Fate and Transport Tools

These videos, presentations, and resources are intended to assist communities and industry stakeholders to recognize pollution sources. By recognizing sources of fugitive emissions, good industry practices can be applied to control and eliminate harmful pollutants which can contribute to health risks, create nuisances, or cause property damage.

FLIR Footage


FLIR stands for Forward Looking Infrared. Sensors in the camera detect infrared radiation, (usually emitted from a heat source), to create video output. FLIR can be used for leak detection and can visualize gas leaks in real time. It is able to identify 1-Pentene - 5.6g/hr, Benzene - 3.5g/hr, Butane -0.4g/hr, Ethane - 0.6g/hr, Ethanol - 0.7g/hr, Ethylbenzene - 1.5g/hr, Ethylene - 4.4g/hr, Heptane - 1.8g/hr, Hexane - 1.7g/hr, Isoprene - 8.1g/hr, MEK - 3.5g/hr, Methane - 0.8g/hr, Methanol - 3.8g/hr, MIBK - 2.1g/hr, Octane - 1.2g/hr, Pentane - 3.0g/hr, Propane - 0.4g/hr, Propylene - 2.9g/hr, Toluene - 3.8g/hr, and Xylene - 1.9g/hr.
