ASTANA, Kazakhstan, May 16. QazaqGaz Aimaq will
use drones equipped with methane detection systems to monitor gas
networks and detect leaks, Trend reports via the company.
According to the company, the initiative is aimed at improving
industrial safety through remote monitoring technologies.
One of the key tools to be deployed is an unmanned aerial
vehicle equipped with a BL-CH4 laser methane detector capable of
surveying gas pipelines from the air.
The system detects methane through laser beam absorption,
allowing operators to identify leaks without direct contact with
pipelines and accurately determine their location even from a
distance.
The company noted that the technology will help improve
infrastructure monitoring and increase the reliability of gas
supply systems.
