P20 Open-Path Laser Methane Monitoring System

The P20 is a fixed laser methane monitoring system designed for continuous gas leak surveillance across industrial facilities and natural gas infrastructure. Combining TDLAS technology with an automated pan-tilt mechanism, it enables remote methane monitoring across designated areas without relying solely on manual inspections or portable detection equipment.

Designed for unattended operation, the P20 supports automated scanning, leak alerts, and monitoring data management through dedicated software, helping operators maintain a clearer overview of potential gas leak risks.

Automated Pan-Tilt Scanning

The P20 integrates laser detection with a motorized pan-tilt mechanism to scan designated directions and monitoring routes. Operators can configure the inspection area according to site requirements, allowing the system to monitor selected infrastructure and potential leak locations systematically.

Its closed-loop control helps manage scanning movements and supports consistent operation during automated inspection cycles. By combining gas detection and scanning control in one system, the P20 reduces the need for repeated manual adjustment during routine monitoring.

Continuous Methane Leak Surveillance

Designed for continuous operation, the P20 supports ongoing monitoring of methane around gas-related infrastructure and industrial processes. Its automated scanning workflow helps identify potential leak indications and enables operators to respond when monitoring conditions require further investigation.

The system can automatically generate alerts and provide measurement information to a control room through dedicated software, supporting coordinated site monitoring and follow-up actions.

TDLAS Laser Detection Technology

The P20 uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to detect methane through its characteristic optical absorption properties. This laser-based approach enables remote gas measurement along an open optical path, supporting methane surveillance without requiring the detector to be placed directly at the suspected leak source.

The open-path configuration is suitable for monitoring selected areas around pipelines, storage facilities, processing equipment, and other installations where continuous remote observation is important.

Explosion-Protected Design for Industrial Environments

The P20 incorporates an explosion-proof junction box and is designed for deployment in suitable industrial gas monitoring environments. Its fixed installation configuration supports integration into site safety and monitoring arrangements, helping operators observe potential methane leak hazards from a designated location.

The required equipment protection rating and suitability should be confirmed against the applicable hazardous-area classification and certification requirements before installation.

Low-Power Operation and Flexible Connectivity

The P20 is designed to support low-power monitoring and flexible deployment. Its power requirements can accommodate suitable solar-powered supply configurations where site conditions and system design permit.

Network connectivity, including compatible 5G communication, can support the transfer of monitoring information to a backend system. This allows inspection results and alarms to be incorporated into wider remote monitoring and industrial safety workflows.

Simplified Installation and System Recovery

The compact fixed-monitoring design supports installation at suitable observation points around industrial facilities. Automated scanning and inspection recovery functions help reduce routine operator intervention and support continued monitoring after recoverable interruptions.

By combining detection, scanning, alarming, and tracking control, the P20 provides an integrated monitoring solution rather than a standalone laser sensor.

Applications

A Reliable Approach to Continuous Gas Leak Monitoring

The P20 combines open-path laser sensing, automated pan-tilt scanning, alarm management, and remote connectivity in one fixed monitoring system. It helps facilities establish more systematic methane surveillance, improve visibility of potential leak events, and coordinate responses through centralized monitoring software.

For installations that require ongoing remote gas monitoring, the P20 provides a flexible platform for integrating automated detection into industrial safety and asset management workflows.
