Optical Methane Detector (OMD)

Key Product Features

  • Infrared technology
  • Sensitive to 1 ppm methane
  • Very high survey speeds (to 50 kph)
  • No pumps or calibration gases
  • Global Positioning (GPS) option

The vehicle mounted Optical Methane Detector *TM uses infra-red technology to specifically detect methane gas leaks down to levels of 1ppm without cross interference to other hydrocarbons.

The OMD allows surveying of large areas to be undertaken in a fraction of the time of a vehicle survey using conventional FIM’s due to the higher ground speeds.

The "Eagle Eye" GPS software enables pinpoint mapping and recording of leaks reducing unnecessary storage of hard copy data.
