    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.
