Neptune Methane Leak Detection

Neptune Methane Leak Detection

Neptune Oceanographics’ unique SNIFFIT system for the detection of subsea leaks of hydrocarbons is a proven, real time, in situ method that has been used world-wide and has many applications in diverse underwater markets.

The small, lightweight detector combines with its control unit and Windows based software to warn the user of the presence of gaseous Hydrocarbons (such as methane) ahead of the more obvious physical clues such as the presence of bubbles.

The Sniffit was developed specifically to allow, real time in situ detection of dissolved and gaseous methane in water, whatever the source, and has been successful in hydrocarbon surveys to depths of over 3000m world-wide.
