High Resolution Methane Detection with DJI Dock 2

Methane detection is critical for both environmental and industrial safety. The Sniffer4D Nano2 Multi-path TDLAS Hyper-local Methane Detection & Mapping System, integrating seamlessly with the DJI Dock 2, revolutionises this process with its advanced Tuneable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology.


What is the Sniffer4D Nano2 TDLAS?

The Sniffer4D Nano2 TDLAS is compact and ultra-lightweight, weighing in at just at 200 grams, making it suitable for use with DJI M3D/M3TD drones. It connects to the DJI M3D/M3TD’s E-port for power and supports data display via DJI FlightHub 2 or Sniffer4D Mapper for more in depth analysis. Supporting a range of 0~10000ppm, 1ppm resolution and thanks to its advanced multi-path TDLAS detection technology, the Sniffer4D Nano2 TDLAS excels in high-precision methane detection. Other gases are detectable by the Sniffer4D Base Unit which can be calibrated for a wide array of parameters.

The Power of TDLAS

TDLAS technology offers high-resolution methane measurement, detecting concentrations as low as 1 ppm. This precision is vital for early leak detection, essential in industries like oil and gas, landfill inspections, and hazardous material (HazMat) response. The Sniffer4D Nano2’s multi-path TDLAS technology ensures accurate and reliable methane detection, enhancing safety and environmental monitoring.
Pairing the Sniffer4D Nano2 TDLAS with the DJI Dock 2 brings automation to methane detection. This integration allows for the creation of automated, scheduled, and repeatable missions, significantly improving efficiency and consistency in monitoring efforts.

Scheduled Missions:

The DJI Dock 2 can deploy the Sniffer4D Nano2 at pre-set intervals, ensuring continuous and regular methane monitoring. This feature is essential for maintaining compliance with environmental regulations and proactive infrastructure management.

Repeatable Missions:

The ability to execute repeatable missions with high precision ensures the consistency and reliability of collected data. This repeatability is crucial for trend analysis and identifying gradual changes in methane levels over time.

Automated Operations: 

Automation minimises human intervention, reducing the risk of human error and enhancing safety. The Sniffer4D Nano2, when deployed by drones, can operate in remote environments, providing real-time data without putting personnel at risk.

Combine Mission Deliverables:

The DJI Dock 2 and Sniffer 4D Nano2 paired with either the Matrice 3D or Matrice 3TD allows for Methane detection and mapping throughout other planned missions, such as regular mapping missions, security patrols etc.


In Summary

The integration of Sniffer4D Nano2’s TDLAS technology with the DJI Dock 2 offers a comprehensive solution for methane detection. This combination enhances safety through early leak detection and improves efficiency through automation. Embracing this technology represents a significant step forward in mitigating methane emissions and ensuring a safer, more sustainable environment.
