With MicroGuard™, walking surveyors can pinpoint leak locations as well as generate and share comprehensive digital reports within minutes. MicroGuard™ can detect, locate, and map natural gas leaks faster and more reliably than any other technology.
Find leaks fast
Leak surveyors no longer need to use slow, outdated and insensitive equipment to detect gas leaks within distribution pipelines, storage facilities, or anywhere within the natural gas infrastructure.
This unique portable gas leak detection solution comprises ABB’s LGR-ICOS™ ultrasensitive gas analyzer, a ruggedized phablet (large phone/tablet) with GNNS capability and high-brightness screen, an ergonomic air sampling wand, and proprietary software.
MicroGuard™’s advanced software provides a rich graphical user interface, a computational platform for geospatial mapping and advanced analytics, and also automatically produces investigation reports compatible with all major geographic information systems.
Most importantly, MicroGuard™ can integrate drive survey data (emissions indications), recorded and shared in the cloud by MobileGuard™, to enable walking surveyors to pinpoint sources in minutes.
