From Toxics Action Center@clairebwmiller is asking on behalf of a community that's trying to identify gas leaks in Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) tanks nearby, and they're interested in the cameras listed here:

I posted the question up here, if you can answer there, or on this list is OK too!

Thanks, everyone! Please pass along the request if you know anyone who may be able to assist!

FLIR optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras can help you detect methane, sulfur hexafluoride, and hundreds of other industrial gases quickly, accurately, and safely - without shutting down systems. With FLIR OGI cameras, you can scan broad sections of equipment rapidly and survey areas that are hard to reach with traditional contact measurement tools. OGI cameras can also detect leaks from a safe distance, displaying these invisible gases as clouds of smoke.

The cameras FLIR offers that can do this include:

FLIR GFx320, GF320, GF300, and G300a

Awesome, many thanks! Fwding this to Claire as well, and posting on the site for future reference

From Earthworks' site: https://www.earthworksaction.org/library/detail/flir_gasfinder_320_infrared_camera#.WcvseUuGMxx

(though I didn't find the link for the application form)

Earthworks has invested over $100,000 in a FLIR GF320 with a telephoto lens in order to document the pollution that may be linked to health and environmental impacts reported by communities, and to ensure that officials and regulators know when oil and gas facilities cause pollution. FLIR video makes visible air quality problems that warrant air monitoring, operational changes, new emission control technologies, and regulatory action.
