BL-CH4 Drone Methane Detector

BL-CH4 UAV Laser Methane Leak Detector

High-Sensitivity Aerial Methane Leak Detection

The BL-CH4 methane detector is a lightweight, high-precision gas detection payload designed for drone-based methane leak inspection. Using TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology, the BL-CH4 enables rapid, non-contact methane detection from the air — even in complex industrial and urban environments where ground-based inspection is impractical or hazardous.

Capable of identifying leaks from up to 300 meters away and concentrations as low as 5 ppm, the BL-CH4 methane detector provides fast, accurate leak localization while keeping personnel safely out of hazardous areas.

BL-CH4 Methane Detector Key Features

Long-Range Detection up to 300 m

Detect methane leaks from distances of up to 300 m — ideal for pipelines, refineries, landfills, and large-scale industrial facilities where close-proximity inspection isn't feasible.

High Sensitivity & Accuracy

Detects methane concentrations as low as 5 ppm with measurement accuracy of ±10% (100–50,000 ppm·m) — providing reliable results across a wide range of leak scenarios.

5 ms Response Speed

A 5 ms response time enables real-time leak detection during active flight, supporting efficient high-throughput inspection missions without slowing down.

Precise Leak Localization

Integrated coordinate tracking provides real-time positioning of detected leak points, simplifying reporting and streamlining follow-up maintenance workflows.

UAV-Optimized Design

Lightweight construction, gimbal stabilization, and standard drone interfaces allow easy integration with a wide range of UAV platforms for flexible deployment across mission types.

Cloud-Based Monitoring

Detection data transmits to the cloud in real time, enabling remote monitoring, instant analysis, and comprehensive mission documentation from any location.

Supported Applications

• Oil and gas pipeline inspection
• Refinery and petrochemical facility monitoring
• Urban natural gas infrastructure surveys
• Industrial parks and utility network inspection
• Landfill methane detection and emissions tracking
• Greenhouse gas emissions monitoring

Why Use Aerial Methane Detection?

• Reduce inspection time and operational downtime significantly
• Improve worker safety by minimizing manual entry into hazardous areas
• Detect leaks earlier and with greater precision than ground-based methods
• Cover large or inaccessible areas efficiently in a single flight
