Many chemical accidents are caused by gas leakage, and gas leakage can also damage the atmosphere. For the leakage of liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied ethylene, etc., it is colorless and odorless and cannot be detected by the naked eye.

At the same time, since it is difficult to detect the leaking point of the seal, there is a danger that the inspector will come into close contact with the toxic gas. At this time, if you want to clarify the location and scale of the leak, a gas leak detection infrared thermal imaging camera is a very good choice!

The gas leak detection infrared thermal imaging camera can be used for fixed-point large-area detection. The thermal imaging camera detects the gas leakage through the temperature change of the outside when the gas is discharged.

When the leaking gas appears, the location and scale of the leak can be judged through the observation of the thermal imager, and further processing can be carried out. It has become an important tool for gas leak detection with the advantages of long-distance non-contact, 24-hour monitoring, and intuitive visualization. The followings are the applications of thermal imaging cameras in gas leak detection.

Oil refining

A typical oil refinery includes two types of processes: separation and conversion. The separation process cracks crude oil into useful components, either directly sold as a fuel or used as a feedstock for the next process. The transformation process modifies the molecular structure to provide products with suitable characteristics that are suitable for mixing with finished fuels.

Thermal imaging cameras can respond well to "light components" and intermediates produced by fuel processing plants. The general rule of thumb is that thermal imaging cameras can monitor volatile gases during crude oil fractionation.

Petrochemical

In the hydrocarbon production industry, the raw materials are derived from the separation process or conversion process of petroleum refining, and infrared thermal imaging cameras for gas leak detection can be used to detect gas leaks in the petrochemical production process.

Chemical industry

In the production of non-hydrocarbon or inorganic chemicals from basic raw materials, the chemical industry is usually mass production and continuous process production, and the product purity is very high. The medium-wave infrared thermal imaging camera for gas leak detection has a good response-ability to some chemicals in the industry.

Natural gas

Gas power plants usually use natural gas as fuel. The medium wave infrared thermal imaging camera for gas leak detection is very suitable for leak detection in this industry.

Natural gas is mainly composed of methane and ethane. In the process of natural gas production, storage, transportation, and distribution, medium-wave infrared thermal imaging cameras are suitable for leak detection in all links from production to distribution networks to end consumers.

Infrared thermal imaging technology has a wide range of potential uses in gas detection. It has time and cost advantages over traditional methods such as "sniffer", and can identify leaks within a certain distance without having to deal with all suspicious leaks.
