“GasFindIR finds even small fugitive gas emissions quickly and easily.”
It’s Smart.
For the first time, GasFindIR allows you to find VOC (volatile organic compound) gas leaks quickly and easily. Capable of rapidly scanning large areas and miles of piping, this highly specialized infrared camera delivers real-time thermal images of gas leaks. These gas leaks appear as “black smoke” onscreen when, in fact, they are fugitive gas emissions.
It’s Innovative.
A truly revolutionary technology, GasFindIR inverts the physics of fugitive VOC gas leaks. What was once invisible is now clear and present- and recordable to any off-the-shelf video recorder for easy archiving, documenting or emailing.
It’s Productive.
GasFindIR is also a real-time infrared camera, scanning at 30 Hz or 30 images per second. This greatly increases productivity by allowing workers to scan miles of piping from a moving vehicle or pan wide-angle for broad views of piping systems without concern for image distortion or smear.
Fugitive Emissions
- Losses (leaks) of HC product (methane, propane, VOC’s)
Unintentional Fugitives
- Normal wear and tear / damage
- Improper or incomplete assembly of components
- Inadequate material specification
- Manufacturing defects
Intentional Fugitives
- Venting (tanks, controllers, comp. seals, stacks, etc.)
Purpose
- Increase production & reduce costs by recovering lost gas
- APP Fugitive Emission Management BMP
- Increase operations Health & Safety
- Reduce GHG emissions / Carbon Credits
- Part of CPC E/E, Gas Star Program, and BIC Initiative
Detection Technology
- GasfindIR – optical emission technology
- Infrared video camera with hydrocarbon/VOC filter
- Provides visible images of a HC gas emissions in real-time
Benefits:
- Rapid, accurate and safe detection
- Scan hard-to-reach components from a distance
- Assessments performed without interruption of operations
- Inspection times are minimal, which can keep costs down
- With exact leak source info, repairs are less time consuming and less expensive
- Cost-effectively scan hundreds of components simultaneously
