LEAKOGRAPHY Project: Avolta50 sensors installed at methanization facility

Discover how the Leakography project (Fuitographie in French) is revolutionizing biogas facility safety at the Chand'Energie methanization site in Vandeins, France. By installing cutting-edge Avolta 50 methane gas detectors, capable of detecting low concentrations, we’ve identified leak risks in areas like pipes, gasometers, and purification systems. This initiative ensures enhanced safety, optimized emissions management, and improved performance for biogas operations.

Whitepaper - Open field CH4 leak detection

Whitepaper - Open field CH4 leak detection

The primary aim of the whitepaper is to present eLichens' advancements in methane (ch4) leak detection and monitoring technology, focusing on outdoor testing of our sensor, designed to identify and monitor leaks in real-time in open-field conditions. It outlines the experimental approach for testing first a 10 ppm methane sensor prototype, highlighting its significance for industries looking to monitor and control methane emissions more effectively. This study takes place in the scope of the project fuitographie that eLichens conducts with its partners CEA-Leti and GRDF. Download below the study.
