Webinar: Single-blind determination of methane detection limits using Telops’ airborne
infrared hyperspectral imager

Thursday, February 8, 2024 - 11:00 am CST

Free to attend | Live Q&A | All registrants will receive recording and presentation

About the webinar

Telops’ Hyper-Cam Airborne Mini is an aircraft-based remote sensing system to detect and quantify methane emissions. The system is based on thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging technology. The performance of the system was recently evaluated in a single-blind controlled methane release experiment in partnership with Alberta Methane Emissions Program (AMEP) and LiDAR Services International (LSI). Join Field Application Engineer Jean-Philippe Gagnon, and LSI's VP of Sales, Jim Cormack, for an in-depth look into the operating principles of Telops’ Methane Airborne Detection Solution as well as an overview of obtained results and assessed methane detection limits for a wide range of atmospheric conditions and gas release rates.

Performance accuracy parameters:

  • Leak flow (Kg/h)
  • Weather conditions
  • Flight parameters
