Sure, there are regulations about fugitive emissions from tanks, valves, pipelines, but do you really want that hard-earned product (read: dollars) floating away in the atmosphere anyway? Methane is invisible: Can't see it don't know it's leaking, don't know you’re losing money.

Having Thermal Cam’s trained operators use optical gas (OG) cameras, to find leaks can do three things

Save you money on lost product,

Save you money in EPA and other regulatory fines and

Save down time and increase safety on the job site.

In 2013 the EPA estimates that more than 636 million metric tons of methane gas escaped into the atmosphere in the United States, representing tens of millions of dollars. Thermal Cam lets you “see” those dollars floating off— and, better yet, lets you see where they’re leaking, so you can take action to recover those potential dollars.

Producers, pipeline companies, service, valve, tank companies all benefit from Thermal Cam’s ability to “see” escaping gas.

You might spend $100,000 or more on a camera that you’ll use less than fulltime—plus training some personnel to use it. Or you could rely on Thermal Cam’s trained people to do the inspection and give you a full report. You save operating dollars and meet regulatory compliance.

Leaking gas can mean accidents, terrible accidents. Regular PM programs detect problems early, help keep your safety record clean.

The company uses state-of-the-art equipment such as the Flir 420, 640 and GF320, along with the Opgal EyeCGas cameras and UE ultrasound meters.

In addition to leaking gas, Thermal Cam’s infrared cameras can detect overheating electrical panels, motor bearings and other heat sources that can indicate approaching problems, allowing your company to perform preventive maintenance before there is a major breakdown.

With prices expected to remain low for at least the next few months, why not start the year right, by scheduling Thermal Cam for a regular preventive maintenance scans? You may be surprised at how much money they can help

you save.
