Updating thermal imaging saves energy costs
The Climate Change Levy is focussing the attention of many companies on improving plant efficiency to reduce energy costs. Thermal imaging cameras help identify hotspots and so save energy.
Technical presentations and expert panels will provide a full overview on new regulatory trends, technology updates, tips-and-tricks for end-users and more.
Through detailed presentations, expert panel discussions, and hands-on demonstrations, PetroTherm will explore how optical imaging for gas detection increases production efficiency and support worker safety for on-shore and off-shore petroleum exploration, production facilities, gas-oil separation plants, gas plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, and pipeline and pumping stations.
Representatives from Federal and State-level environmental regulatory agencies and commercial organisations will share how they have used optical imaging gas detection in their work to determine fugitive emission rates for 22 gas processing facilities, detect pollution, identify chemical releases following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, find an odor source in a refinery, and much more.
