leak detection, enabling efficient hydrogen leak defection while using CO₂ gas as a tracer.

10. Using Automated Infrared Cameras To Monitor Flare Stacks 8/11/2020

    Flare systems are used as a last line of defense against dangerous hydrocarbon pollutants entering the atmosphere. Various technologies have been used to monitor the flares, but they can be ineffective at minimizing smoke from the stake combustion, which is an important indicator of the burn efficiency. Thermal imaging can “see” through smoke, enabling inspectors to make quick spot check or continually monitor.
