Remote Methane Leak Detector RMLD Non – Intrinsic Safe ModelIntrinsic Safe Model
BASED ON TDLAS TECHNOLOGY Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) -Every gas absorbs specific wavelengths (frequencies) of light -The RMLD laser beam emits a specific wavelength which is absorbed by methane -The amount of laser light absorbed is proportional to the total amount of gas in the path of the laser beam -Concentration is then expressed as parts-per-million- metered, or “ppm-m”. Concentration times plume width.
TECHNICAL APPROACH Laser light beam is remotely projected on to a target (e.g., grass, wall, etc.) A fraction of the beam is scattered from the target surface and returned to the source Returned light is collected and focused onto a detector The presence of methane is encoded within the returned light Methane readings are displayed in ppm-m Detector Laser DirectSunandAmbient LightAddsDetected BackgroundPhotons LightBecomesElectricity M e t h a n e L e a k TopographicBackscatterof LaserLightandBackground LightCollectedbyReceiver
