Yes. Depending on the sensor configuration, the Flux Aero can monitor gases relevant to industrial, environmental and infrastructure applications. The ability to select different target gases makes the system adaptable to different survey requirements.

Yes. Because the Flux Aero can be configured for different target gases, JBUAS can help identify the appropriate configuration based on the application, target gas, required sensitivity, UAV platform and survey environment. Need advice on UAV gas detection?
Contact JBUAS to discuss the Flux Aero Gas Sniffer and the most appropriate sensor and UAV configuration for methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide or other gas-monitoring applications.

Yes. JBUAS specialises in integrated UAV sensor solutions and works with SPH Engineering and UgCS to provide drones, onboard integration, mission planning and data-processing solutions alongside specialist sensors.

It can support Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) workflows by identifying areas where elevated gas concentrations may indicate a potential leak.

A UAV can rapidly access large, difficult or potentially hazardous areas without requiring personnel to physically traverse the entire site. The Flux Aero can also provide georeferenced measurements, allowing areas of elevated gas concentration to be mapped and investigated.

Yes. UAV payloads can be configured for different survey requirements. For example, gas detection can potentially be combined with other inspection or geophysical sensors, subject to the drone’s payload capacity and electromagnetic/environmental considerations.

The system can be configured for different target gases. Whether multiple gases can be monitored simultaneously depends on the specific sensor configuration selected for the project.

Yes. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of the gases that can be detected using the Flux Aero, depending on the sensor configuration.

Yes. Ammonia (NH₃) can be monitored using an appropriately configured Flux Aero system.

Yes. Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) is among the gases supported by the Flux Aero configuration. H₂S monitoring can be relevant to wastewater, sewage, industrial and environmental applications.

The Flux Aero is a UAV-mounted gas sampling system that is designed to detect gases in the atmosphere. The Flux Aero takes air samples and measures the concentration of the target gas.

Yes. The Flux Aero can be configured for methane detection and used around anaerobic digestion and biogas facilities to help identify areas with elevated methane concentrations.

Yes. Methane detection is an important application for landfill monitoring. A UAV-mounted sniffer can survey areas that may be difficult or time-consuming to inspect on foot and identify locations requiring closer investigation.

Yes. The Flux Aero can be configured for methane detection and used to identify areas where methane concentrations are elevated. For applications requiring remote detection from a distance, the Falcon Plus laser methane mapper may be more appropriate.

UgCS SkyHub is the onboard computer used to integrate the gas sensor with the UAV. It receives sensor measurements, combines them with UAV telemetry and transfers the information to the ground station and UgCS software.

Yes. For methane applications, the system can export data for mapping and analysis, including formats such as KML, GeoJSON and Shapefile.

Yes. The Flux Aero is designed for UAV integration and can be supplied as part of a complete drone-based gas detection system.

The two systems use different detection approaches. The Flux Aero is a gas sniffer that samples the surrounding air directly. The Falcon Plus uses laser-based remote methane detection to identify methane from a distance. This means the Flux Aero can be particularly useful when measuring the concentration of gas within the sampled air, while the Falcon Plus can rapidly screen larger areas remotely.

Yes. Methane (CH₄) is one of the gases that can be monitored using the Flux Aero. It can be particularly useful for locating areas where methane concentrations are elevated, including potential leaks from gas infrastructure, landfill sites and anaerobic digestion facilities.

Depending on the configuration, the Flux Aero can detect: Methane (CH₄) Ammonia (NH₃) Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) Nitrous oxide (N₂O) Carbon dioxide (CO₂) The system can be configured according to the gas or gases that need to be monitored.
