  • FLIR thermal imaging cameras reveal what’s behind the flames

    FLIR thermal imaging cameras can detect most furnace and boiler equipment problems during operation, and at an early stage so failures can be prevented.

  • Avoid an outage with new hydrogen leak detection technology

    Maintenance of hydrogen-cooled generators is critical for the safe and efficient operation of a power plant. Finding and repairing hydrogen leaks from the cooling system is one aspect that can require exhaustive searches on components, valves, fittings, or other locations.

  • Remote detection and localization of gas leaks with autonomous mobile inspection robots in technical facilities

    Detection of gas leaks in industrial facilities cannot only be dangerous and time-consuming; it is also susceptible to human error and interpretation. In order to provide a safer, more efficient and more reliable detection solution, RoboGasInspector was conceived.

  • BP Chemicals enhances site safety with FLIR infrared

    Bought in 2005, the FLIR GasFindIR camera has been central to Dave Fashimpaur’s troubleshooting work and it now accompanies him all over the world. He added, “There’s no set-up involved. When you switch the camera on it has to cool down to the required temperature but after that you get your images immediately. There’s no post processing involved and I just play the video footage back via Windows Media Player.” The camera allows him to inspect wide areas efficiently and to pinpoint the source of the leak.

  • Bayernoil refinery uses FLIR Gas detection cameras to detect leaks

    The Bayernoil refinery complex is located in southern Germany and has three refinery, production and storage sites in Ingolstadt, Neustadt and Vohburg (between Munich, Nuremberg and Regensburg). It is owned by oil corporations OMV, Agip, BP and Ruhr Oel. Over 800 employees process annually 12m tonnes of crude oil that is refined into oil products.

  • Tracing gas leaks: maintenance and safety problems highlighted

    Using the FLIR GasFindIR in this sector allows us to achieve enormous savings in terms of time and personnel.

  • Clackamas Fire Depends on TICs

    Like many fire departments In the USA, Clackamas Fire has depended on thermal imaging cameras (TICs) for well over a dozen years as a critical tool in helping protect lives and save property.

  • Thermal Imaging Helps Kalmthout Fire Department During Wildlife Fires and Other Interventions

    Kalmthout firefighters are equipped with thermal imaging cameras. Apart from their normal firefighting duties they also need to protect the natural reserve “Kalmthout Heat” against fire.

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Mühldorf County Fire Departments Deliver First-Class Firefighting Services

    Thermal imaging cameras (TIC) for firefighters used to be bulky, expensive and generally unreachable for small voluntary fire departments. Fortunately, with the latest developments in thermal imaging technology TICs have become extremely attractive and affordable, even for small fire brigades.

  • Environmental protection with a FLIR optical gas imaging camera

    Some industrial, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants emit gases that can harm the environment and impede the health of company employees and inhabitants of the surrounding area. Environmental protection agencies have the responsibility to make sure that these emissions fall within governmental and international policy guidelines.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Preserve Italy’s Cultural Heritage

    Historical architecture is an important part of Italy's cultural heritage, so good maintenance of these buildings is crucial for their preservation. No-one would want the Cathedral of Gravina in Puglia to deteriorate into a ruin, for instance. That is why the Altamura, Italy, based survey company IR HotSpot investigates historical buildings with a FLIR thermal imaging camera, looking for water damage and other building defects. With the information gained from thermographic surveys using a FLIR thermal imaging camera the preservation of these highlights of Italian culture is ensured.

  • Structural survey post-earthquake aided by IR Thermography applied to cultural heritage

    The earthquake happened in Abruzzo (Italy) April the 6th, 2009 killed about 300 people. Furthermore, many works of art have been almost destroyed or are in a great danger of collapse. Monuments carrying centuries of history, Important buildings, like Churches, palaces or castles, in the city of Aquila or smaller villages nearby needs to be quickly restored, but first of all checked. Unfortunately, not only human beings, but even precious frescoes must be evaluated in order to be saved. The emergency needs fast, safe, reliable tools.
