Powerful Solution for Network Gas Leak Inspections
Building on over forty years of experience in gas leak detection, GAZOMAT™ (France) , a T.D. Williamson company, has developed a methane analyser dedicated to natural gas network inspections, that integrates the company’s exclusive INSPECTRA®
laser system. The patented
measurement system uses high-tech laser diode spectroscopy technology with a multipass cell to offer an unsurpassed performance.
INSPECTRA®
with accessories Combination of both technologies ensures :
• Complete selectivity to methane. Totally unaffected by other hydrocarbons or chemicals, the system measures methane only. False alarms are thus eliminated.
• A highly sensitive system with a measurement dynamic range extending from below 1 ppm to 100% gas volume. This unique feature enables the INSPECTRA®
to cover the entire field detection process including leak detection, location and quantification, which used to require several devices.
• A short response time ensuring efficient measurements for immediate reaction.
Lightweight and small in size, the system comes with various accessories and different configurations.
Rugged, easily portable with carrying straps, the INSPECTRA® Laser detector has been
developed to improve on-foot gas leak detection of natural gas distribution networks, although it has many applications, for example monitoring of natural gas compression plants, methanation plants, landfills or in laboratories. Available in an ATEX version, it can be safely used in explosive atmospheres both indoors and outdoors.
The INSPECTRA® Laser portable detector has been designed to improve overall survey
performance. It features class-leading start-up and reaction times, which coupled with long autonomy and an extended temperature range, maximises the efficiency of inspections. It has been designed to be natural to use correctly even with limited training, through the application of a user-friendly and ergonomic interface and automatic calibration and ranging of the sensor. A series of useful accessories add to the usability. Once integrated into a vehicle, the INSPECTRA®
Laser system permits operation as a
Network Survey Vehicle, making it possible to survey gas distribution networks at up to 40 km/hr. The robust GAZOMAT vehicle equipment ensures faster and more cost-effective surveys, while still providing the same measuring performance. Through its dedication to constant innovation in the service of the customer, GAZOMAT™ now offers a complete set of complementary tools to its INSPECTRA®
analyser. These
extend the system capability for the benefit of the leak survey operators, including introducing wireless communication and GPS location, resulting in a brand-new generation of intelligent gas leak survey systems.

with operator and survey vehicle
Fully Modular Natural Gas Detection System to Satisfy any Network Survey Requirement now made even more user-friendly
As new safety regulations in Europe and the rest of the world put gas companies under an increasing obligation to guarantee traceability of their surveys by providing precise location and dating, GAZOMAT™
has responded by launching the NGS Network Survey software.
This provides precise location and dating of the gas concentrations measured, for any gas transmission and distribution network.
In conjunction with the INSPECTRA® Laser measurement system, the NGS software provides:
1. A GPS mapping system – the software integrates a GPS type map which gas companies can supplement further with building or pipeline network maps in SHAPE format, a standard format used world-wide.
2. A GPS receiver offering a high quality coverage.
3. Real-time visualization of the operator’s position and of the survey’s progress on the downloaded road map as well as any gas concentration detected.
4. Permanent saving of key survey data such as concentrations measured, their associated GPS coordinates, their precise address on the map, date and time and any comment entered by the operator.
5. An interactive and simplified interface with the operator: pop-up windows and easy-to- understand graphic symbols guide the operator throughout the process.
6. Saved survey data are fully secured: once recorded into the system, they are no longer modifiable.
7. A final survey report in PDF format compiling the information on the survey as well as all events recorded during the operation plus functional tests of the measurement equipment.
8. A multilingual system that can be used worldwide.
Thanks to the NGS software’s extreme ease-of-use and powerful functions, GAZOMAT™ now offers the NGS software for installation not only on a laptop or PC but also on a rugged tablet, which ensures improved portability, simplicity and flexibility in use for operators.
