In order to locate precisely the source of leaks, we utilise a combination of infrared cameras which are capable of “seeing” gas, ultrasonic probes, to “hear” leaks and a system of electronic “sniffing”.
In summary, our approach for locating gas leaks include:
- Infrared imaging: (OGI or Optical Gas Imaging): the leak is visualised in real time; its origin is identified clearly. However, this method does not detect all gases.
- Acoustic listening (Ultrasound): The sound generated by the leak (the Venturi effect) is captured and amplified- thus becoming audible to the operator.
- The hybrid, IRUSCAM method: Developed and patented by IRCAMEX, this method combines infrared imaging and ultrasound for more reliable results especially when used on industrial sites with high levels of background noise and heat.
Using the data collected, we then provide you with an inspection report where each leak is precisely outlined, illustrated with images and located on maps/ plans.
Our solutions
RESEARCH INTO LEAKS OF SF6
Since 2011, we have been conducting research on solvent and VOC leaks in industrial chemistry, processes and energy equipments.
More than 4000 pieces of equipment were inspected : PSEM stations, conventional stations, High-Voltage cells, production sites…
We have made this area our primary expertise !!
INVESTIGATING LEAKS OF VOCS AND OTHER GASES
Since 2011, we have been conducting research on solvent and VOC leaks in industrial chemistry, processes and energy equipments.
Many installations already inspected, annual inspections since 2013: drying lines, baking ovens, gas supply networks, methanization sites (industrial, agricultural), distilleries, test benches, printing lines, etc.
We have made this domain our primary source of cross-feedback !!
LEAK DETECTION USING ULTRASOUND
Since 2014, we carry out leakage research on industrial equipments with compressed air networks (from a few millibars to several bars). For this we use a Ultra Sound probe…que nous pouvons être amené à that we may have to link with our infrared means to increase the reliability of the diagnosis, this is our patented method IRUSCAM..
Our applications are for industrial grids and power generation facilities in
nuclear power plants…
