The GLA131-GGA begin recording data within 20 seconds after power-on so users do not have to wait for a long warm-up period for the system to thermally equilibrate.
ABB’s patented OA-ICOS technology, a fourth-generation cavity-enhanced absorption technique, has many advantages over older, conventional and delicate cavity ringdown spectroscopy and direct absorption techniques. LGR-ICOS analyzers are easier to operate and more robust, thus providing users with higher performance and reliability at lower operating costs.
The GLA131-GGA analyzer have an internal computer that can store data practically indefinitely on an SD card and send real-time data to a tablet, smartphone or other WiFi device. The analyzer includes control and analysis software.
UAV-based methane measurement at a fracking site
Explore ABB's laser-based analyzers, the Microportable Greenhouse Gas Analyzer GLA131-GGA (MGGA) and UAV-based Greenhouse Gas Analyzer GLA133-GGA (pMGGA), for monitoring methane emissions from shale gas extraction sites. A study at the UK’s Little Plumpton fracking site used UAVs equipped with these analyzers to map methane emissions. UAVs, combined with near-field Gaussian Plume Inversion (NGI) for flux analysis and supported by wind vector data, provided efficient, three-dimensional emission mapping. This approach illustrates how ABB’s technologies enhance flexibility and accuracy in environmental emissions monitoring.
