Detecting and Visualising Hydrocarbon Gas Leaks with MWIR Cameras
By Sierra-Olympic Technologies
Midwave-infrared (MWIR) cameras are utilised by the oil and gas industry to detect and visualise emissions of hydrocarbon gases such as methane, propane and butane.
These special infrared cameras are optimised to capture images below the red end of the visible colour spectrum at the peak absorption wavelengths of the gases, which are often odourless and invisible to the naked eye.
