Gas companies are continuing to work toward reducing maintenance and operations downtime on equipment and improving reliability and availability. While predictive tools such as oil analysis and engine/compressor analyzers are commonplace, one technology that can add significant value is thermal imaging. Gas companies are facing tighter windows regarding maintenance and overhaul time because of the increasing demand for natural gas by their customers. Additionally, gas companies are looking for opportunities to reduce operations and maintenance costs, eliminate lost and unaccounted for gas, and reduce the risk of catastrophic failures to their equipment. Thermal imaging or infrared technology can be utilized to assist companies in achieving these goals. This paper and presentation will introduce the different levels of infrared technology available. The discussion will assist companies with identifying a list of considerations that should be addressed prior to determining the level of technology that will be appropriate for their needs. The presentation will show thermal imaging pictures of how the technology can be used to improve the predictive maintenance program. Real examples will be provided to show how this technology added millions of dollars to the bottom line of two natural gas companies that have incorporated thermal imaging into their maintenance programs.
