An optical gas imaging (OGI) camera detects and visualizes hydrocarbon gas emissions, such as methane, and common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found at oil and natural gas facilities.

The FLIR GFx320 carries certifications to global standards and is recognized as Intrinsically Safe, explosion-protected equipment by the International Electrotechnical Commission.

The OGI camera allows for quick detection of gas leaks.Workers can use the FLIR GFx320 to assess potential risks from afar instead of scanning for fugitive and non-fugitive gas emissions from outside hazardous areas. Once an area is deemed safe, workers can enter with the camera to continue scanning (see video).

The OGI camera is calibrated to measure temperature, allowing users to achieve optimal thermal contrast between the gas compound and the background scene. The camera is also verified to meet sensitivity standards defined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's OOOOa methane rule, and tags each recording with GPS data to meet additional regulatory requirements for reporting.
