FLIR OGI Cameras Paired with UAVs to Detect Gas Leaks From the Air
Natural gas processing plants, such as the Al Hosn Shah Plant in Abu Dhabi, purify raw natural gas by removing certain contaminants. These contaminant gases are often very dangerous for human exposure and therefore, gas pipelines and other infrastructure need to be carefully monitored for leaks.

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.

FLIR optical gas imaging camera helps improve environment and safety at Borealis Stenungsund
Many petrochemical plants handle invisible gaseous hydrocarbons. Most of these gases pose some sort of safety aspects. They may be toxic, or can cause health issues in case of long term exposure. Others are highly flammable, explosive even, and most of them will have a negative impact on the environment if they enter the atmosphere in large quantities. That is why leak detection is of vital importance in these petrochemical plants.

FLIR GF306 helps improve environmental performance at Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution
SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) gas is used in energy networks as an insulator in substations. Although SF6 is an excellent insulator, used all over the world, it is also a potent greenhouse gas. That’s why the careful management of SF6 assets is a key priority for Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution. The company regularly inspects equipment containing SF6 to prevent leaks, and act quickly when a leak is identified. SSEPD have found a tool that can help with its SF6 maintenance program: thermal imaging cameras from FLIR.

Optical gas imaging for the chemical industry
The FLIR Gas Detection cameras are infrared cameras which are able to visualize gas by utilizing the physics of fugitive gas leaks. The camera produces a full picture of the scanned area and leaks appear as smoke on the camera’s viewfinder or LCD, allowing the user to see fugitive gas emissions.
