  • Application Spotlight: Fired Furnace Inspections

    Tubes on a firebox can overheat and rupture, starting an uncontrolled fire and other collateral damage. Refractory damage and improper burner alignment can also cause overheating and break down, resulting in downtime and a personnel safety issue—especially near inspection ports and ladders. That's why it's crucial to routinely inspect and assess the condition of the external steel firebox, tubes, and supports using a furnace inspection camera with thermal imaging capabilities. This kind of cameras allows inspectors to look through gas flames and determine whether localized internal coking is occurring, or if it’s external scaling.

  • Application Spotlight: Natural Gas Separators

    In the fracking process, gas is separated from oil and water and sent to a meter while the oil and water is collected and hauled away by trucks. Through this process, sand can build up in the heating element, causing damage to the separator. If this build-up is not noticed and promptly removed, it may result in a costly and catastrophic failure of the unit. Since separators are typically inspected by hand or generally cleaned out on a routine basis without evaluation, a problem could arise without detection until it's too late.

  • Using Optical Gas Imaging to Comply with OOOOa Regulations: A Case Study

    Natural gas compressor stations have to comply with new EPA regulations on inspection, known as Quad OA. Optical gas imaging provides an efficient, cost-effective means to meet the requirements.

  • Confirmatory ID Using GC/MS

    Here's how on-site GC/MS can help provide critical information within minutes when a scenario suggests a need for confirmatory identification.

  • Application Spotlight: Bearing, Motor, and Drive Inspection

    With all the mechanical equipment needed to drive production, a lot can go wrong during automotive manufacturing. Catching those problems before they cause equipment failures can help ensure factories maintain uptime and avoid costly repairs. Regular, routine surveys using thermal imaging cameras as well as Test & Measurement equipment designed for machine inspection and repair will help maintenance teams easily spot the warning signs before breakdown occurs.

  • Regulatory Compliance in the Oil and Gas Industry

    In many parts of the world, government regulations on the natural gas industry necessitate regular inspections for leaks. Traditional technologies for leak inspections, such as toxic vapor analyzers—or “sniffers”—can be labor intensive for inspections of large facilities. Optical gas imaging cameras can help natural gas industry professionals inspect locations quickly, identify leak locations precisely, and help companies maintain regulatory compliance.

  • Application Spotlight: Tank Level Inspection

    Tank level gauging is a necessity for various applications in the oil and gas industry. It can help maintenance teams avoid tank overflows, calculate tank flow rates, and more. Thermal imaging allows oil and gas companies to gauge tank levels without direct contact; it can also help them distinguish small changes in temperature between liquids or solids of varying densities with specific heat characteristics.

  • Early Fire Detection Solutions for the Wood Products Industry

    With the ever-present danger of spontaneous fire, wood product processors are always looking for ways to not only protect their facilities—but to detect fires before they happen. The Viper Early Fire Detection system uses Teledyne FLIR thermal imaging cameras to detect hot spots in wood and wood byproducts before internal temperature reach a critical point, so facility crews can take necessary preventive measures.
