UAV detection of methane is made up of internal sensors

For industries such as natural gas, oil refineries, chemical plants, etc., the risk of methane gas leakage is very high. Conducting pipeline inspections is an effective method to detect leakage. Especially, using drones and installing remote methane sensors can be completed with high efficiency and high precision. Operation. UAV biogas sensor is a lightweight device suitable for unmanned aircraft, which has the characteristics of high sensitivity, fast response speed, low cost, and low operational risk.

As an important life energy, the safety of natural gas is very important. The gas pipelines are long-distance and widely distributed. It is mainly distributed in the underground of cities, along rivers, ditches, roads and roads. Due to the complexity of the terrain, the operation method of manual inspection is limited, which brings inconvenience to the regular inspection of the pipeline.

Safe and prompt inspections are required for every natural gas-powered production facility, power plant and pipeline repair company, and any other company in the natural gas supply chain. Drones have high speed and maneuverability without any miscalculation. This saves time and money while providing security for employees. But to take effectiveness to the next level, drones must be able to transmit data accurately and in real time.

Drone methane monitoring, including natural gas pipeline detection, tank inspection, landfill emissions monitoring, gas well testing, and plant safety audits, is increasingly used in many methane-producing industries.

For industries such as natural gas, oil refineries, chemical plants, etc., BP5723-33 has a high risk of methane gas leakage. Pipeline inspection is an effective method to detect leakage. Get the job done with precision.

Advantages of UAV+ methane sensor.

The UAV+ biogas sensor is a lightweight device suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles, featuring high sensitivity, fast response, low cost, and low operational risk.

The system can detect parameters such as methane gas concentration in different environments, and has the advantages of high precision, fast response speed, reliable operation and low operating cost.

Compared to fixed gas leak detectors, drones are not only more efficient, but also more efficient.

This sensor is only sensitive to methane, so there is no error due to the presence of other gases. In addition, the methane sensor carried by the UAV can penetrate into the small space that the staff cannot enter or the place with high risk index to ensure the personal safety of the staff.

UAV's detection of methane is composed of internal sensors. According to different application environments, sensors with different precision can be carried. Some directly use methane sensors, and some use combustible gas sensors. In short, both sensors can detect methane. In response to this, the mining network has a variety of combustible gas sensors, which can be used in mines, landfills, natural gas pipelines, etc., and directly affect the methane environment. For example, the natural gas sensor TGS2611 of Japan's figaro company, the combustible gas sensor TGS6812 and the British alphasense (CH4) methane sensor CH-A3.

The gas sensor TGS2611 has a high sensitivity to methane gas, and it is an ideal sensor for household gas leak alarm systems because it is sensitive to volatile alcohol (a disturbing gas commonly found in residential environments). Because the size of the sensor is very small, the heater current of TGS2611 is only 56mA, so the detection part of the TGS2611 sensor is put into a standard TO-5 metal package.

TGS2611-C00 is not only small, but also has excellent responsiveness. For gas leak detection, it is a good choice. A filter cover that can eliminate the influence of alcohol and other interfering gases is added to the TGS2611-E00, which is highly sensitive to methane gas.

Figaro Japan catalytic combustion type combustible gas sensor-TGS6812: TGS6812 combustible gas sensor, with high precision, durable and stable, fast response, linear output, can detect 100% LEL grade hydrogen, it is highly sensitive to substances such as methane and LP sex. The TGS6812 has an adsorbent on the cap and has low cross-sensitivity to organic vapors. Moreover, this combustible gas sensor has better silicon resistance and is more suitable for harsh environments.

alphasense UK's alphasense catalytic combustion methane sensor (CH-A3)-CH-A3: Catalytic combustion methane sensor (CH4 sensor) CH-A3 utilizes the thermal effect principle of catalytic combustion, which is composed of a combination of detection elements and compensation elements Measuring the bridge, when encountering a flammable gas like methane, the biogas burns under the action of the detection element carrier surface and the catalyst, so that the carrier temperature rises, and the resistance of the platinum wire through it also rises; in this way, the balance The bridge will be out of balance and the output electrical signal will be proportional to the methane concentration.
