Camera infrared leaks cut refinery inspections in half
Rob Raymer of FLIR Systems notes hundreds of thousands of connections in refineries risk leaks and scaffolding for access. Exxon Mobil’s Baytown Olefins Plant used the camera six months ago, cutting quarterly checks from eight inspectors over 175000 points to about two weeks. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also uses the cameras to spot VOC plumes around the Houston Ship Channel, finding 71 leaks from 5400 tanks. Regulatory and industry groups praise the win win of regulators and producers adopting infrared camera tech.
