Optical gas imaging camera
24/09/2020
FLIR Systems has announced the FLIR GF77a Gas Find IR camera, its first uncooled fixed-mount autonomous leak detection camera designed specifically to visualise methane and other industrial gases.A new camera in FLIR Systems’ optical gas imaging (OGI) series, the connected GF77a provides upstream and midstream gas processors, producers and operators with the ability to monitor continuously for invisible and potentially dangerous methane leaks at natural gas power plants, renewable energy production facilities, industrial plants and other locations along a natural gas supply chain.
FLIR designed the GF77a to combine its industry-leading gas detection features with an uncooled fixed-mount camera platform at nearly half the price of its fixed-mount cooled platform. The camera is engineered to detect industrial gases such as methane, sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide to improve inspections and reduce the chance of false readings. Featuring a FLIR-patented High Sensitivity Mode (HSM), the technology enables better detection capabilities by accentuating movement to make gas plumes more visible to the user. The radiometrically calibrated GF77a also measures temperature, making it a solution for monitoring tank levels and inspecting components that may overheat.
The FLIR GF77a provides advanced connectivity protocols that allow for seamless integration into gas monitoring systems to meet the needs of the oil & gas industry, while also making it easy for third-party partners to integrate an analytics solution. This capability provides the industry with a solution that empowers companies to reduce emissions and ensure a safer work environment.The GF77a is compatible with GigE Vision and GenICam and includes Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing companies to control and stream radiometric thermal data remotely. It is also ONVIF compliant and includes environmental accessories to allow customers to tailor the camera to their daily needs.
