SELMA Smart – Pump-Suction Laser Methane Detector

SELMA Smart is a pump-suction laser methane detector with wavelength locking technology for calibration-free CH4 detection in gas distribution networks.
 

Versatile, Easy-to-Use, Low-Maintenance Design

The SELMA Smart is a pump-suction laser methane detector engineered for reliable leak detection in gas distribution networks and field operations. Based on wavelength-locked TDLAS technology, it provides stable, methane-specific measurements without regular calibration. This reduces maintenance workload and keeps the instrument in continuous field service. The device can be installed on trolleys, electric carts, or vehicles to support mobile surveys across large areas.

SELMA Smart key features and advantages

  • Advanced wavelength locking technology for calibration-free operation

  • Up to 10 hours of operation on a single battery charge

  • Explosion-proof housing Ex ib IIC T3 Gb

  • Small size and weight

  • Moisture and dust resistance (IP66)

  • Fast response time 0.1 s

As the beam passes through the gas, some of the light is absorbed by its molecules. A sensor then captures the reflected light, and by analyzing how much was absorbed, the system determines the gas concentration.
The SELMA Smart combines advanced TDLAS laser technology with an active pump system to deliver fast and reliable methane detection. It draws in air samples and passes a laser beam through the gas. Thanks to wavelength locking, the laser remains precisely tuned to methane’s absorption profile. As methane molecules absorb part of the laser light, a sensor measures the change and calculates the concentration of methane in the air sample.

SELMA Dome G5 utilizes TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology that enables precise gas detection using a tunable diode laser. The laser emits a narrow beam of light at a wavelength that matches the absorption profile of the target gas.

Why leak detection matters

Methane monitoring, especially in urban areas, is essential not just for safety, but also for protecting the environment. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, trapping heat much more effectively than carbon dioxide. Even small leaks, if left undetected, can grow and seriously impact the climate. Regular monitoring helps detect leaks early, prevent dangerous situations, and control emissions in accordance with environmental regulations including the EU Methane Regulation.

Why Choose SELMA Smart

  • Calibration-Free Operation

    Wavelength locking technology maintains measurement accuracy without periodic calibration. This keeps the detector in active service rather than in the workshop.

  • Reduced Maintenance Costs

    No moving parts in the optical system and no gas suction in the detection principle reduce wear. Self-check and automatic calibration on startup ensure reliable performance with minimal maintenance input.

  • Mobile Survey Capability

    The SELMA Smart can be installed on trolleys, electric carts, or vehicles. This enables efficient surveys of large areas including urban gas distribution networks, pipeline corridors, and industrial facilities.
