GasFinder is a hand portable, battery-powered open path gas monitor
providing one second response and broad dynamic range. GasFinder is
permanently calibrated, small and light (less than 5kg). Alignment is
easy and stable. GasFinder response does not depend on path length, so
a series of paths of different lengths (between 1m and 1000m) can be
measured in quick succession. GasFinder is ideal for short duration
studies and troubleshooting, including safety monitoring during process
unit turnarounds and new construction and commissioning.
Applications
Perimeter and Area Monitoring - GasFinder can be permanently installed
to monitor chemical and petroleum plants for both combustible and toxic
gases. GasFinder can be used to replace arrays of point sensors for
perimeter monitoring. A single light path will replace many point
sensors. With GasFinder perimeter monitoring, all gas dispersed from a
facility is detected and logged.
Emission Measurement - An estimate of the total fugitive emissions from
a site can be determined using environmental data, EPA gas dispersion
models, and GasFinder sensor data.
Portable Leak Detection - GasFinder can be used as a portable open path
gas sensor to survey a large site relatively quickly. Areas of elevated
gas concentration can be bracketed using shorter path lengths in order
to locate leaking valves, flanges or fittings.
