UAV-Mounted Laser Methane Inspection System

UAV-Mounted Laser Methane Inspection System

Product Introduction

Combining UAV technology with laser methane detection to inspect methane leaks efficiently and safely in complex environments.

Inspection Efficiency

The UAV-mounted laser methane inspection system substantially improves inspection speed and accuracy while enhancing operational safety.

Core Technologies

Long Endurance, Automated Inspection

Powered by the TB65 dual-battery system with hot-swap support, the system delivers 55 minutes of flight time – enough to inspect more than 15 km of pipeline network per mission, boosting operational efficiency.

Addressing Inspection Pain Points

Eliminates the “short-range, stop-and-go” limitations by reducing take-offs, landings and manual intervention, achieving seamless pipeline network coverage and effectively lowering costs.

High-Precision Positioning

An integrated high-precision network RTK module with CORS support achieves 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal and 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical positioning. Suspected leak points are reported with centimeter-level coordinates and plotted on high-precision maps, helping repair crews locate leak sources faster and dramatically cutting troubleshooting time.

Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance

Six-direction visual perception fused with infrared sensing and AI delivers all-round obstacle avoidance, responsive in-flight control and automatic return-to-home on signal loss. This ensures flight safety in complex environments, reduces collision risk and forms a safe foundation for automated unmanned inspection.

Smart Cloud Platform

Smart Cloud Platform Technology

A proprietary cloud operating system transmits 2K inspection video and methane data in real time, with built-in AI analytics and one-click leak report generation.

Smart Cloud Platform Value

Automates the data-to-report workflow for efficient processing and informed decision-making, turning data into professional insight.

Flexible Data Storage and Upload Modes

Data Storage Modes

Supports APN private-network dedicated lines for secure data communication, high-speed local storage (≤512 GB), dual-mode image transmission, and compatibility with JPEG, JPG, PNG and MP4.

Data Backhaul Options

In areas with poor signal or high security requirements, data is stored locally first; when the network is available, data is transmitted in real time, supporting remote monitoring and flexible management.

High-Precision Leak Localization

Combines the laser module’s integrated camera with airborne camera imagery to pinpoint leak locations precisely.

Fast Response and Detection

TDLAS technology with a second-harmonic detection algorithm achieves ppm-level detection accuracy with a response time of just 0.01 seconds.

Gimbal Public Address Function (Optional)

Gimbal Public Address Function (Optional)

An integrated high-performance gimbal loudspeaker delivers a broadcast range of 500 m and a sound pressure level of 127 dB, with directional noise-cancelling pickup and IP54 protection.

Aerial Emergency Command

Real-time remote alarm broadcasting for third-party construction and personnel intrusion, extending UAV application scenarios as a mobile safety-warning platform.

Application Scenarios

Oil and Gas Field Inspection

Routine inspection and leak detection for well pads, pipelines, storage tanks and compressor stations.

Urban Gas Network Inspection

Scheduled checks of municipal gas pipeline networks, regulating stations and valve pits.

Environmental Monitoring and Enforcement

Fugitive-emission monitoring at landfills and wastewater treatment plants.

Greenhouse Gas Research

Flux measurement and scientific research applications in research institutions.
