The ABB Ability™ natural gas leak detection service is a cost- effective solution with the ability to locate leaks more easily at lower costs, resulting in more efficient repair and lower overall emissions for the customer.

ABB does the work to help customers find leaks … fast

• The ABB Service engineer conducts the site survey for the customer, saving time and money.
• Customers choose the survey service program that works best for their needs
• Customers can choose the threshold of leak detection
• Customers own and have access to all of the site survey data

Robust, proven technology

• ABB’s patented OA-ICOSTM technology is the  only system that measures methane and ethane so it knows if it is industrial gas or naturally occurring methane
• Analyzer reports both methane and ethane to eliminate false positives and increase attribution rate
• Leak surveys can be performed while driving at speeds up to 55 mph
• Single parts per billion (ppb) sensitivity allows the system to detect leaks up to 600 feet away
• Fastest operating speed of 5Hz increases accuracy of estimation of plume size, distance to leak and leak size

Data delivered immediately 

• Data is stored on the analyzer and in the cloud, and is immediately available to the customer
• ABB provides PDF of results and all raw data files
• Electronic data facilitates compliance reporting and creation of digitized workflow
• Data is cybersecure and exportable to GIS system
