Ascertaining emissions from surface sources or hard-to-reach sources

To carry out air quality measurements and detect, measure and map diffuse emissions, OLFASCAN has a flying lab. By using electrochemical sensors, accurate and precise measurements are taken in difficult-to-reach locations. In addition, the flying lab is used to rapidly diffuse emissions from large areas screening. These measurements allow looking for patterns and hotspots, to carry out more detailed measurements at the selected sites in a subsequent phase.

Detection of leakage flows/leakage currents

Through drone measurements, OLFASCAN can visualise possible leakage flows/leakage currents in various buildings and installations. This involves a thermographic camera being used to detect heat gradients. If there are leakage flows/leakage currents are present, they will be visualised as heat losses. These images can be viewed live during drone flight, to determine on-the-spot leakage flows/leakage currents and allow steps to be taken very quickly already.
