Appendix Cam: The Future of Emission Detection

Appendix Cam

As regulatory pressure intensifies around fugitive emissions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has introduced a proposed framework known as Appendix K, designed to standardize Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) practices across oil and gas operations. This move, aimed at improving leak detection accuracy and accountability, introduces technical specifications and validation criteria that will shape how […]

Understanding the Subpart W Proposed Rule and Its Impact on the Industry 

subpart w proposed rule

The Subpart W Proposed Rule represents a significant step forward in the regulatory oversight of methane and greenhouse gas emissions within the oil and gas industry. Introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this rule is designed to refine and enhance the methodologies used for emissions measurement, reporting, and mitigation. With growing concerns over climate […]

Optical Gas Imaging: A Visual Solution for Leak Detection

Optical Gas Imaging Solution for Leak Detection

Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is a powerful technique that utilizes a specially designed infrared cameras to visually detect and monitor gas leaks. By capturing and analysing infrared radiation emitted by gases, OGI cameras can identify leaks that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-invasive method uses the special optical properties of various gases to […]

OGI Cameras and Technology

OGI CAMERA TECHNOLOGY

OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) technology is a thermal camera. Also known as infrared camera, which can detect and visualize gas. In the electro magnetic spectrum, infrared is divided into 3 regions. Short-wave, mid-wave and long- wave. There are 2 types of OGI technologies. Cooled ( ogi sensor) and uncooled (ogi sensor).  The difference between the […]

Regulatory

industry

There is pressure to process natural gas and oil quickly, safely, and cost effectively while complying with increased international regulations. Regulators, like in the United States EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) require a much more comprehensive approach to safety and regulatory practices. Newly enforced regulations by governments around the world to reduce emission levels quickly require […]

Oil & Gas

Chemical and Petrochem

In a petrochemical facility, the process of transforming crude oil and natural gas into chemicals is very complex . Refineries, where the process of transforming crude oil into products such as gasoline for example are also a lengthy and complex. These sites usually have thousands of potential leaks paths. Using an Optical Gas Imaging Cameras, […]

Natural Gas

Natural Gas

Methane is the main focus of the “Global Methane Pledge”. Where the United States, Canada and European countries all agree to reduce emissions by 30% from 2020 – 2030. Mostly by committing to improve the technology used in their regulations. Optical Gas Imaging is the most efficient technology to be used in the natural gas […]
