The results of this investigation can be used as a basis for corrective action.

Gas imaging camera: Quick and efficient detection of leaks in bio methane or biogas installations

Leaks in bio methane or biogas installations can’t only lead to dangerous situations but also pose a threat to the environment. Additionally, leaking gas represents a direct financial loss. That’s why it is crucial to detect and repair leaks and vulnerable areas in green gas and biogas systems as quickly as possible. Kiwa can assist with this by conducting camera inspections using an advanced gas imaging camera.
