The new Remote Methane Leak Detector – Complete Solution (RMLD-CS) from Heath Consultants offers considerable productivity gains, increased safety and time-savings.
Remote detection enables first responders and utility services personnel to rapidly scan a region for suspected gas leaks at a safe and remote distance.
The RMLD-CS is also a highly sophisticated technology. It uses the same tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology to detect methane leaks even from a remote distance as the present RMLD version.
The RMLD-CS instrument removes the individual receiver and transceiver, integrating them into a single hand-held instrument that is portable, lightweight and rugged for the field. It allows users to detect leaks without having to travel the whole length of the pipeline, thereby creating safer surveys in hard-to-reach regions, like fenced-off areas, busy roadways, yards with dogs, and similar places that are difficult to access.

Heath Consultants was the first to launch a sophisticated methane leak detector based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), leading to scores of legacy units across the world.
The RMLD-IS is a legacy instrument, with thousands of units sold around the world. It contains a couple of interactive components a signal processing/user interface controller and a transceiver subsystem.
Both the Remote Methane Leak Detector – First Responder (RMLD-FR) and the Remote Methane Leak Detector – Complete Solution (RMLD-CS) avoid the need for the individual receiver and transceiver, integrating them into a single hand-held instrument that is portable, lightweight, and rugged for field applications.
