Remote Detection for Increased Safety
The Gas Laser uses highly advanced technology to detect natural gas
plumes from a remote distance. This makes it safer to scan in areas that
may be difficult to reach such as busy roadways, yards with dogs, fenced off
areas, and other hard to access places.
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS)
The Gas Laser employs Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
(TDLAS) technology.
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
conditions, temperature, wind, and leak rate.
Features
The Gas Laser includes many features which reduce costs and improve
usage. These advanced features include, but are not limited to:
- User Interface - highly optimized
for First Responders
- Internal Data Logging
- WiFi
- GPS
- Bluetooth BLE
- Color Camera
- Color Display
- Spotter laser
- Self Test
- Light Weight
- Rechargeable and Replaceable
Battery
- Dual Charger
- Ergonomic Housing
