FLIR Optical Gas Imaging Camera is Key to Safe Inspections at SK Energy Ulsan CLX
Gas leaks at refined oil and/or petrochemical facilities can lead to severe crisis, causing huge financial losses and even leading to casualties. Thorough prevention and inspection, along with immediate remedial measures upon leak detection, are essential. Korea’s no. 1 oil refining company, SK Energy, adopted the use of FLIR optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras at its core facility, the Ulsan Complex, in June 2012. SK Energy uses a FLIR OGI camera for prevention and post-measures for equipment such as diverse pressure vessels, storage tanks, and pipelines. The system has been applied primarily in the No. 2 fluid continuous catalyst (FCC) for testing of device functions and effectiveness, and the scope of use of the device has been expanded to the entire manufacturing sites at Ulsan Complex. Currently, the FLIR GF320 OGI camera is positioned as the most essential device for safe inspection at the site.

Solutions for MPOs (Metropolitan Planning Organizations)
Metropolitan Planning Organizations, or MPOs, are faced with unique challenges for addressing transportation issues across multiple jurisdictions. Often these agencies influence policy and set guidelines for multiple municipalities across a metropolitan area and can help provide a centralized mechanism for sharing information across these agencies. In many places, an MPO is the focus for establishing policies for managing congestion, data collection, analysis, signal coordination and public transit.

"The Next Inspector is the Customer"
“FLIR has been providing thermal imaging cameras for thermal inspection to the BMW plant in Dingolfing since 1997,” explains Robert Halbritter of FLIR Systems’ sales partner and integrator, TOPA GMbH. For most of the time, BMW has primarily used the cameras for electro-thermography of switch cabinets and rooms.

IDAX & Acyclica
Bellevue approached IDAX about collecting traffic counts to understand shifts in traffic before and after road closures. This will allow a better understanding of what kind of impact longer term road closures will have on travel times and streets in the surrounding areas. After looking at the problem that Bellevue was attempting to solve, IDAX suggested instead that Acyclica WiFi sensors be used to run the traffic study.

Application Spotlight: Electrical Inspections in the Oil and Gas Industry
Electrical distribution boards can be difficult to inspect for impending failures. Connection and component break downs can result in unplanned downtime, costly repairs, production loss, and an increased risk of fire. Thermal imaging technology can provide key information that the eyes alone cannot detect. This gives them the opportunity to solve electrical issues as part of planned maintenance before it causes a serious and costly problem.

Application Spotlight: Flare Stack Monitoring
Flare systems are often a last line of defense in preventing dangerous hydrocarbon pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Various technologies have been used to monitor flares, but they are often ineffective at minimizing smoke from stake combustion — which is an important indicator of burn efficiency. Thermal imaging technology can help inspectors recognize the difference between the heat signature of a flare stack flame and the surrounding background.

Application Spotlight: Liquid Leak Detection
Above-ground fluid spills, sprays, and pooling are among the concerns with transporting oil through pipelines. Leaks often start small, making them challenging to detect until it's too late. Delays in leak repairs can cost millions of dollars in financial losses and wreak havoc on the environment. A fixed thermal imaging camera set to monitor the pipeline can help companies catch leaks early.
