In the petrochemical industry, the existence of hydrocarbon and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) leaks is a problem to be avoided at all costs. That is why detecting and repairing them is essential for the companies' bottom line and for their safety. Thanks to FLIR, this is no longer a major problem, as with the FLIR gas detection camera GFx320 gas detection camera and its improved optical display technology, detecting these leaks is much easier than with other methods.
Detection
This innovative new technology makes it possible to visualize more than 400 gaseous compounds, including methane, propane, other hydrocarbons and VOCs. In addition, the GFx320 gas detection camera is capable of detecting concentrations as low as 0.4 g/h, with sensitivity designed to meet the latest USEPA OOOOA standards. This gas detection camera makes it possible to find leaks immediately, 9 times faster than with traditional gas detectors.

Security
In addition, the digital camera and automatic GPS tagging ensure compliance with regulatory inspection requirements without the need for extra equipment. The FLIR GFx320 is AITEX certified and European compliant for use in hazardous locations worldwide. The safety provided by this camera means safe use in production, transmission and gas processing environments, allowing you to work quickly and confidently, without the need to apply for hot work permits in some areas, depending on company protocols.
Visualization
Like all FLIR methane detection cameras, the GFx320 offers superior gas visualization, thanks to its temperature calibration. This means that, using FLIR's innovative technology, this camera can assess the thermal contrast during leak inspections, ensuring the optimal temperature difference between the gaseous compound and the background scene.
In addition, the GFx320 offers the ability to detect leaks with FLIR's exclusive high-sensitivity mode, which accentuates the movement of gas clouds with patented video processing tactics, and ergonomic features, such as the flip-up eyepiece, articulating LCD display, and rotating handle, so you can comfortably inspect all day long.
The power, sensitivity and safety provided by this camera to the operator and the company performing the study, are the characteristics that mark this optical visualization gas detection camera, FLIR GFx320, the gas detection solution expected by the petrochemical industry.
