  • How Apliter Termografía and FLIR Are Enhancing Volcanic Surveillance in La Palma with Cutting-Edge Gas Detection Technology

    Volcanic activity in La Palma has created a complex situation for environmental surveillance and safety. Although the eruptive phase of the Cumbre Vieja volcano finished at the end of 2021, the emission of gases, such as CO₂, remains a challenge. Since it is a colorless and odorless gas, it can build up in areas that are difficult to access. This creates risks for both the population and the research teams working on the island. The accumulation of CO₂ in low or poorly ventilated areas displaces oxygen from the air. This can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, disorientation and even loss of consciousness. In volcanic environments, where gas is concentrated in depressions in the ground or enclosed spaces, the risk is even higher. In La Palma, the lack of real-time sensors made it difficult to detect these dangerous areas, which increased the risk of accidental exposure. To improve the surveillance and monitoring of these emissions, IGN needed a solution, such as an OGI thermal imaging camera, that would provide accurate data immediately and enable rapid action.

  • Early Fire Detection for BESS

    Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential for storing renewable energy and ensuring grid stability. However, their implementation comes with inherent risks, particularly related to lithium-ion battery fires. Where flame detectors fall short, thermal imaging cameras can significantly improve protection and prevent fires before they ever reach combustion.

  • Understanding the EU’s Methane Mitigation Regulations: A Guide to Staying Compliant

    The EU has introduced its first-ever methane emissions regulations for the energy sector, requiring both detection and quantification of emissions. The finalised regulations (EU 2019/942) came into effect on 13 June 2024, and operators must act now to stay compliant. 

  • CA Rule 1178: Adding Technology to Fuel Tank Inspections to Reduce Emissions and Improve Air Quality

    In 2024, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which includes all of Orange County and the urban portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties in the state of California, passed comprehensive updates to California Rule 1178 (CA 1178) to further reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from organic liquid storage tanks at petroleum facilities within the district. The amended rule establishes more stringent leak detection, repair, and control requirements for storage tanks in gas refineries, bulk storage facilities, and oil production sites.
