Optical Gas Imaging Thermography Certification

Develop the skills needed to perform effective Optical Gas Imaging inspections for leak detection and repair (LDAR), fugitive emissions monitoring, and environmental compliance.

 

  • Detect methane, VOCs, and fugitive emissions safely and efficiently
  • Support LDAR compliance and emissions reduction initiatives
  • Gain hands-on experience with OGI inspection techniques and workflows

Optical Gas Imaging Objectives

Develop the skills needed to perform professional OGI inspections.

  1. 1

    Understand Infrared Science & Technology

    Learn the science behind Optical Gas Imaging, how infrared gas detection works, and the conditions that affect gas visualization and detection performance.

  2. 2

    Operate OGI Cameras with Confidence

    Develop proficiency with OGI camera setup, operation, image interpretation, and inspection techniques used in real-world environments.

  3. 3

    Identify Emissions More Effectively

    Learn how methane, VOCs, and hydrocarbon emissions behave and how environmental conditions influence leak detection success.

  4. 4

    Conduct Reliable OGI Surveys

    Apply industry best practices for planning inspections, documenting findings, verifying leaks, and producing meaningful reports.

The Most Important Investment You Can Make

Successful OGI inspections require more than owning a gas detection camera. Understanding camera capabilities, operating limitations, environmental influences, and proper inspection techniques is critical to achieving reliable and repeatable results in the field.

Why Organizations Choose Optical Gas Imaging Training

The business case for investing in OGI certified thermography programs
EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT & LDAR COMPLIANCE

Detect Emissions Before They Become Compliance Issues

Learn how OGI is used to identify fugitive emissions across valves, flanges, connectors, tanks, compressors, and other critical assets while supporting LDAR and environmental compliance objectives.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY & PRODUCT LOSS REDUCTION

Find More Leaks in Less Time

OGI technology enables inspectors to survey large areas from a safe distance, helping organizations identify emissions that may contribute to product loss, wasted resources, and operational inefficiencies. OGI inspections can cover equipment significantly faster than traditional methods.

SAFETY & INSPECTION EFFECTIVENESS

Improve Visibility Without Disrupting Operations

Learn how to perform inspections from a safe distance while improving visibility into methane, VOC, and hydrocarbon emissions across difficult-to-access assets and operating areas.
