Locate natural gas leaks with sensitivity, precision and thermogenic vs. biogenic discrimination with the MIRA Pico Mobile LDS, the high-sensitivity natural gas leak detection system from AerisTechnologies, Inc.
The Pico Mobile combines a breakthrough, real-time laser absorption spectrometer with built-in GPS capability to produce the world’s smallest, most powerful leak-mapping tool.
The Pico Mobile LDS operates in the mid-IR, achieving unparalleled, simultaneous methane and ethane sensitivity at the 1ppb/s level.
Natural gas is unambiguously discriminated from other, biogenic sources such as landfill gas, cattle operations, swamp gas, and permafrost. This unique capability provides adiscrimination capability 30 times greater than that of other laser-based analyzers at 1/10th the size, reducing false alarms and enabling accurate ethane/methane ratio data in real-time. Pico Mobile LDS systems provide accurate ethane/methane ratios at levels rivaling mass spectrometric methods, without associated sample handling or consumables.
Key Features:
- Unmatched <1ppb/s sensitivity for CH4 and C2H6
- 30x better ethane sensitivity than competing systems
- Portable, handheld operation- 6 hr. battery
