Optical Gas Imaging Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is a potentially valuable new technique of gas leak detection based on narrow-band passive infrared sensing technology used to image a leaking gas plume (fugitive emission). Click on this link for an ATMECO Briefing Note which gives more details on the technology of Optical Gas Imaging and its practical use in hydrocarbon leak detection. The technology can image a plume of volatile hydrocarbons from a distance and, while it cannot detect down to the leak levels that flame ionization detectors (FID) can sense to, it does allow leak surveys of lines, vessels and equipment that are not covered in standard leak detection programs. This imaging technology is likely to become a standard feature of facility integrity management systems as part of, and complementing, existing leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs.
