Understanding OOOOc and How It Builds on the OOOOb Summary for Methane Compliance
The EPA continues to accelerate its methane reduction strategy by tightening performance standards across the petroleum and natural gas sector. Two major components of this regulatory shift are OOOOb and OOOOc, each addressing different stages of industry activity. While operators are becoming familiar with the OOOOb summary that outlines requirements for new, modified, and reconstructed […]
Sierra Optical: Advanced Imaging Performance for Next Generation OGI Systems
Optical gas imaging continues to evolve as industries demand higher sensitivity, greater reliability, and stronger field performance for methane and VOC detection. Among the technologies contributing to these advancements is Sierra Optical, a class of high precision optical components engineered for superior infrared transmission, stability, and spectral accuracy. As OGI systems grow more sophisticated, the […]
Understanding the Subpart W Proposed Rule and the Role of Optical Gas Detectors in Modern Emissions Monitoring
The regulatory landscape for methane and industrial greenhouse gas emissions is shifting rapidly. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is strengthening requirements under the Subpart W proposed rule, part of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. The new expectations focus on more accurate quantification, verified measurement methods, and continuous or near continuous detection of methane emissions […]
How Gas Cameras Improve Safety in Industrial Zones
Using gas cameras and leak detection cameras to protect workers, prevent accidents, and strengthen regulatory compliance Introduction: Safety at the Frontline of Industrial Operations High-risk industrial zones – including refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, power generation facilities, chemical processing units, and manufacturing complexes – operate under continuous pressure. Highly flammable gases, toxic compounds, high temperatures, […]
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection in Industrial Plants
Introduction: Seeing Leaks Before They Become Failures Industrial facilities rely heavily on pressurized systems – steam lines, cooling networks, hydraulic circuits, chemical transfer units, boilers, turbines, heat exchangers, and pipelines. In these environments, even a small leak can become a massive operational, safety, or environmental issue. Traditional monitoring methods often struggle to detect leaks early, […]
OGI in Harsh Environments: How OGI Cameras Perform
introduction: Reliability When It Matters Most Industrial facilities rarely operate in controlled, comfortable conditions. Oil fields experience scorching desert heat. Offshore platforms endure high winds, salt spray, and brutal humidity. Chemical plants face corrosive vapors, particulate dust, and extreme temperature swings. In these environments, detection equipment must perform flawlessly – because the risks of failure […]
OGI in Industrial Innovation: How Camera OGI Redefines Visual Inspection and Safety
Introduction: From Leak Detection to Industrial Transformation Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) has long been associated with gas leak detection, especially in the oil and gas sector. But over the past decade, OGI technology has quietly evolved into something much broader — a cornerstone of industrial innovation. Modern Camera OGI systems are no longer limited to […]
EPA OOOOc and the Rise of OGI Systems in Methane Emission Control
Introduction: OOOOc — The Next Step in Methane Regulation As global attention on methane intensifies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to roll out new standards aimed at reducing emissions from the oil and gas sector. Following the introduction of OOOOb, the agency is now advancing OOOOc, a complementary rule targeting existing oil and […]
Subpart W Proposed Rule: What It Means for Methane Reporting and Compliance
Introduction: The Evolving Landscape of Methane Regulation Methane has long been a focal point in global climate policy — and in 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to sharpen its focus through updates to its Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP). One of the most significant developments is the Subpart W Proposed Rule, which […]
Ventus Leak Detector: Precision Leak Detection with Advanced Camera Technology
Introduction: The New Era of Smart Leak Detection In today’s industrial landscape, leak detection has evolved from a simple maintenance routine to a critical component of safety, compliance, and sustainability. With increasing pressure from regulators, investors, and the public, companies must now monitor and manage leaks in real time, with absolute precision. This is where […]
