Enhancing Oil & Gas Safety with Acoustic Inspection

Print 🖨

In the oil and gas industry, maintaining operational integrity and worker safety is non-negotiable. Gas leaks, mechanical failures, and partial discharges not only jeopardize safety but also impact uptime and profitability. At Microwatt, we’re committed to equipping our clients with leading-edge tools to detect these risks early—before they become costly incidents.

The Sorama CAM iV64s acoustic camera offers a smarter, safer way to monitor your assets. Designed for real-time acoustic inspection, it enables oil and gas professionals to pinpoint gas leaks and mechanical anomalies with precision and from a safe distance.

Real-Time Leak Detection

The Sorama CAM iV64s is a handheld acoustic camera designed for mobile inspections of gas and air leaks, as well as mechanical diagnostics. It detects both audible and ultrasonic frequencies, translating sound into visual heatmaps for immediate identification of issues. This real-time monitoring helps prevent costly incidents, ensuring facilities operate smoothly while maintaining a safe environment for staff and the community.

Streamlined Inspection Process

Select Inspection Mode: Choose from leak inspection, partial discharge inspection, or mechanical inspection to automatically configure the device for the specific task.
Refine Settings: Adjust parameters such as unit system, gas pressure, gas cost, and operating hours to tailor the inspection.
Start Scanning: Point the CAM iV64s at the area of interest; it will instantly translate sound data into colourful, heatmap-like visuals, pinpointing any detected leaks in real time.
Capture and Report: Use the acoustic camera to capture still images or video footage of the leak. Generate reports of your measurements and upload them via USB-C or through the Sorama Portal

Enhancing Safety in Hazardous Zones

In hazardous areas such as ATEX zones, the Sorama CAM iV64Ex (certification pending) delivers precise detection and visualization for enhanced safety and predictive maintenance. This explosion-proof variant allows for safe inspections in environments with flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dust.

Optimize Maintenance and Reduce Costs

By enabling early detection of leaks and mechanical anomalies, the Sorama CAM iV64s supports predictive maintenance strategies. This proactive approach reduces unplanned downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and enhances overall operational efficiency.
