FAQs

Q1: What is the SensorX FluX Aero? SensorX FluX Aero is a drone-mounted TDLAS methane sniffer module purpose built for high-precision methane quantification and emission mapping from the air. It delivers spatially resolved, ppm-level gas concentration measurements that enable accurate leak localization, plume modeling, and emission rate estimation (g/h) in compliance with the EU Methane Regulation.

Q2: Why is a TDLAS “sniffer” better than open-path TDLAS systems?

Q3: How does FluX Aero compare with other drone sniffers?

Q4: What’s the business case - can the FluX Aero help save inspection costs?

Q5: Why do oil & gas and landfill operators choose SensorX FluX Aero?

Q6: How does FluX Aero integrate with LDAR programs? FluX Aero seamlessly integrates into LDAR workflows. Data is geo-referenced and exportable into GIS, SCADA, or emission management systems, providing digital twins of methane plumes and automated leak prioritization based on severity.

In Summary
The FluX Aero - a drone-mounted TDLAS methane sniffer offers the precision of lab instruments, the reach of aerial systems, and the efficiency of automated monitoring - empowering operators to detect, quantify, and reduce methane emissions with confidence.

Testimonial

"Having experience with TDLAS gas detectors prior to trying SensorX Solutions, I found the integration and in-flight performance of FluX Aero to be simple, straight forward, and less prone to noise in the survey area. The ability to suspend the intake several meters below or in front of the aircraft allowed precise placement of the sensing capability, and facilitated over-water operations without the known issues associated with laser based sensors.”
