Revealing and Quantifying Hydrocarbons, Methane and VOC Emissions Using Infrared Imagery

Telops is established as a world leader in thermal infrared imaging solutions for more than 20 years. The most prominent field of application for this technology is the remote and passive detection, identification and quantification of gaseous emissions.

Methane and VOC emissions contribute significantly to global warming and climate change as well as posing a major safety concern. Upstream/downstream oil and gas, transportation and landfills activities are important source of methane and VOC emissions.

In this first of a series of 3 webinars, come to learn about hyperspectral infrared imagery and discover how this technology enables the detection, identification and quantification of gaseous emissions.

More precisely, we will cover the following topics:

• Basic infrared spectroscopy and radiometry
• Thermal infrared phenomenology
• Algorithms leading to detection and identification of chemicals
• Hyperspectral data modeling for quantification of gaseous emissions

The Hyper-Cam and its aerial version, the Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini can render emissions visible and accurately quantify their concentration.
