Onshore Oil & Gas

 

Reliable Flame Detection When Every Second Counts

 

In refining applications, there is no room for error. You need detection that is as fast as it is accurate. Between flare reflections, maintenance welding, and high-heat hotspots, false alarms used to be an accepted risk. With FlameSpec™, they are now entirely avoidable.

We deliver the precision to distinguish between a threat and an operational byproduct—eliminating costly downtime without compromising safety.

With flare reflections, welding and other hotspots, false alarms are an avoidable option now.

Recommended Products

Engineered for the rigorous safety standards of the energy sector, FlameSpec™ detectors redefine performance through superior reliability and seamless integration.

The wide range of detection technologies for different fuels and risks offered by FGD® FlameSpec™ offers customers the ultimate in protection without compromise.

High Risk Operation

 

Eliminating the hidden costs of safety. In volatile environments, we provide the precision needed to prevent shutdowns that threaten both lives and margins.

 

Where hydrocarbons, confined workspaces, and human activity meet, the risk of fire and explosion is a constant reality.

Reliable detection is your first line of defense, engineered to deliver peak performance even in the most punishing heat and humidity.

Application Challenges

 

Onshore Industrial Oil & Gas processing is a safety critical operation

 

  • Harsh environmental conditions: UV exposure, humidity, dirt, and dust. Dense environment with metal structures and complex layouts make placement of flame and gas detection challenging
  • Limited access for maintenance or manual inspection
  • Safety-critical zones requiring ultra-fast, zero-false-alarm detection
  • Regulatory compliance with ATEX, IECEx, UL and CSA

Detection Strategy & Zone Types

Multi-layered safety across platform zones

Different areas of onshore facilities require tailored detection strategies:

Process Areas (Crackers, Compressors, Pipelines, Valves):

 

Multiple risk types can be covered by IR3, IR3-H2 or UV-IR detectors. FGD® FlameSpec™ detectors offer high speed detection and industry leading false alarm rejection.

Remote and/or Secure Areas:

 

The unique integrated HD video camera offers the operator the chance to analyze and assess before activating shutdown. Additionally vital information can be relayed to first responders for incident management and post event analysis saving thousands on insurance premiums.

Storage Areas:

 

Large area coverage and integrated HD video can reduce the device count saving on I/O points and cable. FGD® also offers unique mounting options for floating roof storage tanks
