Optical Gas Measurement
Simultaneous CH₄ and C₂H₆ monitoring via open-path Mid-IR TDLAS. The manufacturer states resolution at the ppb level.
Advanced Mobile Leak Detection
Monitor Methane and Ethane Simultaneously
Discover AMLD is an advanced mobile leak survey system that simultaneously monitors methane and ethane using mid-infrared TDLAS across a vehicle-mounted open fixed optical path. It supports field evaluation with gas concentration, positioning, and wind data.
The ethane indication provides auxiliary data to distinguish natural gas pipeline methane from biogenic methane. Findings are evaluated in conjunction with field confirmation procedures.

Positioning and Wind
GPS and anemometer assist in interpreting measurement data in conjunction with position and wind parameters.
Tablet and Software
Measurement tracking via wireless tablet; field record evaluation using software data management and reporting tools.
Technical Architecture and Vehicle Installation
Front mounting and roof-rack compatibility must be checked against the vehicle make, model, and year. The same mounting hardware is not universally suitable for every vehicle; installation should be planned using the manufacturer's vehicle selection guide.

| Auxiliary components | GPS, anemometer, tablet, and software |
| Gas unit mounting | Front mount / base plate / grille mount options on compatible vehicles |
| Top mounting | Suitable roof-rack mount for GPS and anemometer |
| Configuration | Determined by vehicle model, survey mission, route characteristics, and data management requirements |
Application Areas
It can be deployed for mobile survey of natural gas distribution networks, emissions reduction programmes, and investigating super-emitter sources. Vehicle and system configurations are evaluated jointly for urban, rural, or off-road survey routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which gases does Discover AMLD monitor?
The system monitors methane and ethane simultaneously. Ethane data supports field discrimination between pipeline gas and biogenic methane sources.
Why is vehicle selection critical?
Front mounting of the gas measurement unit and roof attachments for GPS and anemometer must be verified based on vehicle make, model, and year. Compatible hardware is identified via the manufacturer's guide.
Does it use the same measurement principle as the DP-IR+?
Discover AMLD monitors methane and ethane simultaneously using Mid-IR TDLAS across an open-air fixed optical path. DP-IR+ is a distinct instrument based on extractive sampling and infrared methane detection.
What information is required for a quotation from NOVEL?
