The world has realized the negative environmental impact of methane emissions and is now embracing the need to identify and mitigate them. Sniffer Robotics has developed an advanced solution helpful in accomplishing this objective. The solution, referred to as the SnifferDRONE™, is an unmanned aerial system (UAS) featuring a drone integrated with Sniffer developed and patented technology. The SnifferDRONE collects a corpus of methane concentration (PPM) data at the ground surface, with location coordinates, in an efficient and effective manner. The information that results provides accurate and comprehensive methane leak locations and emission quantification. Though the SnifferDRONE was initially developed for the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill market (the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the US according to the EPA), it is also applicable for other land-based applications found in the renewable natural gas, mining, and other markets. Because of the SnifferDRONE’s ability to locate more leak locations, MSW sites are also successfully using the system to aid in the reduction of landfill odors. Sniffer is a “Technology Enabled Service” company utilizing advanced technologies and solutions to collect, analyze, and inform for action. The company offers a wide range of aerial (drone-based) services, field services, and is a provider and developer of Esri GIS mapping and spatial analytical software solutions. We endeavor to deliver clear and concise information through advanced tools and solutions, that engages and excites our clients to act.
