Confirmed colorless gas leak with camera
It also provides standard thermal imaging camera functions.

FLIR Systems Korea announced that it supplied FLIR GF320 gas imaging cameras to SK Energy Ulsan Complex (hereinafter 'Ulsan CLX').

Lee Bo-rim, a manager at Ulsan CLX Inspection Team 1, stated, "Since most leaked gases are colorless, detection is difficult, but using the FLIR GF320 camera is very useful as it allows us to easily identify the leak location." She added, "Above all, because measurements can be taken from a distance, we can effectively ensure the safety of workers from hazardous gases." Manager Lee explained, "If we can simply identify the location of the leak, most issues can be resolved with a simple task like tightening bolts. However, if we cannot, it is cumbersome because workers must repeatedly dismantle and reassemble the facility piece by piece while isolating the suspected area. Furthermore, repair and damage costs would be enormous, and there is sometimes a possibility of explosion."

In addition to gas imaging, the GF320 also provides general thermal imaging camera functions. In fact, Ulsan CLX detected a defect caused by the deterioration of the insulation covering the 60-inch diameter pipe connecting the reactor and the tower using the thermal imaging camera function of the GF320 and took prompt action.

FLIR Systems Korea stated, “We are very pleased that FLIR’s gas imaging and thermal imaging technologies can contribute to increasing the efficiency of maintenance management for the entire Ulsan CLX facility,” and added, “Utilizing the FLIR GF320 in oil refineries and petrochemical plants not only protects worker safety by detecting invisible hazards such as gas leaks, but also significantly reduces maintenance costs and time by enabling continuous plant operations through rapid action.”
