Opgal is a global manufacturer of thermal imaging systems and cameras that operates in safety, security, aviation, and defense markets. It produces the EyeCGas, a cooled thermal imaging camera designed for gas leak detection in petrochemical, oil and gas, and power industries. The EyeCGas detects gas leaks invisible to the human eye by capturing infrared radiation emitted or transmitted by gases. It helps locate leaks faster and from a remote location compared to traditional methods. Opgal is headquartered in Israel and backed by Rafael Ltd. and Elbit Systems Ltd.

High sensitivity to a spectrum invisible to the
human eye, makes EYE-C-GAS™ a critical tool
in fugitive gas leak detection.

Infrared Spectrum
 Infrared cameras or Thermal Imagers, detect radiation in
the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
 This range is approximately 0.9 - 200 m.

11. Opgal Proprietary and Confidential
Mid Wave IR Spectrum
 Cameras that detect gases of interest to oil
and natural gas personnel, operate in the
middle portion of this spectrum, between 3 – 5
m.

How it works
 The leaking gas temperature differs from the background
temperature
 The EYE-C-GAS camera spectral band coincides with
the emissivity (absorbance) spectra of the leaking gas

14. Opgal Proprietary and Confidential
How it works
 In the following figures the spectrum in MWIR for
Methane and Butane are shown, while the horizontal
axis shows the spectrum in microns and the vertical axis
shows the transmittance of the gas in the atmosphere,
the lower percentage is the higher absorption for the
gas.

15. Opgal Proprietary and Confidential
EYE-C-GAS can detect Methane flow of 0.35g/h @ 2˚C ∆T.
EYE-C-GAS can detect Butane flow of 0.86g/h @ 1˚C ∆T.
EYE-C-GAS can detect at much lower flows than the required
by the EPA for Method 21, AWP (Alternative Work Practice)
0.35g/h vs. 60g/h.
Minimum Flow Rate Detection
 High sensitivity cooled thermal imaging camera -
EyeCGas detects the smallest infrared radiation
differences.

Gas exact localization
 EyeCGas produces images of infrared energy
and displays it on a screen, similar to how a
camcorder displays video

Applications
 The main applications of the EYE-C-GAS are in the
areas of the Petrochemical, Natural Gas, Oil and
Power plants for:
 Periodical monitoring to comply with AWP
 Inspection for leaks before any repair to prevent
the presence of gas during hot works
 Inspection after any repair where a leak was found
to check the repair was done properly
 Walk around procedure, where the operator walks
with the camera to look for any major leaks in the
plant
 Inspections during start-ups
