  • Thermal Imaging Is ‘the Next Evolution’ Of Inspection: Reducing Explosion Risk At Wastewater Treatment Plants

    A water treatment centre might seem like an unlikely place for a fire to break out, but the waste they handle can produce large amounts of methane gas. The flammable methane gas is then used to generate power and feed electricity into the electricity grid.

  • Understanding Optical Gas Imaging Quantification

    A relatively young technology, quantitative optical gas imaging (qOGI), is quickly proving itself to be a viable alternative to toxic vapor analyzers and Bacharach Hi Flow® Samplers as a tool for oil and natural gas industry operators to quantify gas leaks. This article describes qOGI, how it works, its applications, and the equipment necessary for its use. The article also details how qOGI compares to alternative leak quantification technologies.

  • Top 10 Questions: Gas Leak Quantification with OGI Cameras

    This article examines common questions and concerns surrounding quantitative optical gas imaging (qOGI). More specifically, it answers 10 questions related to the use of FLIR’s QL320 platform, which pairs new technology – in the form of a ruggedized plug and play tablet -- with FLIR’s existing GF320, GFx320, and GF620 OGI cameras to quantify hydrocarbon gas leaks in units of mass leak rate, volumetric leak rate, or concentration over pathlength. This article’s subject matter builds on the previous piece in this series, which introduces qOGI systems, discussing their functionality and advantages over competing technologies.

  • Application Spotlight: Early Fire Detection for Rapid Heat Generation

    Fires that are not caught early or extinguished quickly can cause serious financial, environmental, and commercial distress for a company, as well as distress to the community. The potential of such a heavy burden means many companies prioritize preventing or mitigating potential fires at all costs. Most current fire systems are designed to contain a fire once it starts—which isn’t always the most effective solution. A system that allows companies to avoid fires or stop them before they spark can save lives, save money, and prevent downtime.

  • 7 Things to Look for in an Acoustic Imaging System

    Compressed air leaks, vacuum system leaks, electrical partial discharge—these are all expensive system issues that consume power, causing companies to deal with unforeseen costs and potential production/uptime issues. Ultrasound imaging with an acoustic camera is an effective way to detect these equipment issues as part of a complete asset management plan. This easy-to-use technology typically allows professionals to complete their inspections 10 times faster than with traditional methods.

  • The Evolution of Intersections—From Inductive Loops to Artificial Intelligence

    How we monitor and address traffic fluctuations has changed over the years. From basic signal timing to advanced vehicle detection, improvements in transportation technology pushed intersections to become safer and more efficient. As the performance of these sensors improves, so does our understanding of complex urban environments.

  • Insights from the Field: Preventing Asset Failure, Production Line Shutdowns, and Fires Through Thermal Automation Cameras

    Thermal cameras are not only used to safeguard property and people but also to protect mission-critical equipment. At manufacturing plants, maintenance teams want to aggregate data to continually evaluate an asset’s health and know if it is about to fail. Production managers are keen to catch process anomalies that result in faulty products or packaging before these products leave the production line. Safety managers need to detect excessive heat buildup on fuel, hazardous material, and electrical components before combustion occurs and a fire breaks out. By deploying thermal cameras for condition monitoring, process control, and fire prevention applications, plant managers ensure maximum uptime and avoid catastrophic events.
