As you have learned, methane gas detection is a primary concern in landfill operations due to the risks posed to workers and the surrounding environment.  It is vital to achieve highly accurate measurements of methane because of migration, leakage or build-up.   Also of primary importance is being able to get close enough to accurately detect landfill gas without putting workers in harm’s way.

BPA’s new Laser Methane Handheld Remote Gas Detector provides accurate methane survey’s without requiring direct contact with methane gas, allowing detection from a safe distance.

The intelligently designed Laser Methane is very selective and doesn’t present false readings, even with other gases present.  This precision device can detect methane at concentrations between 10-10,000 ppm-m up to almost 500 feet away in less than 0.1 seconds!  This versatile unit can also be fixed in a permanent location to monitor a given area. 

The Laser Methane is lightweight, compact, portable and easy to carry and operate because the device comprises a single gun unit without additional parts or battery packs.  There is a built-in test cell which self-tests the gas leak detector when switched on and during use.

Features of the Laser Methane Include:

• Lightning fast gas detection - as fast as 0.1 seconds
• 20 times faster than FID technology
• Lightweight & compact - needs no separate black box or battery
• Responds to methane when other gases are present
• Simple to read LED output for methane detection
• Built in memory for data storage
• SD memory card available

When methane is detected, the Laser Methane basic unit’s LED light gives visual signals and the buzzer provides an audible alarm.  The Laser Methane Portable Gas Monitor also offers an upgrade option that displays actual gas readings in a graphical format that can be saved to a built-in SD memory card and downloaded to a PC. 

Keep your landfill operation safe from methane gas with BPA’s new line of Laser Methane gas detectors.
