GAS ANALYSIS SYSTEM

Abstract:

A gas analysis system includes a scanning platform configured to direct a plurality of light beams over a target area. The scanning platform includes emitter spectroscopy assembly configured to emit the plurality of light beams toward respective target surfaces of the target area, receive a plurality of reflected light beams from the respective target surfaces, and determine a spectral intensity of each reflected light beam of the plurality of reflected light beams. Moreover, the scanning platform includes a main controller receive the feedback from the spectroscopy assembly indicative of the spectral intensity of each reflected light beam of the plurality of reflected light beams and determine a volumetric characterization of a gas plume based at least in part on the spectral intensity of a reflected light beam of the plurality of reflected light beams.
