GasClam 2 Brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: The GasClam 2 is the world's first continuous borehole gas monitor designed for unattended long-term ground-gas data collection. It provides unrivaled gas detection capabilities for methane, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen sulphide, and VOCs.

Key Features:

Continuous monitoring of gases and pressures with configurable logging intervals.
Battery-powered for over 3 months, with an external power option for extended use.
Intrinsically safe for explosive atmospheres and discreet installation.

Key Benefits:

Optimizes site management and reduces risks through continuous monitoring.
Supports regulatory compliance and best practices in ground-gas monitoring.
Reduces site visits and monitoring program lengths, offering cost-effective solutions.

Ease of Use: The system fits standard boreholes and uses simple PC software for data analysis, reducing the need for frequent site visits.

Applications: Suitable for brownfield site investigations, landfill monitoring, shale and coal bed methane site monitoring, vapor intrusion studies, waste management, and refinery monitoring.

Technical Specifications:

Gas detection methods include infrared and electrochemical sensors with specified ranges and accuracies.
Power options include lithium primary cells, alkaline cells, or rechargeable battery packs, with external power supply options.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, IP68 rated for continuous submersion, and operates in temperatures from -20°C to +50°C.
Approved under various international standards including EMC, ATEX, CE, IECEx, and CSA.

Accessories: Includes external power supply cable, communication adaptor, and external level sensor.

Conclusion: The GasClam 2 offers a comprehensive solution for continuous ground-gas monitoring, providing reliable data for effective site management and regulatory compliance.

Atmospheric Pressure mBar ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE Continuous ground gas monitoring Using spot measurements to understand ground-gas behaviour can lead to uncertain or misleading results. Uncertainty exists as concentration changes over time and spot sampling only provides a snap shot of the ground gas at that instant. Considerable published material from experts who measure ground-gas and perform risk assessments, question whether traditional methods of collecting data are adequate. The need for real time of data was the reason for developing the patented GasClam 2. GasClam 2 continuously measures...
