360˚cover with zero contact. Gazoscan offers portable methane emissions detection with unmatched precision

The Gazoscan and Gazoscan Mini use Tunable Diode Laser Technology to provide low maintenance, easy-to-use, detection of methane from a safe distance, with a sensitivity to methane of 5ppm per metre. An operator can stand in a single location and, with a 360˚ view, scan for fugitive surface and penetration emission indications, using a lightweight, intrinsically safe, self-calibrating hand-held instrument.

The Gazoscan range offers a 0.1 second response to detected methane, over an expected 10-year instrument life. User settable audible and vibration alerts allow an operator to quickly scan for methane over a wide area, without having to use a reflector. From gas compression to biogas, fast leak detection means improved safety and environmental impact and increased profitability through reduction of gas loss and tighter management of infrastructure maintenance.
