Ultrasound cameras for remote gas leak detection

Info

Distran develops and sells ultrasound cameras able to "see" ultrasounds: each of the 124 ultrasound sensors on the camera perceives incoming sounds with a slight shift of a fraction of a milliseconds. This allows the algorithms inside the camera to compute back the position of the sound source and to display it in real-time to the user. The principle is similar to antenna arrays used by astronomers or the military. Here, the device is hand-held and allows industrials to quickly spot faults such as gas leak in their installation, often comprising hundreds of kilometers of pipes and thousands of potentially leaky elements. Beyond cost savings, this tool enables to increase industrial safety and decrease emission of green house gases.

It depends on your needs! → 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, with their array of advanced features, are designed to deliver precise and reliable results when operated by trained professionals. This makes them a dependable choice, especially for tasks involving regulatory compliance. However, these tools require extensive training, limiting their use to a group of experts. → On the other hand, 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀, with their intuitive design and minimal training requirements, are perfect for daily use and more complex tasks. They can be comfortably used by a larger number of operators, making the process more accessible and less daunting. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻 𝗨𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘀. If you need to find leaks quickly, a 15-minute video training session accessible via a QR code on the camera provides operators with sufficient information to use the device reliably in most situations. The Ultra Pro's advanced features enable you to find even smaller leaks, such as fugitive emissions in noisy environments or quantify releases. Distran also offers professional on-site or remote training by experts for these more complex tasks. 📌 Are you looking for an expert tool or a user-friendly one? Share your story in the comments!

    One gas leak, two devices, two different results: which suits your needs? Let's compare: ➟ 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝘀𝗲: Ultrasonic cameras require only 15 minutes of training, while OGI cameras need extensive training and practice. ➟ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: OGI devices struggle with wind, humidity, and residual gases. Ultrasonic cameras can be affected by noise, but Distran has strategies to counter it. ➟ 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: OGI cameras detect hydrocarbons and IR-active molecules. Ultrasonic cameras detect any gas type, including nitrogen, hydrogen, etc. ➟ 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Ultrasonic cameras provide on-the-spot leak rate quantification. OGI cameras need a tripod, time, and image post-processing. ➟ 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: OGI images require expert interpretation. Ultrasonic cameras allow even untrained staff to visualize leaks in real-time. Infrared and Ultrasonic cameras provide different outcomes. 𝗬𝗲𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆. How?

    Safety is a top priority for Air Liquide, and while we strive to improve safety in all our operations, we also look for new technologies in wider ecosystems. That's why we are working with innovative #startups! For instance, through ALIAD Venture Capital by Air Liquide, we collaborate with the startup Distran, focused on boosting safety standards in #hydrogen mobility. This partnership has been particularly fruitful: ✅ DISTRAN develops cutting-edge ultrasonic imaging cameras, allowing more effective monitoring and detection of potential gas leaks. In 2023, ALIAD took a minority participation in this start-up to support the company’s growth. ✅ In 2023, the start-up developed a new version of its "SonicView Pro" technology, specifically adapted to Air Liquide's needs, in close collaboration with experts from the Group. ✅ After having successfully demonstrated their performance and reliability, these #cameras can now be used in heavy-duty hydrogen refueling stations and filling centers designed by Air Liquide advanced Technologies. By supporting innovative start-ups, we create a win-win relationship with technological, strategic and financial opportunities for both start-ups and Air Liquide! 🎯
