Advanced Leak Detection

Photonics, a research and development arm of Providence, specializes in the development and utilization of advanced technology in optical gas imaging. Photonics is tackling some of industry’s most challenging environmental and safety problems. Using advanced computer vision techniques and state-of-the-art infrared and multi-spectral imagers, Providence delivers solutions for many applications, including autonomous remote leak detection and flare combustion efficiency monitoring.

We have also developed a unique method for optical gas imager calibration. Through an innovative ongoing R&D project, Photonics has built an autonomous leak detection system prototype that yields compelling performance. The system, which utilizes advanced computer vision techniques, has demonstrated the ability to detect small hydrocarbon leaks (1-2 lbs/hr) at distances of several hundred feet. The research program has led to other new optical imaging technologies with multiple patent applications, and long-term pilot projects are currently underway.
