Accurate gas leak detection using tuneable diode lidar systems

When using spectroscopic diode lidar to detect a gas of interest such as methane (CH4), detecting high concentration pathlength (CPL) values of the gas of interest may not actually indicate a plume or leak. In areas such as a refinery, where ambient gas levels may be routinely high, absorption from ambient gas measured over a long pathlength may produce the same CPL value as a much closer gas leak, leading to a false positive. By collecting and using lidar distance information in tandem with the CPL values determined from the lidar system spectroscopic measurements, the statistical properties of the dataset can be evaluated, and ambient concentrations of the gas estimated. A lidar dataset with revised values of CPL that adjusts for these measurements of ambient concentration may be created to provide better reliability for analysis and in for triggering alarms for potentially dangerous gas concentrations and leaks.
