Industrial thermal IP camera optimized to detect hydrocarbon leaks
Industrial Video and Control (IVC) announced today the development of a new hydrocarbon leak detection camera (model FV-3532-01). IVC”s latest product for the petrochemical industry is engineered to provide high quality thermal images and is designed to detect pipeline and tank leakages of a variety of hydrocarbon products
including propane, gasoline, and diesel. The FV-3532-01 was developed in collaboration with a major US oil company for use at their pipeline compressor stations. The camera can be programmed to monitor up to four detection zones. When it detects a leak, a contact closure results that can be used to send an alarm notification to IVC”s camera management software and/or the customer”s control system. In addition to providing the initial notification of a leak, the FV-3532-01 can provide visual confirmation of alarms from other leak detection devices. The thermal imager is housed in a rugged enclosure making the camera suitable for use in a wide range of weather conditions.
“We are very excited about the way this new technology has performed” stated Norman Fast, IVC’s President and CEO. “The initial field trials and camera test results at Texas A&M”s Crisman Institute have exceeded expectations and our initial oil pipeline customer is already deploying this unit at its compressor stations. This is an ideal addition to the products we are supplying to petrochemical producers and distributors. ”
Designed for use on oil and gas pipeline networks and at distribution terminals, the FV-3532- 01 can be utilized within a video security system or tightly integrated and operated through a user”s SCADA system. IVC”s Relay Server or Longwatch camera management products can be used to integrate live and stored video from this and other security and process monitoring cameras with either the customers” security or SCADA systems.
