Conventional gas detectors include line- and point detectors. A rather large number of these are required to get a satisfactory coverage of an area or volume at gas handling installation. It is often required that a number of these detectors indicate gas before a gas alarm is issued. Even in this case, it is hard for an operator to know where a leak is located or what is going on.
In contrast to this, a gas visualization system such as GasOptics Gas Vision System (GVS) is able to pinpoint the origin of a leak and show real time video coverage of what is going on.
A demonstration/pilot installation project on a customer site is thought to facilitate the adoption of gas visualization on a specific site, be a reference installation for GVS for other potential customers and to give valuable user data back for further development.
