ABB Ability™ Mobile gas leak detection system
State-of-the-art laser measurement technology for fast and reliable natural gas leak detection
Digital: Detecting, mapping, quantifying and localizing natural gas leak emissions while driving
Innovative: Patented technology with significantly increased sensitivity combined with our software
Unique: Differentiation between natural gas from gas pipelines and natural sources
Detect leaks while driving, at a speed of up to 55mph and from a distance of 150m
Fast, accurate, cost effective. The better vehicle-based survey solution. The ABB Ability™ mobile gas leak detection system uses ABB’s patented laser-based technique which is more than 1000 times more sensitive than older, less sensitive, legacy methods. This enables unambiguous identification of leaks several hundred feet from the source.
The ABB Ability™ mobile gas leak detection system consists of ABB’s LGR-ICOS™ methane/ethane analyzer, a GNNS system, a sonic anemometer and proprietary leak detection software that presents geospatial maps of all measured parameters in real-time. The software’s sophisticated leak detection algorithm combines the system’s measurements of multiple gas concentrations (CH4, C2H6), local coordinates (GNNS) and local wind velocity (sonic anemometer) to estimate the leak’s location and size.
1
The system, consisting of 4 components - ABB-analyzer, software, GPS, sonic anemometer - can be easily mounted on a vehicle
2
Due to the low weight of the analyzer it can also be mounted on a drone. This solution will be available in the future.
3
Graphical display of survey route, survey area and leakage indicators
4
Our laser technology is the most sensitive gas sensor technology on the market
5
Our analyzer is so sensitive that it could detect a leakage the size of a sugar lump in Germany´s biggest lake, Lake Constance
