Infrared camera finds costly VOC leaks

FLIR’s GasFindIR infrared camera is a tool to aid in eliminating VOC leaks, which are a common problem in petrochemical facilities. Costly leaks of benzene, propane and methane lead to global warming, equipment damage, regulatory fines and can even pose a deadly risk to workers. The GasFindIR infrared camera incorporates the latest infrared imaging technology by using a special infrared imager employing a sensitive detector and cold filter to observe active leaks. This precise method replaces toxic vapour analyzers (TVAs) or ‘sniffers’ that are labour intensive and can only give an indication of a VOC leak (at very close range) without providing an image that shows the leak.
