Regulatory
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
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
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 […]

Proposed EPA Appendix K: Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera Calibration and Maintenance
Optical Gas Imaging Camera Calibration and Maintenance Over the next few months, we will discuss aspects of the EPA’s proposed Appendix K and the advantages of Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) to Oil and Gas producers. Compared to gas detectors or “sniffers,” OGI cameras aim to significantly reduce methane and VOC emissions by detecting and visualizing […]
Pivoting your Carbon-Reduction Goals into a Reality using Optical Gas Imaging
Over the last few years, many oil & gas producers in the industry are making commitments to emissions reduction. Making this commitment is an essential initial step in the right direction. The producers now have to establish a plan to meet these emissions reduction targets. Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras, based on thermal imaging, are […]
