Advantages
Airborne Natural Gas Emission Lidar (ANGEL) Services combines the speed, efficiency and practicality of an aerial survey with the confidence and accuracy of verifiable data. ITT's ANGEL Services is the ideal way to fully inspect your Right of Way (ROW) while simultaneously verifying your pipeline's condition. And ANGEL Services frees up operation personnel to spend their valuable time repairing leaks, not looking for them.
Comprehensive And Productive
- Survey 1,000 miles per day — more than 100 times faster than current methods such as hand-held or vehicle-mounted flame ionization.
- Expanded coverage of your ROW. A 100 foot wide swath (versus 4-5 ft for hand held) ensures all emissions — even fugitive ones are detected.
- Virtually eliminates all accessibility issues such as terrain conditions and property access. No disruption to land owners.
Accurate
- Utilizing Global Positioning System (GPS) data and a computer-controlled optical scanning system, the ANGEL Services system constantly updates, self corrects, and maintains a precise target over your pipeline.
- Unmatched precision. The ANGEL Services system captures data and mapping to within 10 feet (3 meters).
- Utilizing field-tested algorithms, The ANGEL Services system eliminates false alarms by accounting for background hydrocarbon levels.
Cost Effective
- Eliminates/reduces the need for operations to make capital purchases.
- No need to maintain and calibrate sophisticated remote sensing equipment, manage complex field logistics, or regularly re-qualify specialized personnel.
- As an outsourced service, direct and indirect operating cost savings can be achieved.
- Better utilize your personnel — shift from finding emissions to managing them.
Meets Regulatory Requirements
- Developed in cooperation with the U.S. DOT and one other U.S. government agency.
- Supports directives of the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002.
- Fully ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified operation.
- U.S. DOT and EPA Natural Gas STAR compliant reporting.
