What is OGI?

Optical gas imaging (OGI) detects gases such as methane, propane, sulfur hexafluoride, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hundreds of other industrial gases/vapors quickly, accurately, and safely - without shutting down systems. With this technology, large and complex piping or equipment installations, process furnaces, storage tanks, volatile vapor handling systems and areas that are hard to reach can be surveyed for leaks or to determine exhaust system capture in a fraction of the time it would take using traditional contact measurement tools. OGI cameras can detect leaks and migration from a safe distance and produce images and video to document repair, maintenance, ventilation system effectiveness and improve record keeping. Even small leaks of otherwise invisible gases and vapors appear as clouds of smoke and the origin is easily identified.
