Freefly Ventus OGI Payload: Smarter Gas Leak Detection with Drones

In industries like oil and gas, utilities, and chemical manufacturing, detecting gas leaks is crucial for safety and compliance. The Freefly Ventus OGI Payload changes the way we detect leaks by combining drone technology and infrared imaging. This advanced Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) system helps operators find and respond to gas leaks faster and more safely.

What is the Freefly Ventus OGI Payload?

The Ventus OGI Payload is a lightweight camera system developed by Freefly Systems and Sierra-Olympia Technologies. It detects gas leaks using a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) sensor. This camera works with Freefly’s Astro drone, making inspections quick and easy.

Unlike handheld detectors, the Ventus OGI lets operators cover large areas without needing scaffolding or shutting down operations. Whether inspecting pipelines, tanks, or refineries, the payload provides a better way to maintain safety and meet regulations.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ High-Resolution MWIR Sensor

The Ventus OGI comes with a 640 x 512 cooled MWIR sensor. This gives clear thermal images and can detect even small gas leaks, including methane, propane, and other harmful compounds.

✅ Gas Enhancement Mode (GEM)

The GEM feature shows gases in color, making them easy to see. This helps operators make quick decisions during critical situations.

✅ Lightweight and Optimized for Flight

Weighing just 1,320 grams (2.91 lbs), the payload is designed for drones. It works for over 25 minutes when attached to the Astro drone.

✅ EPA-Certified Leak Detection

The Ventus OGI meets EPA standards like OOOOa, OOOOb, OOOOc, and Appendix K. This helps ensure your company stays compliant with environmental regulations.

✅ Easy to Mount

The Freefly Smart Dovetail system makes attaching the payload quick and easy, saving time and boosting efficiency.

Ideal Use Cases

• Oil & Gas Inspections – Check well pads, compressor stations, and storage tanks with precision.
• Refineries & Chemical Plants – Perform regular Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) checks without causing downtime.
• Natural Gas Utilities – Inspect pipelines and urban areas for emissions.
• Environmental Monitoring – Meet climate standards and help reduce greenhouse gases.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose the Freefly Ventus OGI Payload?
