In refineries and other petrochemical facilities, equipment failure can lead to lost profits and even potential injury. What you can't see can definitely hurt you. Refineries require state of the art technology to achieve results that are safe for the environment and safe for business. In fact FLIR Systems GF-Series infrared cameras have been developed together with oil industries and the American Petroleum Institute (API) to meet their requirements for detecting and minimizing gas leaks.

The use of infrared cameras has already become a standard practice in many oil and gas companies. It's a proactive way to identify sources of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions and repair leaking components before it's too late. By using the most advanced VOC detection, you will improve safety and productivity and minimize emissions.

The FLIR GF300/320 infrared camera is a preventative maintenance solution to spot leaks in piping, flanges and connections in petrochemical operations. The infrared camera can rapidly scan large areas and pinpoint leaks in real time. It is ideal for monitoring plants that are difficult to reach with contact measurement tools. Literally thousands of components can be scanned per shift without the need to interrupt the process. It reduces repair downtime and provides verification of the process. Above all it is exceptionally safe, allowing potentially dangerous leaks to be monitored from several meters away. FLIR GF300/320 will significantly improve your work safety, environmental and regulatory compliance, not to mention helping to improve the bottom line by finding leaks that essentially decrease profits. The new GF300/320 now embeds GPS data into the image allowing workers to pinpoint the location of the leak or hot spot.

The GF-343 is an optical gas imaging camera that lets you see CO2 leaks quickly, easily, and from a safe distance. Whether CO2 is a byproduct of a production process, a trace gas used to detect leaks from power generators, or as part of an Enhanced Oil Recovery program, fast and accurate detection of CO2 leaks is key to keeping your operation running safely, efficiently, and profitably. Reliable, non-contact CO2 detection lets plants prevent unplanned outages by allowing them to inspect equipment while it is still online in the course of normal operations. It also helps keep operations safe while moving towards carbon-neutral capture and storage operations.
