INNOVIDEA proposes the Pergam Class 1 Laser Falcon "eyesafe" which allows the detection and quantification of methane (CH4) leaks in ppmxm at a distance of typically 30 to 50 meters and for detection limits of 1 to 150 000ppmxm. Self-calibrated thanks to a reference cell, it outputs data in real time via a USB in RS232C
The FALCON Laser embarkable on drone is specially designed for the search of methane leaks in various industrial sectors (oil and gas, biogas, landfill, sewage sludge).
Its main characteristics are:
- a detection speed of 0.1s (sampling at 2Hz - 5 measurements per point),
- operating temperature from -15 to +50°C.
- electrical power 7,5W (5VDC)
- dimensions: 100x82,5x80 mm
The Falcon is proposed as a kit including the sensor with a Mini-PC, a GPS receiver and a software allowing data recording on SD card and data transmission (including GPS coordinates and clock) via HDMI. The user can then superimpose the recordings made in flight of the concentration of methane detected on a Google Maps type map in order to make his report with an accurate map of emissions.
Its weight of 250g (450g for the kit), it is particularly suitable for robotic platforms, especially those of the multicopter drone type.
