  • Kolkata Seniors Embrace Active, Intentional Living with Primus Ganges

    Kolkata, Feb 17: A new era of senior living is emerging in Kolkata, where ageing is no longer synonymous with slowing down, but with living intentionally. At the forefront of this transformation is Primus Ganges at Srijan Ganga City, a landmark collaboration between Srijan Realty and Primus Senior Living, India’s leading professional senior living operator.

    For decades, Kolkata’s seniors primarily aged within ancestral homes, guided by tradition and familial obligations. Today, a cultural shift is underway. Seniors are choosing independence, wellness, and community on their own terms — marking a transition from passive ageing to active, purposeful living.

    “Kolkata’s residential conversation is maturing,” says Keshav Agarwal, Director, Srijan Realty. “Today’s seniors are not downsizing — they are right-sizing. They want independence without isolation, support without stigma, and community without compromise. Primus Ganges reflects that evolution.”

    Primus Ganges offers thoughtfully designed studios, 1 BHK, and 2 BHK residences ranging from 500 sq. ft. to 1,311 sq. ft., balancing elegance with functionality. Residences feature barrier-free layouts, safety-conscious designs, and abundant natural light, ensuring comfort and empowerment rather than institutional management.

    Beyond architecture, the community emphasizes structured wellness, preventive healthcare, and seamless support. With over 3,500 senior homes under development across six cities, Primus Senior Living brings trained care teams, technology-enabled monitoring, curated engagement programs, and on-call medical assistance to every resident.

    “Senior living is not about adding more years to life,” says Adarsh Narahari, Founder & MD, Primus Senior Living. “It is about adding more life to every year. At Primus Ganges, seniors don’t just age safely — they age actively, with strength, dignity, and community.”

    The development also addresses the “worry gap” families experience when adult children are geographically dispersed. By fostering meaningful social connections, daily engagement, and preventive wellness, Primus Ganges ensures reassurance and fulfillment for both residents and families.

    With Kolkata’s strong healthcare infrastructure, cultural vibrancy, and sense of belonging, the city is poised to lead Eastern India’s senior living evolution. Primus Ganges represents the professionalization of ageing ecosystems, blending intelligent design with integrated care, where dignity, vitality, and purpose define the second innings.

    Kolkata’s seniors are no longer waiting for life to slow down. With developments like Primus Ganges, the city’s second innings is intentional, vibrant, and future-ready.

  • Methane Gas Leak Detection and Monitoring at LNG Pressure Regulation Facilities Using Flir OGI Cameras and AI

    In 2025, a public corporation in South Korea responsible for domestic LNG operations introduced the Flir GF77a optical gas imaging (OGI) camera to strengthen methane leak monitoring at the pressure regulation facilities of the Boryeong LNG Terminal.

     

    The solution combined real-time OGI video with an AI-based plume detection engine to support safer, more effective monitoring particularly in outdoor, unmanned environments where conventional sensors can be less reliable.

    The challenge: outdoor equipment + unmanned monitoring

    LNG pressure regulation facilities are mission-critical and can be vulnerable to leakage risks. While fixed gas sensors were already installed on site, the operator faced an ongoing challenge with remote, unmanned management—especially outdoors.

    As the facility manager explained:

    “LNG pressure regulation facilities are extremely critical yet prone to leakage risks. While gas sensors are installed on-site for operation, unmanned remote management posed a problem: the equipment is installed outdoors, reducing the likelihood of gas sensors detecting leaks if they occur. While seeking ways to further improve overall leak monitoring and safety for outdoor gas pressure regulation equipment, we discovered that the Flir OGI camera could detect gas leaks at an early stage.”

    The approach: validate methane visibility before full deployment

    Pole-mounted gas leak monitoring cameras at an outdoor LNG pressure regulation facility.

    Before installing the system at the LNG pressure regulation site, the team conducted an on-site test by intentionally releasing a sample methane gas to validate performance. The Flir GF77a—optimised specifically for methane detection—enabled the operator to observe the gas release pattern immediately on a monitor. Following the successful trial, the customer installed the GF77a alongside the existing CCTV infrastructure.

    Solution deployment: Flir GF77a + AI-based gas leak detection

    Installation location

    1. Field of view covering the entire outdoor pressure regulation facility

    2. Network-based installation, similar to CCTV (leveraging existing structures)

    Operating workflow

    1. The GF77a transmits real-time OGI video

    2. An AI analysis engine detects leak/plume patterns automatically

    3. Alarms are triggered and events are logged when a leak is detected

    4. Operators respond immediately based on site procedures and the situation

     

    Outcomes: wider coverage, faster awareness, lower complexity

    By adopting Flir’s visual gas detection approach, the customer strengthened monitoring across a wide area without deploying multiple cameras. Because the solution could be integrated with existing CCTV infrastructure, the operator avoided additional structures—helping to reduce overall installation complexity and cost.

    Compared with conventional sensor-only approaches, the solution also enabled visualisation-based monitoring over a broader area, supporting earlier awareness of potential risk indicators. As an AI-powered, image-based monitoring layer that complements existing sensors, the system improved surveillance capability for outdoor, unmanned LNG pressure regulation facilities.

    Operator perspective and continuous improvement

    The facility manager noted both the operational value and the roadmap for refinement:

    “We expect that applying both the AI-based gas detection system and the OGI camera system will enable more effective gas leak detection operations. While there are areas for improvement, such as sensitivity adjustment and environmental impact correction in the method of detecting gas leaks and visualizing their patterns, we clearly see the advantage of enhancing detection performance while supplementing existing measurement methods. Although it is in the early stages of installation, we expect it to help prevent safety accidents before they occur.”

    Next steps

    Looking ahead, the customer plans to:

    • Advance AI models tailored to site-specific conditions

    • Expand monitoring to broader sections for integrated facility-wide oversight

    • Extend automation capabilities across additional gas equipment types

    Conclusion

    This case demonstrates how Flir OGI cameras paired with AI plume detection can complement traditional sensor systems and raise the standard for intelligent, visual methane leak detection—supporting safer, smarter operations in LNG pressure regulation environments.

  • Jeanologia urges industry to accelerate PP Spray phase-out following ZDHC Watchlist update

    Since 2015, Jeanologia has set the standard with laser, Light Bright and G2 Ozone technologies, achieving authentic vintage effects in denim without chemical spraying.

     Valencia (Feb 17). Potassium permanganate has officially entered the Chemical Watchlist of the ZDHC Foundation, signaling increased scrutiny and potential phase-out of one of the most hazardous chemicals still used in denim finishing. The inclusion confirms an industry shift that Jeanologia anticipated more than a decade ago.

     For years, Jeanologia has called for the elimination of PP spray, warning about its impact on worker health, operational safety and the environment. Now, the industry is formally acknowledging what has been evident on factory floors worldwide.

     PP spray is commonly used to create localized vintage effects in denim, but it exposes operators to chemical micro-particles and presents serious occupational risks. Despite growing awareness and available alternatives, this practice continues to be used in parts of the industry. According to Jeanologia, millions of workers globally are still affected by this process.

     Jeanologia eliminated the need for PP spray in 2015, becoming the first technology provider to offer a scalable industrial alternative through laser-based finishing. Today, the company replaces PP spray through its laser technology with Light Bright tool and combined with G2 Ozone technology, delivering authentic vintage effects without chemical spraying. The solution offers full digital control, safer working conditions and reliable industrial performance.

     This approach is reinforced by Jeanologia’s Environmental Impact Measuring (EIM) platform. In its Innovations and Challenges in Denim Finishing 2024 Report, EIM identifies potassium permanganate as one of the remaining high-risk processes in garment finishing and highlights the urgent need for safer technologies, reinforcing laser-based solutions as a low-impact alternative.

     “PP spray belongs to the past. This is not about compliance; it’s about protecting people and transforming the way denim is made. The tools to eliminate PP already exist and are fully scalable. What the industry needs now is courage to move forward. It’s time to BAN

      PP SPRAY and embrace a cleaner, safer future for denim.” claims Jeanologia’s Global Marketing Director Carmen Silla.

     Over the past decade, Jeanologia has progressively replaced the most hazardous denim finishing processes with eco-efficient technologies, becoming the first company to eliminate sandblasting and to advance alternatives to stone washing, manual scraping and PP spray. Today, its laser and G2 Ozone technologies are implemented worldwide, enabling denim brands to achieve the same aesthetic results while improving worker safety, reducing chemical use and lowering water consumption, with measurable impact across global production.

     As transparency requirements, ESG reporting frameworks and chemical management standards continue to evolve, early adoption of safer technologies is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage. Jeanologia calls on brands, laundries and manufacturers to accelerate the transition toward chemical-free finishing. The technology exists. The transition is achievable. The time to act is now. BAN PP SPRAY is no longer a vision. It is already an industrial reality.
