Process & Product Overflow Applications
Petroleum refineries as well as many other facilities, like metal refining, pulp and paper plants, operate around the clock. In this situation, if a production stoppage occurs the product loss is never made up. Regular infrared inspections allow the maintenance department to be planned, thus preventing unnecessary shut-downs, and closer control of the production process.
Some uses are refractory lining, chimney stacks, pipe and vessel insulation, Product flow problems, such as leakages in vessels, tanks and underground transfer lines, heat exchangers and air coolers, Shut-off and relief valves, trace heating, liquid or solid levels in storage tanks and vessels, and the presence of tank sludge can be identified.
Physical property changes such as corrosion, cracking, thinning, erosion, leaks, blockages, paper machine moisture profiling, varying fluid levels, coking, scale build-up, can cause detectable variations in infrared energy patterns. Coking and scale build-up of process furnace tubes is a critical issue in which thermography can assist to identify.

Used Infrared Cameras Wanted
In these recessionary times companies have to optimize their finances as best they can. Because of this we here at the Institute have been getting many calls to recommend what we think is the best IR Camera to purchase for the money. In other words what is the best value?
Now, we do not recommend any camera or manufacturer, if we did we would lose our independence and our “unbiased” status, and become like the other training companies out there.
But, we wanted to help our students and the Infrared Community, so we have created a new service:
The IR Camera Buy and Sell
To sell or purchase an IR camera simply send an email and let us know in details what you want to sell or purchase and we will do our best to match you up with what you are looking for.
There is no fee for this; it is a courtesy of IRT.
IR Cameras Wanted:
Mikron 7800 series IR Camera with 320x 240 detector.
