Millennium Project Number: M-2002-002
Project Title: Portable Methane Detector
Project Start Date: 2002
Projected End Date: NA
Technical Details:
Flame ionization detection is commonly used by utility survey crews for leak surveys. An alternate technology, optical methane detection, has been developed and commercialized for vehicle-based leak survey operations. This project will develop and field test a prototype of a low power hand held methane detector. The project goals were met, and further development of the device is funded through the OTD program.
