BL-CH4 Mini

BL-CH4 Mini UAV Methane Detection Sensor

Compact, Dock-Ready Methane Detection for Automated Drone Operations

The BL-CH4 Mini methane sensor is a lightweight UAV-based TDLAS detection payload designed specifically for automated and dock-based drone operations, including DJI Dock 2 deployments. Using Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, the BL-CH4 Mini enables accurate detection and mapping of methane (CH₄) concentrations while maintaining a compact, low-weight form factor compatible with a wide range of commercial drone platforms.

Seamlessly integrated with DJI Dock 2 and compatible with DJI Matrice 3D and 3TD, this methane detection payload significantly reduces inspection costs while improving efficiency for recurring, unattended monitoring missions — enabling scalable, repeatable inspections with minimal human intervention.

BL-CH4 Mini Methane Sensor: Typical Applications

• Environmental monitoring and greenhouse gas emissions detection
• Industrial park and facility inspection
• Oil and gas pipeline leak detection
• Landfill methane monitoring
• Public safety gas leak response
• Recurring autonomous inspection workflows

Built for Automated Dock-Based Inspections

This compact payload is purpose-built for dock-based drone ecosystems, enabling frequent, repeatable methane inspections without on-site pilots. Its small size, low power draw, and seamless DJI Dock 2 compatibility make it an ideal solution for organizations deploying 24/7 autonomous inspection workflows across pipelines, industrial sites, and environmental monitoring areas.
