Notice Title

PURCON 1077 High-precision ethane and methane analyser suitable for deployment on a drone - AWARD

Notice Description

We are looking for a lightweight (<10 kg) including any additional items, gas analyser to make high-precision measurements of ethane and methane mole fractions in atmospheric air from a drone. To meet our needs, you must be able to demonstrate and consider the following; * Proposed analyser can make sub-hertz, high-precision measurements of ethane and methane mole fractions, as specified in the tender. * The analyser is suitable to make accurate measurements on a drone, to a height of approximately 200m above ground level, without jeopardising the instrument's performance. * The analyser can be integrated with a commercially available drone and that support will be given to facilitate this. * That the achievable precision of the analyser does not require any pre-treatment of the air being sampled (e.g., drying). * That the analyser is stable enough to be operated for a period of one hour without the need for in-flight calibration.
