Noise Equivalent Concentration Length: The New Standard for Optical Gas Imaging
Optical gas imaging (OGI) is increasingly being used in the oil and gas industry to detect leaks. Operators of gas distribution networks, processing plants, pipeline facilities, terminals, and offshore platforms all want to find and repair leaks to prevent explosions, minimize loss of their product, and comply with environmental and safety regulations.

Work Zone Enforcement: Faster & Safer
Acyclica is helping to make work-zones safer by providing real-time congestion management. By being able to monitor speeds in construction areas in real-time, contractors can respond to congestion events in real-time to increase the safety of their workers. They can warn workers as well as drivers ahead of time with variable message signs in real-time.

Application Spotlight: Electrical On-Site Substation
Maintenance personnel must routinely monitor Load Tap Changers (LTCs) for signs of trouble, including leaks, hot spots, and low oil levels. These systems have built-in gauges that aren’t always correct, and they can be difficult to check or even reach with traditional tools. Thermal imaging can help inspectors assess the health of LTCs and monitor them in real-time to ensure transformers are running at peak performance.

Application Spotlight: Adhesive and Sealant Inspection
Glue bead placement accuracy is critical to achieve the desired structural integrity and sealing performance. Manufacturers can monitor this process with visible-light cameras, but the enormous variety of adhesive materials and lighting conditions present challenges. A thermal imager or an IR temperature sensor can help users easily determine whether the glue bead has been applied properly, has gaps, and is within the required temperature limits.
