Bloodhound

The Bloodhound is a portable carbon dioxide detector developed especially for the detection of people hiding behind doors. It works by detecting the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in human breath and is designed to assist security teams as they undertake risk assessments upon entering a room.

The Bloodhound is lightweight, portable and operates silently. It can be carried easily – and, if required, hidden away quickly. The unit is specially designed to slide under a door to take a reading and can be mounted on the end of a telescopic pole so that operators can use it from a safe distance.

The instrument is robustly manufactured, allowing it to be used in very challenging environments. It is simple to start-up and easy to use, so that gas analysis takes place rapidly after deployment.

In often high-pressure situations, the Bloodhound behaves like its canine namesake: robust, reliable and always accurate.

Biogas monitoring and analysis

Across the world, biogas has become an important source of renewable energy. Globally, the biogas capacity was 15GW in 2015. 10GW of this was located in the EU alone, where fully half of this capacity was dedicated to heat generation

Gasification/Syngas

Our Syngas Click! System is a purpose-built software package that intuitively enables users to monitor and analyse gas levels on a continuous basis.

Hidden Person Detection

In a range of situations, detecting individuals in confined spaces can be of critical importance. From security operations to rescue missions, assessing quickly and accurately whether hidden persons are present is of urgent importance.

Land Remediation

An ex-landfill site must be managed effectively, if the effects of landfill gas and other atmospheric impurities are to be mitigated. Gas Data has long provided our land remediation clients with tools that easily and effectively take the measurements they need to keep their sites safe.

Landfill Gas Monitoring and Analysis

As the organic matter in landfill sites decomposes, it produces landfill gas. This gas can be collected using boreholes and used to run an engine for electricity and heat.

Odour Monitoring and Control

When organic matter decomposes, the hydrogen gas (H2S) that is produced can cause a “rotten” smell. Since H2S is associated with high toxicity levels, that smell is a warning sign. The question is how to measure the gas more reliably than by odour – or how to demonstrate that a bad smell a sign of anything more sinister.

Upgrading/Biomethane Generation

Biomethane is all about purity. All biogas plants are a green source of methane, but the methane concentration is not high enough for use as gas in the national distribution network.

Waste Water and Sewage Treatment

At Gas Data, we have long-standing expertise in two areas often critical to the smooth maintenance and management of waste water and sewage sites: anaerobic digestion and odour management.
