• This system uses an infrared sensor for hydrocarbon analysis detecting C₁ to C₃ (methane to propane).
• The gas monitor is CSA special acceptance approved for Class 1, Division 2 groups
  C & D explosive areas.
• The rugged, durable, aluminum enclosure is explosion proof and can withstand the tough environment of the drilling rig operations.
• The wireless modems have built in security to protect data transfer.

Wireless Benefits

• Eliminates the potential for poisonous gases to enter the geologist’s work area.
• Saves space in the geologist’s work area.
• It is safe, easy and quick to rig up.
• The absence of poly lines reduces freezing in cold weather.
• Gas content is read almost instantly increasing safety and accuracy.

Infrared Advantages

• Detects trace amounts of hydrocarbons.
• Provides excellent thin-bed resolution and fracture analysis.
• Has no known contaminants and works in the presence of moisture.
• Increased repeatability and sensor life.
• Optical filters allow specific wavelengths to be detected while ignoring heavier hydrocarbon gases (C₄ +).
• Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Hydrogen Sulphide, mud additives, etc. do not affect sensor readings.
• Infrared sensors are not susceptible to drift as are older technologies like Catalytic Combustion (CC) and Thermal Conductivity (TCD) sensors.
• Infrared sensors do not require a dilution factor or 'algorithm' as do other technologies.
• Non-destructive sampling method (no combustion of gas sample).
