Overview
The HEATH Remote Methane Leak Detector - Complete Solution (RMLD-CS) is a highly advanced
technology, capable of detecting methane leaks from a remote distance. This technology makes it possible
to detect leaks without having to walk the full length of the pipe line, thus creating safer surveys in areas
that may be difficult to reach such as busy roadways, yards with dogs, fenced off areas, and other hard to
access places.
The RMLD-CS employs the same technology as the field proven legacy RMLD, known as Tunable Diode
Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS). As the laser passes through the gas plume, the methane absorbs a
portion of the light, which the instrument then detects. Based on the local meteorological conditions, a
given amount of gas escaping from the ground will produce a plume that varies in size and uniformity of
concentration levels. The plume, by nature, is variable and dependent on the soil type, moisture,
temperature, wind, venting and leak rate.
The RMLD-CS operates under a variety of field conditions including a wide temperature range, light rain
and fog. Its rugged design will stand up to normal field use and operating conditions. Its sensitivity or
range is not affected by reasonable amounts of dust on the instrument’s win
dow.
The RMLD-CS includes many new features which reduce costs and improve usage. These advanced features
include, but are not limited to:
User Interface
Light-Weight
Internal Data Logging
Rechargeable and Replaceable Battery
Wi-Fi
Dual Bay Charger
GNSS
Mobile App / 3
