Top of the line hardware.

The FLIR G300 is an optical gas imaging (OGI) camera that visualizes gas, to monitor installations in remote or hazardous areas for gas leaks and catch dangerous, costly hydrocarbon or volatile organic compound (VOC) leaks. OGI cameras are widely used in industrial settings, such as natural gas processing plants and offshore platforms.

The Taurob Gasfinder is also equipped with the Dräger X-am 8000 is one of the best gas-sniffer on the market. It can detect and analyse the smallest leak with up to 7 different type of toxic or inflammable gases.

Case Study: detecting minuscule 2g/second methane leaks on the TADI* site from 20 meters.
