The Cantronic COMPASS V340 is a handheld Optical Gas Imaging camera that makes invisible gas leaks visible in real time. Built for Alberta's oilfield environment, it detects methane and 400+ VOC gases across pipelines, valves, tanks, and flare stacks — helping operators meet regulatory requirements while protecting people and bottom lines.
The COMPASS V340 brings enterprise-grade gas leak detection to the field in a single handheld unit. Powered by KT Photonics' High Operating Temperature (HOT) mid-wave infrared detector, the V340 delivers crystal-clear real-time thermal imaging at a spectral response of 3.2–3.5μm — the sweet spot for methane, propane, benzene, and hundreds of other hydrocarbons common in upstream and midstream operations.
Where traditional leak detection methods require time-consuming sniffers or shutdown windows, the V340 lets technicians scan large areas rapidly without stopping production. Built-in gas quantification, plume colorization, and GPS tagging turn every scan into documented, reportable data — critical for operators navigating Canada's evolving emissions regulations (EPA OOOOa/b/c, AER LDAR requirements).
The V340 is ATEX certified for use in hazardous areas, operates in temperatures from -20°C to +50°C, and runs for over 3.5 hours per charge — ready for a full day shift in northern Alberta conditions. With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C connectivity, findings move from camera to report without friction.
For Trido Energy Services customers already investing in facility electrification and chemical injection optimization, the V340 is the next logical tool: find and eliminate the losses that offset the savings you've already built.
