Stop Fugitive Emissions Before They Cost You

Fugitive Emissions Are a Hidden Threat that Threaten your Operations

Leaks from valves, flanges, seals, and pipe fittings release harmful gases into the atmosphere, creating safety, regulatory, and financial risks. Many traditional detection methods are slow, unreliable, or require shutdowns, leading to:

• Regulatory fines and non-compliance – Environmental agencies are cracking down on emissions violations.
• Energy waste and production losses – Leaking gases reduce efficiency and drive up operating costs.
• Serious safety hazards – Toxic or flammable gas leaks put workers and facilities at risk.

Find and Fix Fugitive Emissions with Acoustic Imaging

Most leak detection methods rely on handheld sniffers or infrared cameras, which can be time-consuming and require ideal conditions. Acoustic imaging changes the game by detecting the ultrasound produced as gas escapes, pinpointing leaks in real time-without contact or downtime.

• No shutdowns or disruptions – Find leaks while systems are running.
• Instant leak visualization – See exactly where gas is escaping.
• Faster, more thorough inspections – Scan vast portions of your system in minutes, not hours.
• Immediate cost savings – Reduce waste, prevent unplanned maintenance, and stay compliant.

Unlike traditional methods, acoustic imaging provides a fast, accurate, and cost-effective approach to fugitive emissions detection, helping you take control of leaks before they become expensive problems.

Leak Inspection Procedure

1. Plan Your Survey – Identify high-risk areas and prepare for a structured fugitive emissions survey.
2. Scan for Leaks – Use acoustic imaging to detect gas leaks instantly, even in complex facilities.
3. Document & Report – Record findings, assess leak severity, and prioritize critical repairs.
4. Schedule & Complete Repairs – Stop leaks before they lead to costly consequences.
5. Verify & Monitor – Conduct follow-up inspections to ensure leaks are sealed and new ones aren’t forming.
   Take Control of Your Fugitive Emissions

Uncontrolled gas leaks are more than just wasteful—they’re a serious financial and regulatory liability. Detect and fix leaks before they cause safety issues, compliance violations, or expensive downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to detect fugitive emissions?

While traditional methods like infrared cameras and sniffers have limitations, acoustic imaging provides a faster, more reliable solution by detecting leaks instantly in any environment—without requiring direct contact with the leak source.

How does acoustic imaging work?

When gas escapes under pressure, it produces high-frequency sound waves that are difficult to hear. Acoustic imaging technology captures these sound waves and converts them into a real-time visual leak map, allowing you to locate and assess leaks instantly.

What gases can be detected?

Acoustic imaging can identify leaks in compressed air, methane, hydrogen, oxygen, CO2, steam, and other pressurized gases, making it a powerful tool for multiple industries.

How fast can I see a return on investment (ROI)?

Most facilities see ROI on day one after repairing leaks. Even a small gas leak can result in thousands of dollars in annual losses—fixing them immediately cuts costs, improves efficiency, and prevents compliance issues.

What’s the best way to get buy-in from management?

Show them the numbers. Conduct a quick survey to estimate current gas losses and potential savings. Highlight how reducing emissions prevents regulatory fines, reduces energy costs, and improves safety, making it a smart financial and operational decision.

How easy is it to find fugitive emissions with acoustic imaging?

Unlike infrared cameras that require specific temperature conditions or handheld sniffers that require close contact, acoustic imaging detects leaks from a distance and in real-time. This allows for faster, safer, and more accurate inspections across an entire facility.
