Undetected gas leaks are among the most dangerous risks in the oil, gas, and marine industries. Methane and other hydrocarbon emissions are invisible to the naked eye, yet they can cause devastating explosions, infrastructure damage, environmental harm, and costly insurance claims.

At Aeromarine Detection, we provide Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (LAS) Gas Detection & Mapping Services using advanced UAV-based technology. Our system delivers real-time, high-sensitivity detection of fugitive gas emissions—helping industries across Asia prevent disasters before they happen.


What is Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (LAS)?

Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (LAS) is a cutting-edge technique that uses highly sensitive lasers to measure gas concentrations with pinpoint accuracy. When mounted on UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), this technology can detect and map gas leaks across offshore platforms, pipelines, refineries, and marine facilities without disrupting operations.

By combining high-resolution spatial mapping with real-time leak detection, LAS provides operators with a complete environmental safety picture that traditional monitoring methods cannot achieve.

Benefits of Our UAV-Based LAS Gas Detection & Mapping


  1. Prevent Explosions in Populated Areas Early detection of gas leaks reduces the risk of catastrophic incidents near industrial zones, ports, and coastal cities.

  2. Protect the EnvironmentBy identifying fugitive methane and other emissions, our system helps minimize greenhouse gas release and protects sensitive marine ecosystems.

  3. Safeguard InfrastructurePipelines, refineries, and offshore rigs are highly vulnerable to gas-related damage. LAS monitoring helps identify issues before they escalate into costly failures.

  4. Reduce Financial & Insurance Losses Proactive detection prevents large-scale insurance claims, production downtime, and regulatory fines.

  5. Ensure Worker Safety UAV deployment eliminates the need for manual inspections in confined or dangerous environments, reducing exposure risks for personnel.
