NT10i

Car Methane Detection System

The NT10i makes it possible to monitor gas networks along the route of a car equipped with it. The NT10i works with one of the best available and proven technologies. The selective laser measuring cell detects very small concentrations of CH4 in a fraction of a second. Dedicated software with mapping and geolocation functions provides accurate GPS data for each detected gas leak point. The easy-to-use equipment meets all gas operators' requirements for performance, reliability and traceability.

 

MEASUREMENT:

The laser transceiver is tuned to the methane absorption wavelength.

The frequency of the laser is selected so that it does not interfere with propane, butane, hydrogen, car exhaust, water vapor present in the air.

 

Sampling:

A set of hoses mounted on the front of the vehicle draws gas samples from the ground surface into the measuring chamber.

A high-performance suction pump allows gas samples to be transferred to the entrance of the measuring chamber in less than 1s.

The total response time of the measurement system from the moment of sampling to the delivery of the measurement result on the on-board computer screen does not exceed 1.5s

 

SOFTWARE:

Proprietary software automates the measurement process.

The ability to load company maps with gas pipelines plotted on them makes it easy to maneuver the vehicle to get as close as possible to gas pipelines.

Vehicle route control provides maximum inspection coverage and multiplies the possibility of detecting a gas leak.

SAMPLE INTAKE:

8-sekcyjna linia poboru próbek

System components built in for easy access

The sampling system is protected by a hydrophobic filter, blocking the flow of water into the measuring cell

The air flow is verified by a measuring sensor built into the suction line

Once the systems are up and running, a set of self-tests verifies, among other things, the patency of the sampling lines
