Introduction to Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Technology
- OGI Technology helps to find Gas / Vapor Leaks quickly, saving Time and Money.
- OGI displays Invisible Gas Leak as Cloud of Smoke in Video Data.
- OGI Operators can scan broad sections of Survey Areas and Equipment rapidly.
- OGI helps to detect Methane, Sulfur hexafluoride, and hundreds of other VOC industrial gases.
- OGI Program is great investment with significantly high RoI.
- OGI Camera is Easy to Use with minimal Training Requirement.
Who should use OGI?
- Maintenance Team to identify Leaking Components, Prioritize Repairs and check Repair Effectiveness.
- Environmental Team to Inspect and Monitor Leaking Components for Fugitive Emissions and Leaks Analysis.
- Safety Team to Inspect and Monitor Job Site for any possible Invisible Leaks leading to Hazards and Risks.
- Pipeline Patrol Team to Detect and identify Random Emission Leak sources.
- Liquid Fuel Storage Tank Operations Team to detect, identify and Monitor Emission Leaks.
- Fuel Logistics Team to identify Transportation Wastage Emission Leaks.
- Solid Fuel Storage and Handling Teams to identify OutGassing or Hotspots for timely preventive action.
Why use OGI Technology?
- Visual Evidence based Emission Leak Identification, Tracking and Reporting.
- Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis for prioritizing Component Emission Leak Repairs.
- Cost-effective Gas / Vapor Leak Detection.
- Can Operate to Detect Emission Leak from Safe distance.
- Easy collaborate and share Component Emission Leak Video Data across teams.
- Identify Emission Leaks when they are small and starting.
- Highly accurate Emission Leak pin point location identification.
- Can detect emission leak of inaccessible components.
- Consistent and Reliable results.
How OGI Technology works?
- Optical Gas Imaging is a highly specialized Infrared camera.
- It uses quantum detectors which are cooled to cryogenic temperatures around -200℃ by Stirling Cooler.
- Optical Gas Imaging uses spectral filter method to detect the gas compounds.
- The gas compounds Infrared absorption characteristics is wavelength dependent.
- The mounted filter allows very specific radiation wavelengths to pass through to cooled quantum detector.
- When gas cloud exists between the background object and camera, the gas absorbs radiation.
- The amount of radiation passing through the cloud to the cooled quantum detector will be reduced.
- This radiation contrast between gas and background is captured by detector and converted into video data.
