LASER SYSTEM FOR DETECTING METHANE LEAKS ALONG TRANSPORT PIPELINES AND STORAGE AREAS

ALMA G5 is based on the utilization of laser absorption spectrophotometer of methane gas for gas mesurement. The system detects natural gas leaks by emitting a laser at a particular wavelength and analyzing the light reflection from an object to determine how much was absorbed by the methane in the natural gas. The measured gas volume is expressed by methane column density (ppm × m): methane density (ppm) multiplied by length (m).

ALMA G5 features

• Airborne device mounted on helicopters and fixed wing aircrafts;
• Full automation;
• Detects faster than conventional method (detection speed: 0.1 sec);
• Methane-only sensitivity. No false alarm;
• User-friendly software;
• Automatic and continuously performs self-check to ensure ability to detect gas;
• Pilot camera and monitor to aim laser;
• Each leak detection is reported with time, gas concentration, GPS coordinates and 4K image.

Laser Falcon G2 is a very lightweight laser-type methane gas detector which uses the same measurement principle as the popular Laser Falcon. The dramatically reduced weight of the product allows a variety of new applications of the device including airborne methane monitoring and robotic instrumentation. Measurement data is sent through a communication port and is backed up in a USB stick. Power supply through the external power connector enables continuous operation of the device.

Laser Falcon G2 is based on the utilization of laser absorption spectrophoto-meter of methane gas for gas mesurement.

Features and Benefits

• Track the inspected route with coordinates and gas concentration
• On-line (in-flight) data transmission to the drone operator’s console — through the standard DJI communication line
• Easy data export for reporting
• Eye-safe Class 1 and 3a laser
• Automatic time synchronization by GPS / GLONASS. Report created with all necessary information (time, leak concentration, GPS coordinates, maps)
• Maximum flexibility to install on any type of UAV

Remote Laser Methane Detector for professional UAVs. The most notable advantage of this new generation LMF G2 is its two-axis gyro stabilization system, which greatly enhances the sensor's stability and maneuverability. LMF may be applied for remote monitoring of natural gas pipelines including other gas facilities where leaks may be suspected.

Features and Benefits

• Full automation
• Detects faster than conventional method (detection speed: 0.1sec)
• Methane-only sensitivity; no false reports
• User-friendly software
• Archives data for the entire period of operation
• Automatic calibration and self-check during the operation
• The Optical Unit (OU) of the LMF G2 detector is installed on a gyro stabilized platform so that the laser beam is continuously directed towards pipelines and other natural gas facilities.
