▪ Infrared technology

▪ Mobile leak detection at increased speeds

▪ No sampling system

▪ Operates in a variety of environmental conditions

▪ Field tests have resulted in up to 50% increased productivity

OMD Overview

▪ The OMD is mounted to the front of a survey vehicle.

▪ A wide spectrum light source shines across the front of the vehicle.

▪ An optical filter transmits primarily methane specific IR wavelengths from the light source. If methane is present a signal will be displayed and an audio alarm will sound.

▪ All advantages of conventional TDLAS, with increased sensitivity (ppb) and dynamic range

Methane/Ethane AnalyzerPerformance

Feature Specification Advantage

Highly SensitiveMethane: 2 ppbEthane: 10 ppb

Observe and attribute small leaks from large distances

Fast Response Less than 1 second Quick response to small plumes

Highly SelectiveNo interferences from ambient compounds or higher hydrocarbons

No false positives

Calibration-FreeUtilizes Off-Axis ICOS – a first principles measurement technique

No need to calibrate the analyzer

Large Dynamic RangeMethane: 0.01 – 10,000 ppmEthane: 0.01 – 100 ppm

Enables leak quantification estimate

Fast Warm-Up TimeAbout 2 minutes from power on to data collection

Improves uptime and efficiency

Low Power Analyzer and pump only require 180 WCan power from a standard car battery power point

Wide temperature rangeOperates from -5 to +50 COperates from 23 F to 120 F

Can be deployed in a wide array of environments

Novara – Corrivo Leak Survey

▪ Corrivo, our Leak Survey software, is designed to meet our customer’s needs through managing geospatial data and access/publish web and mobile maps. The software offers 2 main components to users:

1. iOS Mobile Application for our field technicians to record breadcrumbs, leak locations, perform leak surveys, log billable items and more

2. Web Movement Portal that provides aerial imagery and other relevant base maps for our supervisors to configure projects, review collected data via the app and manage progress on worked assigned.

▪ Enhancing Heath’s ability to perform services and provide accurate and traceable data

▪ Interfacing with other Heath systems to deliver consistency in our business processes and increase productivity

▪ Uses Microsoft Azure as a hosting platform

Corrivo Software

▪ To accomplish this Heath partnered with Novara GeoSolutions for software development and will be using Esri’s ArcGIS platform to manage map data.
