Pipelines often cross inaccessible terrain to supply industrial and domestic gas. Operators of these networks must ensure the safety, integrity and reliability of their pipelines but accurate detection of odorless and invisible gas leaks can be challenging and expensive. ABB’s latest addition to its ABB Ability™ Mobile Gas Leak Detection System, HoverGuard™, provides the solution by finding leaks faster and more reliably than ever before.
悬停的守卫检测，量化和地图泄漏距天然气分布和传输管道，收集线，存储设施以及其他潜在来源可快速，安全，可靠地泄漏100米。它会自动生成综合的数字报告，总结结果，可以在调查后的几分钟内共享。
与云连接的多气体解决方案也是第一个基于无人机（UAV）的系统，可在飞行时连续量化三种最重要的温室气体，二氧化碳和水蒸气。每种温室气体对环境的影响不同，并以不同量的空气存在。分析仪的极快响应和高精度使科学家和研究人员可以可靠地量化温室气体通量，这些温室气体通量在研究影响气候和污染的复杂环境过程时提供了重要信息。

ABB Hoverguard™行动
ABB's comprehensive gas leak detection platform to detect, map and quantify leaks with unprecedented speed, reliability and accuracy throughout the entire natural gas infrastructure, including upstream, midstream, downstream, and gas utilities.
获得专利的腔体增强的激光吸收光谱检测甲烷的灵敏度比常规泄漏检测工具快1000倍和10倍以上。这种敏感性和速度使悬停的守卫能够在40米或更高的高度和大于88 km/h的高度飞行时检测泄漏。通过在低成本商业无人机上运行能够携带有效载荷3公斤的低成本商业无人机，它可以覆盖每分钟增加10-15倍的土地面积。

“HoverGuard represents an important step-change in gas leak detection and for the environment.” said Doug Baer, Ph.D., ABB Global Product Line Manager of Laser Analyzers. “Previously inspectors had to rely on slow, qualitative, analog sensors or expensive delicate cameras to find leaks. Our groundbreaking solution effectively probes locations otherwise inaccessible by either walking or driving. It will increase safety across the pipeline network whether in remote or urban environments, by detecting and mapping natural gas leaks around hard-to-reach sites such as bridges, areas with right-of-way restrictions or vegetation coverage, gas storage assets and pipelines.”
HoverGuard complements ABB’s existing gas leak detection offering with the vehicle-based MobileGuard™, hand-held MicroGuard™ and stationary EverGuard™ (to be launched later in 2021). They are all designed to operate independently. Combining them provides the most comprehensive platform to detect, map and quantify leaks with unprecedented speed, reliability and accuracy throughout the entire natural gas infrastructure, including upstream, midstream, downstream, and gas utilities.
