AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing gas concentration detection devices are inaccurate and provide limited measurements, making it difficult to precisely locate and quantify greenhouse gas emissions, especially from sources that are unchanneled and located in inaccessible places within industrial installations.

Method used

A method involving a drone-mounted measurement assembly that can be reversibly detached for ground measurements, equipped with sensors for gas concentration, position, and environmental data, allowing for high-frequency data collection and mapping to identify and quantify gas emissions.

Benefits of technology

Enables precise localization and quantification of gas emission sources by combining drone-based and ground-level measurements, providing detailed three-dimensional maps for effective emission control.

Abstract

Method for measuring representative data of concentrations of at least one gas present in the ground, drone and associated measuring equipment. This method comprises: - movement along a ground measurement path of an operator and / or a robot carrying a measuring assembly (16) including a support, and, carried by the support, a sensor for measuring representative data of concentrations of at least one gas and a sensor for positioning the measuring assembly (16), and - successive measurements of representative data of concentrations of at least one gas along the measurement path. The method comprises, before ground movement, a reversible removal of the measuring assembly (16) from a drone for measuring representative data of concentrations of at least one gas, and / or after ground movement, reversible re-mounting of the measuring assembly (16) on a drone for measuring representative data of concentrations of at least one gas.
