Optical Gas Imaging

See What Others Miss. Capture Invisible Emissions in Real Time.

Golden Valley Environmental offers professional Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) services using advanced FLIR infrared camera technology to detect methane, VOCs, and other hydrocarbon emissions that are invisible to the naked eye. OGI is a powerful complement to traditional LDAR programs, allowing for rapid detection of leaks from a safe distance—without interrupting operations.

Our certified technicians use OGI to scan tanks, piping, flanges, valves, and compressor seals, instantly visualizing gas leaks that could otherwise go unnoticed. This tool is especially effective for identifying intermittent or low-level emissions and is widely used for root-cause analysis, follow-up leak verification, and emissions reduction planning.

OGI inspections are non-invasive, fast, and highly effective for both proactive leak detection and regulatory response. We offer standalone OGI surveys or combine them with LDAR inspections to provide a comprehensive emissions profile of your site. Every inspection includes documented footage, still images, and a summary report detailing the source and severity of each observed leak.

In a regulatory landscape that’s increasingly focused on fugitive emissions and methane reduction, OGI provides the clarity and confidence your operation needs to stay compliant and reduce environmental impact. Whether you're responding to a suspected leak, preparing for inspection, or building out a proactive monitoring program—GVE has the tools and experience to deliver results.
