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.
LGR-ICOS™ GLA131-GGA & GLA131-GPC Greenhouse gas analyzers - Microportable
The ABB LGR-ICOS gas analyzers build on the heritage and extensive track record of Los Gatos Research analyzers, using patented Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) technology, the latest evolution in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. ABB’s new microportable gas analyzers (GLA131-GGA and GLA131-GPC) report measurements of methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor simultaneously in a package that is compact, crushproof, and travels anywhere. Outlined in this application note, are the key features and benefits of the new range of ABB gas analyzers.
Cutting-edge gas analysis tools for safe pipelines, plants and city distribution grids
In this video, Ed Orr, Industry Manager Semicon and OEM, ABB, discusses the importance of effective gas leak detection for public safety and showcases two of its leading bench products. In the interview filmed at Pittcon 2020, Orr outlines the advantages of ABB's ICOS battery-powered laser-based spectrometer for reliable methane analysis. Describing the detector as extremely sensitive, lightweight and robust, he explains how it can be carried by hand, driven around or even attached to a drone. Orr also reveals why ABB's general-purpose MB3000 FT-IR Laboratory Analyzer is exceptionally convenient to implement, update and maintain.
