Telops, leader in the field of high performance infrared cameras and hyperspectral imaging systems for the Defense and Security, Environmental, Oil and Gas, and Industrial markets, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract for a leak detection and identification system by Sinopec Group, located in Beijing, P.R. China.
The contract includes the delivery of a leak detection and identification system based on Telops Hyper-Cam, the leading FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) hyperspectral imaging instrument. This substantial agreement with the Sinopec Group reinforces Telops’ position as the leading supplier in the hyperspectral imaging systems market. Indeed, novel leak detection and identification algorithms coupled with Telops Hyper-Cam, will assist Sinopec’s objective to acquire the capability of real-time detection and identification of chemical leaks or fugitive emissions of chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Such real-time gas imaging will ensure that chemicals will be detected and identified promptly.
‘‘We are thrilled to assist Sinopec in their efforts of ensuring adequate safety and security of the personnel, minimizing the impact on the air quality of the environment.’’ says Jean Giroux, C.E.O. at Telops. The Telops leak detection and identification system will monitor simultaneously several gases including specific aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene and xylenes, and smelling compounds such as ammonia and sulphur dioxide. Many more gases will also be monitored.
