Aerial Service UAV Drone Based U10 Remote Laser TDLAS Methane Natural Gas Pipeline Leak Inspection Detector

Description:

Based on TDLAS technology, the high-precision UAV methane emission detection payload weighs no more than 1kg, making it compact, portable, energy-efficient, and durable for UAV or drones.

The U10 is a light-weight, high-sensitivity gas detector based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), which enables rapid identification of methane from up to 150 m away, or at a concentration as low as 3 ppm.m. Powered by DJI SkyPort, the U10 can be seamlessly integrated with DJI Matrice 350 Series platforms.

Use DJI’s leading drone platforms equipped with the U10 to inspect and maintain facilities like Liquid Natural Gas plants, gas storage tanks, and gas pipelines in areas such that are difficult for human operators to access, such as mountains or rivers. With the U10, users can detect and monitor methane leakages accurately to make informed response decisions quickly.

TDLAS Principle:

The Remote laser methane leak monitoring systems work according to the TDLAS principle (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) for the detection of methane. This laser method has the advantage that it is very sensitive at the specific measuring wavelength of methane (λ = 1.65 μm) and has no relevant cross-sensitivities to other gases in the atmosphere, e.g. exhaust gases from other cars.

Key Features:

For DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK

Uses Laser Absorption Spectroscopy

Technical Parameters:

Accurate Results from Afar Distance

Get real-time readings of concentrated methane from up to 150 m away, and adjust the gimbal pitch to pinpoint gas leaks in dangerous or hard-to-reach areas while keeping personnel safe.

Visualize the Detection

The high sensitivity allows detection at a concentration as low as 5ppm.m. Receive concentration data in just 25ms so you can make decisions quickly. Gain an aerial overview of the suspected leakage site through the 720p visual camera.

Automated Workflows

Plan flight missions, view flight paths, monitor gas concentration levels and historical trends in real-time, flag specific points along the flight route for abnormalities, and generate inspection reports – all through the ADA application.

Ideal Uses:

·Natural gas pipeline inspections

·Landfill and biogas facility monitoring

·Urban utility infrastructure surveys

·Emergency response for gas leak detection

·Industrial facility safety inspections
