Imaging White Papers, Case Studies, Articles, and Application Notes

  1. FLIR Optical Gas Imaging Cameras Help To Spot Gas Leaks From The Air 6/7/2017

    The Al Hosn Shah Gas Processing Plant in Abu Dhabi is a natural gas processing plant that purifies gases by removing certain contaminants in a sweetening process. The gas pipelines and other infrastructures that process sour gases need to be continuously monitored for leaks as the contaminant gases are often dangerous for human exposure. This case study explores the innovative combination of UAV and FLIR optical gas imaging technologies as an efficient way of monitoring vast gas fields from the air.

  2. BP Chemicals Enhances Site Safety With FLIR Infrared 5/17/2017

    BP Chemicals produces acetic acid and is responsible for a significant portion of the world’s capacity. Every year, the company invests millions of pounds into improving production efficiency, minimizing environmental impact, and protecting its employees. 

  3. Remote Detection And Localization Of Gas Leaks With Autonomous Mobile Inspection Robots In Technical Facilities 5/17/2017

    The process of detecting gas leaks within industrial facilities can be susceptible to human error and interpretation, as well as dangerous and time-consuming. The RoboGasInstector is a type of robot system that was created with the intention of providing a safer, more efficient, and more reliable gas detection solution. This system delivers remote detection and localization of gas leaks, and was developed by a group of German companies and institutes. It uses a FLIR GF302 optical gas imaging camera.

  4. FLIR GF320 Used To Detect Gas Leakage In Biogas Facilities 5/17/2017

    As awareness of leaks within biogas facilities has grown, gas camera technology has also increased in use in order to easily show leaks. This application note explains how the FLIR GF320 was used to assess leakage in biogas facilities.

  5. Application Note: Thermal Management of UltraVolt High Voltage Power Supplies 2/1/2008
    Any electronic device's long-term reliability is directly related to how the overall system design allows it to dissipate any generated heat properly. Likewise, the long life and reliability of UltraVolt high-voltage power supplies (HVPSs) will be enhanced through proper thermal management

  8. 10 Tips For Getting The Most Out Of An Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera

    Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technologies enable the oil and gas industry to incorporate a safer and more efficient ‘Smart LDAR’ (Leak Detection and Repair) program where inspectors can detect fugitive emissions and leaks much faster. OGI saves money, not only through efficiency but also by improving the safety of company personnel and assets. This article offers ten tips that will help you get the most out of OGI cameras.

  9. Thermal Imaging Solutions For The Oil & Gas Industry

    As a complement to optical gas imaging (OGI), thermal cameras provide value through improved safety and operational efficiency in a variety of non-gas imaging applications, such as electrical/mechanical, security, tank inspection, and flare stack monitoring.

  10. See The Problem; Solve The Problem — Continuous Methane Monitoring Using Fixed, Uncooled LWIR Imaging

    Continuous methane gas monitoring is vital to responsible corporate citizenship and, increasingly, regulatory compliance for oil and gas operators.
