Automated Methane Monitoring Solution with OGI by FLIR delivers 24:7 coverage of methane production, transmission, and storage infrastructure.
FLIR, which is part of Teledyne Technologies, has unveiled its fixed-mounted methane monitoring solution, ADGiLE. The system, which features optical gas imaging (OGI) and comprehensive edge detection analytics, is designed with the oil and gas industry in mind.
ADGiLE aims to help users meet environmental stewardship and efficiency goals. Additionally, the solution should also help users address the client’s concerns relating to reducing methane gas leaks within oil and gas production, transmission, and storage infrastructure.
Key features of the ADGiLE solution:
- Utilises FLIR’s uncooled GF77a OGI Technology.
- Pan-tilt gas imaging camera.
- Edge computing device.
- Enhanced connectivity.
- Includes FLIR United VMS software.
The ADGiLE solution pairs the GF77a with platform analytics which aims to detect emissions through automatic early detection, helping to quickly establish the location of the leak. Additionally, false readings can be prevented, saving companies time and resources by eliminating the need to conduct unnecessary manual inspections.
Critical situational awareness of any leak is then provided, which FLIR claims is not possible with other methane detection technologies. All this data is then displayed via the FLIR United VMS software in the control room, where custom alerts, areas of interest, and pre-set imaging pathways can be established fully automatically.
“The industry knows FLIR as the world leader in handheld OGI detection, and now they can access lower cost technology via a completely automated, fixed solution with ADGiLE, featuring everything they need out of the box to quickly pinpoint and then fix large methane leaks,” said Craig O’Neill, Business Development Director at FLIR.
He continued, “ADGiLE is purpose-built for mid and upstream methane operations to deliver game-changing results to achieve methane mitigation demands along with internal emission reduction goals. This makes ADGiLE a market-leading solution for well site operators, compressor stations and storage facilities that must invest in methane detection and monitoring technologies.”
