Remote Methane Leak Detector for Pipeline & Utility Inspections
The ELLI Remote Methane Leak Detector is a professional handheld laser methane detector designed for natural gas utilities, pipeline operators, biogas facilities, and LDAR (Leak Detection & Repair) inspections. Using advanced TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology, ELLI detects methane leaks from a safe distance of up to 98 ft (30 m)—or 164 ft (50 m) under optimal conditions—allowing technicians to inspect elevated, inaccessible, or hazardous areas without direct contact.
Engineered for fast, safe, and efficient leak surveys, ELLI delivers methane readings in just 0.1 seconds while eliminating cross-sensitivity to other hydrocarbons. The integrated GPS, wireless data transfer, touchscreen interface, and visible green aiming laser streamline documentation and inspection workflows for utilities, renewable natural gas (RNG), biogas facilities, and industrial gas systems.
