I own international patents on a process for leak detection in pressurized systems.

The gold standard is to use helium (1%) mixed with nitrogen (99%). The system is purged with this mixture after each connection (threaded, flanged) is taped with a sturdy pvc tape. Once it has reached the test pressure, each connection has a hole poked in the tape and it is "sniffed" with an instrument; if its senses helium, you've got a leak. If not, you're good to go. This is very time consuming, expensive and helium is becoming increasingly scarce.

So, I'm on a job 12 years ago and just north of us was another plant that was also starting up. They were using the N2/He mixture and there was a large leak in a building that displaced all the oxygen. A man stepped into the building, took a breath and quickly asphyxiated. It got me thinkin'; if the N2/He mixture was the "gold standard" and this guy died, how good was it?

It got me wondering if there was a better way. What if we replaced helium (a scarce, finite gas) as the "tracer" gas with methane (ch4) and instead of "sniffing" each connection, used infrared cameras to inspect the connections. I did some garage science and got the rudiments. I then worked with a manufacturer to fine tune the real science in the lab.

Sure enough, we could replace helium with methane safely and our new methodology was born.

In a nutshell, we take Nitrogen (carrier gas) and mix in (at specific temperatures and pressures) methane gas at low concentrations. The mixture will not burn (even if oxygenated and a flame introduced), but can be imaged with infrared cameras that are specifically tuned for carbon based gases.

Instead of taping, poking and sniffing each connection, we could now complete the inspections significantly faster. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and fewer words are truer when it comes to leak detection. A helium inspector can expect to inspect dozens, maybe into the hundreds of connections per day. Our method allows for an inspector to image thousands of connections per day. In the field of view, you may have dozens of connections that can be inspected in seconds. That same batch could take a half of a day of sniffing. If a leak occurs and migrates from its source, a sniffer can give false positives and make you repair the wrong component thereby costing $.

We find 75% time savings with a fraction of the personnel. It is just as effective as the gold standard helium and is just as safe. The real advantage is the speed. We put projects ahead of schedule and if you're behind sched, we can help get you get caught up.

We have deployed our technology and own patents on this and associated technologies worldwide.

I'm looking for a 30-60 second video that captures this. I'm not sure of the style of animation, and am open to almost anything. I am a big guy with a big moustache and personality to match. While I may have a face for radio, I also have a suitable voice for voiceover and have no trouble writing copy and doing the voice if one is needed. The freelancer may determine its best with just text and their creation. I don't know and am willing to offer some leeway creatively.

Imma lookin' for proposals and samples. My timeline is fairly tight as I would like to sew it up in the next 7-14 days with the former being preferable to the latter.
