Advantages

Performs measurements while driving at speeds up to 55 mph (88 km/h)
Survey mains and services with the same drive by
Identifies attributes of emissions sources by measuring methane and ethane simultaneously
Shares survey data with MicroGuard™ to enable pinpointing of leak emissions sources in minutes

ABB’s patented technology uniquely combines high sensitivity and accuracy with ruggedness and reliability.
Reports both methane and ethane simultaneously to eliminate false positives
Ultra-high (single parts-per-billion) precision and sensitivity allows detection of dangerous buried or hidden leaks and from distances up to 600 feet away.
No need for high-pressure gas cylinders on board (in contrast to other laser-based systems).
ABB’s proprietary algorithms (fluid dynamics models) combined with fast flow response yields accurate leak localization and size estimates.
Unparalleled data integrity and cyber security: ABB systems satisfy cyber security requirements and ABB customers own all data.
MobileGuard™ can share data with ABB’s MicroGuard™ to pinpoint leak locations in minutes

Customer owns and always has access to all data
Data securely stored on the analyzer and in the cloud for immediate availability.
Electronic data facilitates compliance reporting and digital workflow
System communicates using 4G wireless technology
Data exportable to Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Intuitive and easy to use user interface
Rich graphical display shows survey route, survey area, emissions indications and source attributes (i.e. Did emissions originate from a natural gas source?).
Records data within two minutes after power on (other methods either require 30-45 minutes to warm up or are over 1000x less sensitive).
Digital reports generated automatically in minutes after each survey.

The unique advantages of the patented OA-ICOS technology make ABB’s gas analyzers the preferred choice.

Highest Precision and Sensitivity - combines rugged, reliable near-IR diode lasers with an optical cavity to yield measurements with the highest precision and sensitivity in a simple, robust package. Allows to detect leaks from further away and to locate hard-to-find small emissions.
Widest Dynamic Range - OA-ICOS provides linear response over a much wider dynamic range than conventional CRDS and TDLAS methods allowing to quantify emissions from small or large leaks.
Best Performance - provides unsurpassed overall performance in every important metric (accuracy, speed, linearity, reliability).
Field Serviceable / Minimal Downtime - designed for ruggedness and reliability, in addition to performance. Overall simplicity allows easy service, if necessary.
Better Value - analyzer performance unaffected by minor shifts in optical alignment enabling the use of simpler components and sub-systems.
Comprehensive Platform - ABB uniquely provides a comprehensive platform of solutions based on OA-ICOS technology designed to address any leak detection application.
