Infrared inspection of storage tank roofs using the FLIR Gx320 is a proactive safety practice in the oil refining industry. The technology allows operators to detect fugitive hydrocarbon emissions and gas leaks from a safe distance, reducing personnel exposure to hazardous areas while enabling early intervention. As part of a routine inspection program, this technique helps prevent accidents, fire hazards, environmental incidents, and unplanned shutdowns by identifying potential failures before they become critical.
