OPTICAL GAS IMAGING DRONE
At Drone Hire Australia, we are proud to offer cutting-edge OGI (Optical Gas Imaging) drone inspection services that combine the power of advanced drone technology with the precision of optical gas imaging to provide accurate and efficient inspections for various industries across Australia.
What is OGI Drone Inspection?
OGI drone inspection is a specialised inspection form that utilises drones equipped with optical gas imaging cameras to detect and visualise gas leaks in industrial facilities, pipelines, and other infrastructure. This advanced technology allows for quick and non-intrusive inspection of areas that are otherwise difficult to access or pose potential safety risks to humans.
With years of experience in the drone industry, our skilled and certified drone pilots and inspection specialists are well-equipped to handle a wide range of OGI inspections. We have worked with clients from various sectors, including oil and gas, chemical plants, and power generation. Our expertise enables us to deliver accurate and reliable inspection results to our clients, ensuring the safety and integrity of their operations.
State-of-the-Art Equipment:
We utilise state-of-the-art drones and optical gas imaging cameras to deliver exceptional OGI drone inspection services. Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced sensors that can detect and capture even the smallest gas leaks. The optical gas imaging cameras produce real-time thermal images, allowing our experts to identify and pinpoint potential issues with precision.

Using an optical gas camera for drone inspections can be an effective way to detect various types of defects and issues. The camera helps identify gas leaks, emissions, and other anomalies that might not be visible to the naked eye. Here are some defects and issues that a drone inspection using an optical gas camera can detect:
-
Gas Leaks: Optical gas cameras can detect leaks of various gases, including methane, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur dioxide, and more. These leaks can occur in industrial facilities, pipelines, storage tanks, and other infrastructure.
-
Pipeline Corrosion: Corrosion in pipelines can lead to gas leaks and structural weakness. Optical gas cameras can identify areas where corrosion has caused gas to escape.
-
Venting and Emission Anomalies: Facilities sometimes vent gases as part of normal operations. However, leaks or excessive venting can indicate operational issues or regulatory non-compliance.
-
Equipment Malfunction: Optical gas cameras can identify areas where equipment such as valves, seals, or connectors are malfunctioning and releasing gases.
-
Environmental Monitoring: Drones equipped with optical gas cameras can monitor emissions from factories, refineries, and other industrial sites to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
-
Heat Exchanger Leaks: Optical gas cameras can identify leaks in heat exchangers that might be releasing gases into the environment.
-
Natural Gas Infrastructure: Drone inspections with optical gas cameras can help identify leaks or defects in natural gas infrastructure, including wellheads and distribution systems.
-
Landfill Gas Emissions: Landfills can produce methane and other gases as waste decomposes. Optical gas cameras can detect emissions that might be contributing to air quality issues.
-
Chemical Plant Monitoring: Optical gas cameras can be used to monitor chemical plants for leaks of hazardous or volatile substances.
-
Fire and Safety Inspections: Optical gas cameras can identify gas leaks that might pose a fire hazard or a threat to worker safety.
-
Security Breaches: Optical gas cameras can help identify potential security breaches by detecting unauthorised emissions or leaks.
-
Remote and Inaccessible Areas: Drones equipped with optical gas cameras can access remote or hard-to-reach areas, helping to identify defects that might otherwise go unnoticed.
-
Emergency Response: In the event of accidents or disasters, drones with optical gas cameras can be deployed to assess the extent of gas leaks and emissions.
