Solution A: Methane Area Source Monitoring

PRODUCT : HT8600P

Applications: Farmland, pasture, wetland, forest, and other flat open areas.

Target Data: CH4 concentration and flux.

Method: Eddy Covariance (EC) method for flux calculation.

System Configuration: HT8600P, ultrasonic anemometer, data acquisition module, power module (solar/battery), cleaning module (optional).

Data Processing & Display: OpenFlux online flux calculation software (an open-source project initiated by HealthyPhoton, compatible with all HT Analyzers), HT Cloud platform (real-time data display/download, instrument status monitoring, area source footprint).

Cases:

Long-term high-frequency monitoring of methane and ammonia concentration and flux is achieved by setting up flux towers and open-path greenhouse gas analyzers in target areas like farmland and forest canopies. The compact solution allows for integration of additional functions on the flux tower.

Solution B: Methane and Carbon Dioxide Synergy Monitoring

Applications: Farmland, pasture, wetland, forest, and other flat open areas.

Target Data: CH4/CO2 concentration and flux.

Method: Eddy Covariance (EC) method for flux calculation.

System Configuration: HT8600P, CO2/H2O open-path analyzer, ultrasonic anemometer, data acquisition module, power module (solar/battery), cleaning module (optional), other component analyzers (optional).

Data Processing & Display: OpenFlux online flux calculation software (an open-source project initiated by HealthyPhoton, compatible with all HT Analyzers), HT Cloud platform (real-time data display/download, instrument status monitoring, area source footprint).

Cases:

An environmental monitoring center set up a CH4/CO2 eddy flux synergy observation system in a wheat field to monitor area source carbon flux in farmland.

Solution C: Methane Concentration Mobile Monitoring

Applications: Urban areas, suburbs, nature reserves, and any areas of interest (no scene restrictions).

Target Data: CH4 concentration distribution along the monitoring route.

Method: Mobile monitoring.

System Configuration: Mobile monitoring vehicle, HT8600P, data acquisition module, other component analyzers (optional).

Data Processing & Display: HT Cloud platform (real-time data display/download, instrument status monitoring, mobile monitoring concentration map).

Cases:

The analyzer's power consumption is around 30W, making it suitable for vehicle-mounted use. The mobile solution uses a new energy vehicle platform (minimizing the impact of vehicle self-emissions) and is equipped with a high-frequency sampling open-path GHG analyzer. This allows for the creation of GHG emission maps in industrial and agricultural areas, making it an excellent choice for long-term, regular monitoring of GHG emissions in traffic-dense areas by research.

Solution D: Methane Point Source Monitoring - Plume Method for Emission Source Intensity

Applications: Heavy emission factories, coal mines, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, barns.

Target Data: CH4 emission intensity (g/s) from the emission source.

Method: Inverse Gaussian plume method.

System Configuration: Mobile monitoring vehicle, HT8600P, data acquisition module, other component analyzers (optional).

Data Processing & Display: HT Cloud platform (real-time data display/download, instrument status monitoring, mobile monitoring concentration map).

Monitoring Method & Steps:

1. Place fixed wind speed monitors near the emission source to observe wind direction and speed, and select stable wind periods.

2. During the selected period, the vehicle-mounted atmospheric ammonia monitoring system drives back and forth along a downwind route at least five times to capture reliable concentration data.

3. Using the ammonia concentration data along the entire sampling line, GPS positioning data, and wind direction and speed data from the fixed wind speed monitors, combined with the Gaussian plume model, the emission intensity of the emission source is back-calculated.

Solution E: Methane Point Concentration Monitoring

Applications: Residential areas, traffic-dense areas, and any monitoring points of interest.

Target Data: CH4 concentration.

Method: Point concentration monitoring.

System Configuration: Portable monitoring cabinet, HT8600P, power module (solar/battery), other component analyzers (optional).

Data Processing & Display: HT Cloud platform (real-time data display/download, instrument status monitoring, point monitoring concentration map).

Monitoring Method & Steps: Place the cabinet containing the analyzer at the monitoring point, no additional protection devices are needed to measure ambient methane concentration. The cabinet can be moved to a new monitoring point as needed.
