A Cost Effective Multi-Spectral Scanner for Natural Gas Detection
ABSTRACT
The objective of this project is to design, fabricate and field demonstrate a cost effective,
multi-spectral scanner for natural gas leak detection in transmission and distribution pipelines.
During the first six months of the project, the design for a laboratory version of the multi-
spectral scanner was completed. The optical, mechanical, and electronic design for the scanner
was completed. The optical design was analyzed using Zeemax Optical Design software and
found to provide sufficiently resolved performance for the scanner. The electronic design was
evaluated using a bread board and very high signal to noise ratios were obtained. Fabrication of
a laboratory version of the multi-spectral scanner is currently in progress. A technology status
report and a research management plan was also completed during the same period.
