Drone-mounted gas and wind sensors collect a vertical wall of readings downwind, with records transferred to cloud analysis. Analysts combine repeat flights to report gas release rates and mapped source contributions.
Quantifying a gas release across an industrial site gives operators a measured record for investigating source contributions. Explicit provides Drone Flux Measurement, its drone survey and analysis method, with gas and wind sensors, pilot feedback and cloud processing. The service follows a sampling plan for the represented site and reports release rates from the received measurements.
A drone carries integrated gas and wind sensors across a vertical wall downwind of the source. The survey intercepts the plume and correlates the readings in time and space to calculate gas flux across the inspected area. Pilot feedback supports data collection, while E-Lab, the cloud survey platform, receives measurements for processing and quality review. The final estimate uses data from at least three flights rather than a single pass.
Analysts validate the survey and provide quantified release rates with mapped flux information and source contributions. The client reviews the represented area and organizes the required source investigation. A standard REST API supplies structured JSON results with PNG flux-wall visualizations to selected emissions software, GIS or digital twin tools. Historical datasets support comparison with earlier campaigns. The workflow connects physical plume sampling, repeat-flight analysis and software data access for the site's operating review.
