OPTICAL GAS IMAGING

SEE HYDROCARBON GAS LEAKS THAT MAY BE INVISIBLE TO THE EYE

FIND FUGITIVE EMISSIONS WHILE EQUIPMENT IS OPERATING

Accurate Infrared uses optical gas imaging to help facilities locate fugitive hydrocarbon emissions without making direct contact with operating equipment. Our FLIR GF320 allows a trained technician to screen components methodically and visualize certain gas emissions in real time so facility personnel can prioritize investigation and repair.

We coordinate each survey with operations, maintenance, engineering and environmental personnel. Significant observations are communicated promptly, followed by clear documentation that helps your team locate the component and plan the appropriate next step.

SCREEN

Survey operating equipment efficiently for visible gas plumes within the camera’s detection capabilities.

DOCUMENT

Record the affected component, location and supporting imagery for follow-up by your team.

VERIFY

Return after repairs when requested to help confirm whether the observed emission is still present.

FIELD EXAMPLES

Representative imagery from real field assignments. Client, vessel and location details are intentionally withheld.

EQUIPMENT SCREENING

Operating equipment can be screened without interrupting the process or touching the component.

LEAK DOCUMENTATION

Gas-imaging frames help isolate an emission source and support repair planning and verification.

TYPICAL SURVEY SCOPE

• Valves, flanges and threaded connections
• Pumps, compressors and seals
• Process piping and fittings
• Relief and vent components
• Loading, transfer and storage areas
• Other accessible components within the agreed scope

EXPERIENCE IN DEMANDING ENVIRONMENTS

Accurate Infrared’s optical gas imaging experience includes five years of methodical field surveys on Alaska’s North Slope. We bring that same deliberate approach to refineries, processing facilities, terminals, industrial plants and other operations where fugitive emissions deserve focused attention.

Optical gas imaging can support leak-detection, maintenance and environmental programs, but camera performance depends on the gas, background, distance, weather and operating conditions. Before fieldwork, we coordinate the target equipment, site requirements, operating conditions and documentation format with your team.
