Optical gas imaging camera detects and visualizes carbon dioxide (CO2) leaks quickly, easily, and from a safe distance. Reliable, non-contact CO2 detection using the GF343 camera allows plants to 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.
Whether the CO2 emission 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 an operation running safely, efficiently, and profitably.
Using a cooled indium antimonide (InSb) detector, the camera provides extraordinary sensitivity, 320×240 resolution and optimized detection of CO2 gas leaks in real time.
Optical imaging using the camera offers a number of benefits compared to traditional “sniffers” because they scan a broader area much more rapidly and in areas that are difficult to reach with contact measurement tools. Infrared displays a leak as a plume of vapour in the infrared image. Once a leak is found from a safe distance, a TVA can be used to quantify the concentration. FLIR
