New Gas Leak and Seep Detection Services Using Vehicle Mounted Infra-Red Sensor

Infra-Red Leak Detection System (IR-LDS)





System Benefits
  • Improved system safety and integrity
  • Saves time and money with fast mobile detection
  • Maximizes accuracy with no false positives
  • Simplifies reporting




A snapshot of the Leak Detection System computer screen. The real-time map on the left shows the route the vehicle has taken (green line) and the methane leaks detected by the system (red circles). On the right the methane (red line), hydrocarbon (green line) and CO2 (blue line) concentrations are plotted in real time.

System Features
  • An innovative method for detecting leaks from hydrocarbon liquids and gas pipelines, production and storage facilities, landfills, and coal-seam seeps

  • Measures methane, total hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide simultaneously at sub-ppm concentrations
  • Rapid monitoring rates of 50 samples/second allows fast driving speeds
  • Leak locations determined by GPS and plotted real time
  • Software allows for immediate viewing and processing of data
  • Can be mounted on helicopters or ground vehicles for either aerial or ground leak detection services
