Senscient Enhanced Laser Diode Spectroscopy Open Path Detector


Senscient ELDS™ Series 1000 CH4 Methane OPGD Detector

  • Reliable, open path detection of methane at levels low enough to provide early warning for leakage of this highly flammable gas. Detection Limits for methane leak detection are orders of magnitude lower than any other OPGD product.
  • No false alarms from any other hydrocarbon gases including diesel fumes or oil mist.
  • True ease-of-installation, with vibration and misalignment tolerant optics.
  • SimuGas™ feature provides ability to accomplish on-demand, remote functionality testing right from the control room or PLC!
    Applications:
    Offshore Platforms, FPSO's, Onshore Petrochemical facilities and Refineries.

    Theory of Operation:
    Using a separate transmitter and receiver configuration, Senscient ELDS™ Series 1000 CH4 Methane OPGD systems can detect and measure methane over distances between 5 and 200 m. The ELDS technique measures the Harmonic Fingerprint introduced onto the transmitter's laser beam(s) by absorption by any target gas in the monitored path.
  • Senscient ELDS™ Series 1000 XD Cross-Duct & HVAC OPGD Detector

    Senscient ELDS™ Series 1000 XD Cross-Duct & HVAC Features / Benefits:

  • Reliable, rapid detection of methane at the lowest levels required for cross-duct and HVAC applications.
  • 100% continuous measurement of the amount of gas in the duct enables rapid detection of gas without the false-alarms associated with systems that make measurement flashes just a few times a second.
  • Fully heated optics and no retroreflector means no problems with condensation or hoar frost.
  • No false alarms from any other hydrocarbon gases including diesel fumes or oil mist.
  • True ease-of-installation, with vibration and misalignment tolerant optics.
  • SimuGas™ feature provides ability to accomplish on-demand, remote functionality testing right from the control room or PLC.

    Applications:
    HVAC ducts, turbine inlets, turbine acoustic enclosures.

    Theory of Operation:
    Using a separate transmitter and receiver configuration, Senscient ELDS™ 1000 Series OPGD systems can detect and measure methane in ducts between 0.5m and 5m wide. The ELDS technique measures the Harmonic Fingerprint introduced onto the transmitter's laser beam(s) by absorption by any target gas in the unit's path.

  • Senscient ELDS™ Series 2000 H2S Hydrogen Sulfide OPGD Detector

    Senscient ELDS™ Series 2000 H2S Features / Benefits:

  • Reliable, open path detection of hydrogen sulfide at levels low enough to protect personnel from the toxic hazard.
  • Faster response than any other hydrogen sulfide detection technology.
  • No need to replace or re-calibrate sensors.
  • True ease-of-installation, with vibration and misalignment tolerant optics.
  • SimuGas™ feature provides ability to accomplish on-demand, remote functionality testing right from the control room or PLC!

    Applications:
    Offshore Platforms, FPSO’s, Onshore Petrochemical facilities and Refineries.

    Theory of Operation:
    Using a separate transmitter and receiver configuration, Senscient ELDS™ Series 2000 H2S Hydrogen Sulfide OPGD systems can detect and measure hydrogen sulfide over distances between 5 and 40 m. The ELDS technique measures the Harmonic Fingerprint introduced onto the transmitter’s laser beam(s) by absorption by any target gas in the monitored path.

  • Senscient ELDS™ 2000 Series 2000 H2S+CH4 Simultaneous Methane & Hydrogen Sulfide OPGD Detector

    Senscient ELDS™ Series 2000 H2S+CH4 Features / Benefits:

    In the vast majority of instances, hydrogen sulfide is found as a component of the solution gas or natural gas present at the facility, intimately mixed with predominantly methane. When solution gas or natural gas containing hydrogen sulfide leaks, its components do not separate regardless of the density of the individual gases. It remains intimately mixed and the hydrogen sulfide follows the same leak path as the rest of the gas.
