West Systems Methane and Carbon Dioxide diffuse flux meter
The device measures methane and carbon dioxide emissions directly in the field. The operation of the device consists in taking air from above the soil surface, which accumulates in the accumulation chamber. Then, the components are fed into detectors connected in series, in which the concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide are determined. The device is equipped with two detectors: methane WS-CH4-TLD (range from 0.1 ppm to 10 vol%) and carbon dioxide LI820 (NDIR) (range from 0 to 20,000 ppm).
With the consent of the head of the Department of Energy Resources and under the supervision of the laboratory supervisor.
Possibility to determine the concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide over time. Determination of methane and carbon dioxide flux.
Methane detector WS-CH4-TLD (range from 0.1 ppm to 10 vol%) and carbon dioxide LI820 (NDIR) detector (range from 0 to 20,000 ppm).
Methane Flux Measurement range: from 0.5 mmol/m2/d to1000 mol/m2/d.
Carbon dioxide Flux Measurement range: from 1 mmol/m2/d to 300 mol/m2/d.
