Air Detection and Ranging
Total hydrocarbons
Methane (CH4)
Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX)
1,3-Butadiene (C4H6)
Ethylene oxide (C2H4O)
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
Mercaptans
Airdar is capable of measuring any compound for which there is a detector.
How It Works
1. Visualizes a plume in data
2. Finds the direction of the source
3. Triangulates from multiple sampling points
4. Quantifies emissions once distance to source is known

Airdar Analysis™
An Airdar Analysis™ uses emissions monitoring data to provide actionable information on emission sources both on- and off-site. After a baseline has been established, the most important emission sources can be located and quantified. On-site emission sources have been located within as few as 3 to 4 m, while off-site emissions have been identified from as far as 22 km away.
One or more compounds can be monitored at the same time. We offer one-time projects or long-term emissions monitoring with real-time notifications about emission rates, Real-Time Airdar™.
An Airdar Analysis™ can be done using data generated by an Airdar Equipment Package, or using data provided by the client (including historical data).
Equipment Packages
Emission monitoring equipment can be provided to clients to monitor and measure their emissions. Each equipment package consists of off-the-shelf detectors and a wind monitor. A traditional Airdar equipment package includes a central instrumentation cabinet connected to remote sampling locations via tubing and can monitor several compounds. For methane monitoring, a small stand-alone sensor with a low detection limit can be offered as a low-cost solution for continuous methane emissions monitoring.
Airdar equipment packages can be rented or purchased by the client. Alternatively, the Airdar system can be implemented using existing equipment on a site, if minimum requirements are met.
