With more than a decade of experience deploying OGI in real-world situations – along with our industry-leading and user-friendly management software – Montrose is a pioneer in the field and understands the value and application of this technology.

Rather than manually monitoring each individual component for leaks, OGI takes advantage of FLIR optical gas imaging to scan facilities up to 20 times faster – including unregulated, unsafe, or inaccessible components that Method 21 can’t always reach. Accuracy increases and ghost leaks (mis-identification of leaks) are eliminated because you’re able to see exactly where a leak is occurring; gas drifts or imprecise scans with handheld devices no longer drag down efficiency or affect safety.

Just as important, OGI opens up a new and much more productive path for leak detection. Rather than focusing on small leaks that have a negligible impact on total emissions, you can concentrate your energies on the large leaks (up to 10,000 times the volume) that are the most serious emissions problem. In fact, data show that optically identified leaks account for 90% of total emissions volume.

In the near future, actual volumetric leak rates will become the standard by which emissions are judged, rather than leak counts or leak concentrations. With our OGI capabilities and expertise, Montrose can get you there today.

Detection

• Efficient, cost-effective identification of exact emission source
• Scans for previously missed unsafe or inaccessible areas
• Use of the most appropriate secondary-leak screening technology to meet or exceed compliance requirements
• Hazardous atmosphere monitoring to ensure safety
• Certified technicians who’ve all been professionally trained, and undergone a detailed competency/audit program, immersion in task-specific inspection protocols, and extensive quality control training

Management Software

• Accurate and valid leak and emission data generation to demonstrate compliance with FEMP and LDAR programs
• Data management and tracking from the point of monitoring to final component repair
• Online analysis: a centralized database for communicating emission survey results, repair tracking, and facilitation of corporate and regulatory reporting
• Field access: custom field data entry software on handheld devices ensures consistent fugitive emission data capture and enables instant data sync with online database
• Mobile tracking: Android-based application allows field crews to efficiently create LDAR component inventories and track EPA Method 21 monitoring results
