Robust continuous monitoring and advanced analytics for methane production, transmission and storage infrastructure


FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has unveiled ADGiLE, a fi xed-mounted methane monitoring solution. Featuring optical gas imaging (OGI) with comprehensive edge detection analytics, ADGiLE is the oil and gas industry’s solution to meeting environmental stewardship and effi ciency goals. The system, featuring a pan-tilt gas imaging camera, edge computing device, connectivity, and FLIR United VMS software within a ruggedised package, can help companies address the ever- evolving requirements for reducing methane gas leaks within oil and gas production, transmission, and storage infrastructure.


Designed for wide-scale site video monitoring and continuous leak detection applied to storage tanks, compressors, separators and other equipment in the oil and gas industry, ADGiLE offers an industry-fi rst, end-to-end fi xed methane detection solution that leverages FLIR’s uncooled GF77a OGI technology and is consequential to industry demands concerning methane mitigation.


FLIR ADGiLE pairs the GF77a with platform analytics processed at the edge to detect emissions through automatic early detection, quickly pinpointing the leak source. It provides critical situational awareness of the emission event that is not possible with other methane detection technologies, such as satellite and aerial-based detection methods. Data is displayed via the FLIR United VMS software back at the control room, which can be confi gured with custom alerts, areas of interest, and pre-set imaging pathways for a truly automated experience.


The solution primarily focuses on midstream and high-concentration methane upstream applications. It works to detect and prevent high-volume emission events, compared to FLIR’s existing cooled handheld OGI technology, leveraging FLIR’s unmatched edge detection analytics built upon decades of detection data and experience to deliver consistent, accurate results. The system increases both site effi ciency and safety, as it operates equally well during the day and in total darkness at safe distances, pending atmospheric and site conditions.


“The industry knows FLIR as the world leader in handheld OGI detection, and now they can access lower cost technology via a completely automated, fi xed solution with ADGiLE, featuring everything they need out of the box to quickly pinpoint and then fi x large methane leaks,” said Craig O’Neill, Business Development Director, FLIR. “ADGiLE is purpose-built for mid- and upstream methane operations to deliver game-changing results to achieve methane mitigation demands along with internal emission reduction goals. This makes ADGiLE a market-leading solution for well site operators, compressor stations, and storage facilities that must invest in methane detection and monitoring technologies.”


FLIR ADGiLE uniquely meets the most serious methane leak detection challenges while providing operational insight to understand emissions that are a part of routine industry processes versus fugitive emission events. The system can also help prevent false readings, saving time and resources by avoiding the need to manually investigate and confi rm specifi c leaks. At the same time, it can still detect intermittent leaks that happen and are too often missed by deployed aerial detection technologies using a wider temporal frequency. It can generate situational awareness that addresses the full range of challenges stemming from various methane emission scenarios.

Compact and portable environmental monitoring stations provide precise and dependable air pollution data in industrial and urban locations


The Nanoenvi EQ from Envira is a portable station that incorporates different gases and particles analysers to monitor emissions and air quality. This type of portable station is widely used to carry out complementary emissions monitoring in industrial plants such as cement, electrical, chemical, refi neries, paper mills, etc: it is also used in cities for measuring traffi c pollution.


The main advantage is its portability since it can be easily moved to the point of interest where you want to take the measurement. The mobile unit is equipped with VOC, particulate matter, NOx CO2


, SO2 , H2 S, and CO analysers. This model is available for sale and


in rental service. On request, its interior can also be tailored with analysers that monitor other parameters such as noise, temperature, moisture and weather conditions.


Envira also designs and supplies compact stations to measure air quality, a reduced size version of the fi xed stations that can be placed in locations where there is not much space available, such as in city centres.


These compact stations can be easily moved without great effort as they are equipped with wheels and can be confi gured with all types of gas analysers (SO2


matter meters and meteorology systems. 62061pr@reply-direct.com

If you are responsible for air pollution around an oil, gas or industrial site, you have a range of options at different price points. AQMesh offers a cost-effective way to continuously monitor ambient air quality, as frequently as every minute, with readings accessed securely online and user-settable alerts. This system offers an ideal, confi dential fi rst step to understanding whether you – or your neighbours – have an emissions problem, particularly as the equipment is available on a rental basis, anywhere in the world.

, NOx , CO, O3 ...), particulate


AQMesh has been used in a wide range of applications - from the coldest to hottest conditions - for over ten years, and 15 different pollutant and environmental measurements can be provided by a single pod, using bespoke sensor confi gurations. The most popular measurements for petrochemical customers are hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide and volatile organic compounds.


H2 S, SO2 and TVOC – including EtO – can be measured down to single fi gure ppb, with a high level of accuracy, and CO2 readings


provide a real-time, accurate measurement of local combustion. AQMesh pods can be quickly and easily deployed around petrochemical fence lines, landfi ll boundaries, wastewater site perimeters and around mining facilities to provide completely confi dential real-time air pollution data.


One requirement we see regularly is for monitoring around vulnerable communities, such as housing areas or schools, to understand potential exposure. Pods are being used in a variety of oil & gas, manufacturing and processing applications to detect and identify sources of pollution and inform potential mitigation strategies. Although not a regulatory instrument – so readings are not generally reportable – various data management techniques can offer traceability back to an approved methodology, providing data quality assurance.
