Application Spotlight: Inspecting Natural Gas Compressors
LOCATING GAS LEAKS WITH OPTICAL GAS IMAGING OR VISUAL BORESCOPE INSPECTIONS
Compressors can fail for several reasons, including extensive wear or thermal stress on components. Determining the source of the failure through external inspections can be time consuming and labor intensive, while internal component inspections are challenging when you can't directly see inside the equipment. Incorporating a borescope or OGI camera into a routine maintenance plan can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors.
