Aura OGI
Handheld optical gas imaging camera
Drive efficient, consistent LDAR inspections at scale
With more sites to inspect and higher survey frequency required, leak detection and repair (LDAR) teams are being asked to do more—with fewer resources, tighter timelines, and growing accountability. The Aura OGI™ handheld optical gas imaging (OGI) camera was purpose-built with these challenges in mind, helping you scale inspections without compromising accuracy, consistency, or compliance. Designed for today’s ever-changing emissions landscape, the camera transforms OGI into a streamlined, auditable workflow that supports operators of all experience levels across any facility. It combines high-resolution imaging, intuitive route guidance that shows operators exactly where to go and what to target, and built-in traceability, so that every inspection delivers reliable results, every time. With the Aura OGI camera, emissions monitoring becomes not only manageable, but repeatable, efficient, and ready to scale. Your teams can reduce inspection time, maintain regulatory readiness, and strengthen operational confidence across your LDAR program.
