Micro-Drone for Gas Measurement in Hazardous Scenarios via Remote Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing and the company AirRobot GmbH & Co. KG cooperate to develop a flying remote-controlled measuring system. The system is capable of operating in a variety of scenarios of gas emission, e.g. exhaust gas from a chimney, flue gas in case of a fire, gas emission in case of an accident of chemical or hazardous goods or in case of a terrorist act involving toxic gases. Another addressed field of application is spatially resolved emission control of geodynamic active regions, waste disposals, stockpiles, CO2 storage areas (CCS), industrial sites and pollution critical areas. Due to its mobility the system can measure the gas concentration in the immediate vicinity of the object which causes the emission. A further stage of extension is to enhance the system for plume-tracking and identification of gas sources.

Monitoring of CCS Areas using Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAVs)
Carbon capture & storage (CCS) is one of the most promising technologies for greenhouse gas (GHG) management. However, an unsolved issue of CCS is the development of appropriate long-term monitoring systems for leak detection of the stored CO2. To complement already existing monitoring infrastructure for CO2 storage areas, and to increase the granularity of gas concentration measurements, a qui...
متن کاملCouple Stress Effect on Micro/Nanocantilever-based Capacitive Gas Sensor
Micro/nanocantilevers have been employed as sensors in many applications including chemical and biosensing. Due to their high sensitivity and potential for scalability, miniature sensing systems are in wide use and will likely become more prevalent in micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M-NEMSs). This paper is mainly focused on the use of sensing systems that employ micro/nano-size cantilever...
متن کاملAnalysis of Chlorine Gas Incident Simulation and Dispersion Within a Complex and Populated Urban Area Via Computation Fluid Dynamics
In some instances, it is inevitable that large amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine gas are stored and used in facilities in densely populated areas. In such cases, all safety issues must be carefully considered. To reach this goal, it is important to have accurate information concerning chlorine gas behaviors and how it is dispersed in dense urban areas. Furthermore, mainta...
متن کاملThe Study of Pure and Mn Doped ZnO Nanocrystals for Gas-sensing Applications
ZnO and ZnO: Mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. The structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by XRD. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. Resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...
