Fire & Gas Detection Technologies Inc. is pleased to invite members of the SFPE Houston
Chapter, affiliated organizations, and other industry professionals to attend a live
validation test of our AI-enabled Video Enhanced Flame Detection (VEFD) detector, the
FGD FlameSpec Blade, as observers or independent evaluators.
This test is intended to validate how VEFD technology (combining AI Enabled Video
Analytics with IR3 flame detection) can reduce false alarms from flare reflections and
other “friendly fires,” thereby improving system reliability, business continuity, and safety
in challenging environments (e.g., Oil & Gas, power generation, offshore facilities).
The test program will follow FM 3260 Standard for evaluating flame detector
performance and include liquid fuel pool fire scenarios (gasoline, n-heptane, diesel,
crude oil, methanol) as well as plume fire tests with LPG and natural gas. Additional
evaluations will address field-of-view obstruction and false-alarm resilience, including
flare reflection simulations and other common sources of false alarms. Lunch will be
provided, and PPE will be available if required.
As space is limited, we kindly ask you to secure your participation by completing the
registration form below.
