What Process Vision does
Process Vision Ltd, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Basingstoke, UK, develops real-time in-pipe visual monitoring systems for the natural gas industry. The company's core technology is the LineVu patented camera system, which is permanently or temporarily installed on high-pressure gas pipelines to provide continuous live video streaming of gas flow. Patented image processing algorithms detect liquid carryover, mist, hydrates, wax, and contamination events that traditional hydrocarbon dewpoint analyzers and gas chromatography typically miss due to phase disequilibrium. The system is ATEX, IECEx, and CSA certified for hazardous-area deployment.
The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales (UK and US offices) with a global channel partner network spanning 40+ countries. Revenue streams include capital equipment sales of permanent LineVu hardware (flanged LineVu 110 and threaded LineVu 300 variants), short-term Liquid Carryover Studies using the portable LineVu Discovery system, managed inspection services via the InSight snake robot, and recurring software/analytics access including the PhaseVu AI diagnostic layer (launched March 2026). Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers; a 4-week study is offered in lieu of a free trial. Customers are predominantly enterprise oil and gas operators, transmission system operators (e.g., National Grid), and midstream processors (e.g., TC Energy), with emerging applications in CCS, hydrogen, and LNG.
The company is founder-led by Paul Stockwell (formerly founder of International Moisture Analysers), has approximately 10 employees on the leadership roster, and has raised $1.83M from Henley Business Angels (2022). The company is explicitly seeking investment and describes its strategy as high-growth, disruptive technology deployment with profits re-invested into the business.

Process Vision product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Process Vision designs, manufactures, and sells the patented LineVu in-pipe camera system that provides continuous real-time video monitoring of liquid carryover, mist, hydrate, wax, and contamination inside high-pressure natural gas pipelines. The company also offers the LineVu Discovery portable system for temporary Liquid Carryover Studies, the InSight snake robot for in-pipeline inspection and fouling removal, an Ethernet Extender for hazardous-area networking, and Bespoke Systems / CNC Machining services. The offering is targeted at oil and gas operators (upstream, midstream, downstream), transmission system operators, LNG, hydrogen, and CCS infrastructure.
Product overview
Process Vision offers a portfolio of pipeline monitoring and inspection products centered on its patented LineVu camera technology. The core product LineVu provides continuous in-pipe visual monitoring for liquid carryover detection in high-pressure natural gas systems. LineVu is available in two hardware configurations: the threaded LineVu 300 for rapid temporary installation and the flanged LineVu 110 for permanent high-pressure applications. LineVu Discovery provides a portable study service for temporary liquid carryover analysis. Complementing LineVu, the InSight snake robot enables internal pipeline inspection and fouling removal without shutdown. Supporting products include the Ethernet Extender for hazardous area network extension, Bespoke Systems for custom engineering solutions, and CNC Machining services for precision component manufacturing. The company also develops PhaseVu AI, a machine learning diagnostic layer that correlates camera data with process variables.

Process Vision competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Honeywell Process Solutions: Provides connected plant, process control, and gas analysis solutions for oil and gas operators. Broad incumbent comparable through its gas quality analyzers and pipeline monitoring portfolio, though Honeywell's offering is part of a much wider process automation suite.
- Siemens Energy: Offers pipeline solutions, compressor packages, and digital asset monitoring for oil and gas operators globally. Comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping pipeline integrity, compression, and digital monitoring capabilities, particularly relevant to Process Vision's turbine and compressor protection value proposition.
- Baker Hughes: Provides oilfield services, turbomachinery, and digital solutions (including flow assurance and asset monitoring) for upstream, midstream, and downstream operators. Broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities in production and pipeline monitoring, particularly relevant to the compressor and process protection segment Process Vision addresses.
- Emerson (Roxar/Rosemount): Offers measurement, instrumentation, and flow assurance solutions (Roxar) plus process analyzers (Rosemount) widely deployed in gas processing and pipelines. A broad incumbent with overlapping pipeline integrity and process monitoring capabilities, but operating across many segments beyond Process Vision's specialized niche.
- Endress+Hauser: Leading global manufacturer of industrial process instrumentation, including flow, level, pressure, and analytical measurement for oil and gas. Comparable as a broad instrumentation incumbent serving gas processing customers, with overlap at custody transfer and gas quality measurement points.
- Yokogawa Electric: Provides process control, safety instrumentation, and analytical solutions for oil and gas, including gas chromatographs and process analyzers. Broad incumbent comparable through gas quality analyzers used in transmission and processing; competes for the same analyzer replacement spend at TSOs.
Direct peers
- T.D. Williamson: Global provider of pipeline integrity solutions including hot tapping, plugging, and inline inspection (ILI). Most directly comparable to Process Vision in addressing high-pressure pipeline integrity and inspection for oil and gas operators, though T.D. Williamson focuses on mechanical/ILI approaches rather than in-pipe visual monitoring.
- Rosen Group (Rosen RoInspect): Provides pipeline inspection, integrity assessment, and cleaning services globally. Directly comparable in serving pipeline operators with integrity and inspection offerings; Process Vision competes for the same inspection and condition-monitoring budget at TSOs and midstream operators.
- NDT Global: Specializes in ultrasonic and electromagnetic inline inspection services for oil and gas pipelines. Comparable as a pipeline inspection/condition assessment peer, though NDT Global focuses on in-line tool-based inspection whereas Process Vision offers permanent in-pipe visual monitoring.
Emerging players
- CiDRA (NOV): Provides flow assurance and production monitoring sensors for oil and gas, including sand and acoustic monitoring. Comparable as a niche player offering specialized real-time pipeline monitoring instrumentation for upstream/midstream operators, though CiDRA focuses on acoustic rather than visual detection.
