MULTIPOINT SENSING FOR METHANE / NATURAL GAS LEAKS

The OptoSniff® system continuously and reliably measures methane / natural gas concentrations from hundreds of sensing points over long distance (up to 20km), intrinsically safe, optical fibre links. It uses innovative laser and fibre optic technology for rugged, multipoint gas leak detection & monitoring and offers significant advantages over alternative CH4 detection technologies.

OptoSniff Instrument

Landfill Sensing

The technology has particular application for multipoint methane detection in:

  • Service Tunnels, Utility Ducts & Subterranean Voids - natural gas (methane) leaks
  • LNG Storage - safety monitoring for gas leaks
  • Mines - safety monitoring for explosive gas build-up
  • Landfill Sites - perimeter monitoring for landfill gas migration
  • Energy from Waste - optimising gas extraction efficiency
  • Brownfield Sites - gas monitoring in voids under buildings
  • Sewage & Water Treatment - environmental gas detection
  • Industrial Process - on-line monitoring & control
  • Environmental - gas emissions & safety monitoring

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Real time monitoring of hundreds of points over long distances
  • Intrinsically safe optical sensing with no spark risk
  • Calibration stable, wide measurement range & no gas cross-sensitivity
  • Reliable long-term operation in harsh environments
  • Continuous self-checking, durability & stability yields low cost of ownership
