Designed and developed for continuous temperature measurement inside high temperature furnaces in refining, metals and glass production, the FurnaceSpection imager provides users a critical tool for improving process and reducing waste.
This radiometric imager accurately measures the temperature of product, refractory and heat transfer surfaces inside natural gas fired furnaces. For example, in refineries the LumaSense FurnaceSpection™ system enables reformer operators the ability to ensure tubes perform optimally for their longest possible lifecycle. At a cost of several thousands of dollars per tube and a re-tubing costs in the millions, a significant amount of capital can be lost if tube failure goes unnoticed or tubes are retired too early or too late. In metal annealing applications, FurnaceSpection cameras have allowed users to reduce cycle times while at the same time improving quality and process repeatability.
FurnaceSpection™ helps operators monitor and control process temperature uniformity through streaming images and powerful software for analysis and historical trending, outputs to automation and DCS, and a real-time web server to broadcast images of the plant’s local network.
FurnaceSpection™ Features include:
FurnaceSpection’s proven technology provides critical insight for failure prevention and asset management.
BoilerSpection™ is a revolutionary thermal imaging system that helps coal plants run more efficiently, extract more energy from their coal, and increase productivity.
The challenge every coal plant owner or operator faces is to generate the maximum amount of energy with the lowest emissions in the safest and most economical way. To do so plant operators constantly manage changing fuels, loads, and operations. While switching coals helps to meet price and emissions standards, it can produce greater fouling and slagging of the boiler tube surfaces.
Dirty boiler tubes can reduce efficiency. To keep the plant running at the highest achievable efficiency soot and ash must be optimally cleaned from the boiler tubes. Currently, coal plant operators use a number of ways to clean boiler tubes but have inadequate methods to measure their effectiveness and many have negative impacts such as prolonged downtime and thermal stress to the boiler tubes.
BoilerSpection™ provides a unique view into the boiler, allowing operators to have more precise control of their boiler.

BoilerSpection™ SDWith BoilerSpection™, coal plant operators can proactively manage their boilers and vastly improve uptime. In fact, a return on investment study by customer’s have found ROIs measured in only a few months, not years.
BoilerSpection™ MBBuilt for mobile use, BoilerSpection-MB utilizes special mid-wave infrared detectors to see through flames. This unique feature means BoilerSpection-MB can provide the clearest and most stable through-flame images in boilers, furnaces, kilns or incinerators.
