OPEN PATH TUNABLE DIODE LASER (OP-TDL)
Now well established as a preferred technique for detection of leaks and fugitive emissions of toxic and greenhouse gases.
- Gas-specific: No false alarms
- Area coverage rather than individual points: More reliable leak detection
- Faster response, no “memory” effects
- Laser light not absorbed by water vapor: Enables long paths —500m
- Reliable unattended performance in all climate conditions
- Broader dynamic range: low-end sensitivity detects incipient leaks
- No consumables, no moving parts:Minimal maintenance
- Reduction in O&M needs: Saves money and personnel
