Laser Methane Sensor

Laser Methane Detector


Laser Methane Sensor

OTECH AERIAL DRONE SERVICES, Inc. is a FAA licensed and insured company. We offer leak detection and emission monitoring, natural gas line surveys, tank inspections, inspections of pipes under bridges, landfill emission monitoring, gas well testing, plant safety audits. The sensor is only sensitive for methane. Due to this, there are no false readings. The working principle:

  • If there is methane gas present along the laser path, the laser light is partially absorbed
  • An algorithm calculates the gas concentration in ppm*m (parts per million multiplied by meter)
  • Target Gas includes Methane (CH4) and methane containing gases (natural gas and similar)
