MetCam – Methane Optical Gas Imager

Methane Optical Gas Imaging Camera

MetCam is an innovative Methane Optical Gas Imager designed by CI Systems Limited. MetCam's fully integrated Optical Gas Imaging Camera (OGI) which uses advanced optical technology for methane gas cloud and emissions detection for the oil and gas, energy, and process industries. Through continuous emissions monitoring and Quantifying Optical Gas Imaging (QOGI), this breakthrough technology enhances safety by detecting and alerting about hazardous methane gas clouds round-the-clock. It also quantifies and visualizes gas emissions, providing crucial real-time data that supports faster, data-driven responses. Durable, easy to integrate, and self-calibrating, MetCam is a proven solution for maintaining safety and efficiency at your facility.
MetCam performs three applications in parallel:
  • Automatic alarms on the presence of gas clouds exceeding flammable thresholds
  • Imaging and quantification of minute leaks
  • Situational awareness video

Key Benefits

  • Continuous automatic Methane leak detection and emissions monitoring
