Wyciek metanu (CH4) z infrastruktury takiej jak rurociągi czy zbiorniki magazynowe ma kluczowe znaczenie dla środowiska oraz stwarza zagrożenie dla bezpieczeństwa ludzi i mienia. Obecnie, po okresie bezawaryjnej eksploatacji, można zaobserwować wzrost liczby incydentów spowodowanych nieszczelnościami rurociągów przesyłowych.
W Polsce szczególnie problematyczne okazują się gazociągi, które powstały dekady temu. W tamtym czasie normy techniczne i przepisy budowlane były łagodniejsze niż obecnie obowiązujące. Integralność tych gazociągów jest trudna do skontrolowania, gdyż na etapie budowy nie zostały one przystosowane do badania tłokami pomiarowymi. Aby sprostać temu wyzwaniu, UDT poszukuje metod umożliwiających szybkie i niezawodne wykrywanie oraz lokalizowanie nieszczelności gazociągów na duże odległości.
This paper describes a wireless mobile prototype able to perform optical measurements by means of a miniaturized spectrometer for low light analysis, e.g. fluorescent sensors.
Evaluations, calculations, calibration management and result display are performed by a computer or a standard tablet. The device was designed primarily to detect traces of oil in drinking or ground water and for the analyses of crude oils. However, it can also address a wide range of fluorescent sensors. The fast and user-friendly inspection of water quality or oil properties, as well as the adaptability and mobility, make the device attractive for a variety of users. Further application areas could be easily implemented by adapting the optics and the software (database, data processing and calibration plots, etc.).

Small unmanned aircraft (UA) are used increasingly as flying sensor platforms. Amongst other things they are used for environmental monitoring, for example gas distribution mapping. Sometimes, these applications require knowledge of the ambient wind field, which can be measured by additional devices like anemometers. In general, it would be interesting to avoid such additional apparatuses. One way to achieve this is to estimate the wind vector, that is both the wind direction and speed, from the state variables of the UA.
Technische Richtlinien enthalten Empfehlungen sowie Anforderungen zum Stand der Technik zur Aufstellung von Bewertungskriterien und Behandlung wissenschaftlich-technischer Fragen. Sie fördern den Erfahrungsaustausch und Technologietransfer zwischen Entwicklern und Anwendern.
In unserem Beitrag stellen wir die Richtlinie VDI/VDE 3518 vor. Diese Richtlinienreihe definiert Begriffe, beschreibt den Aufbau und klassifiziert Multigassensoren (Blatt 1), befasst sich mit den Anforderungen für das Unterscheiden, Erkennen und mengenmäßige Bestimmen von Gemischen gasförmiger Stoffe und die Prüfung von Multigassensoren (Blatt 2) und gibt Anleitung für geruchsbezogene Messungen mit „Elektronischen Nasen“ (Blatt 3). Multigassensoren können als elektronische Nasen in Anlehnung an den biologischen Geruchssinn zur Wahrnehmung und Charakterisierung von Gerüchen eingesetzt werden. Die Spezifik von Multigassensoren besteht darin, dass durch die Wahl und Betriebsweise der Sensoren eine Vielzahl von geeigneten Messsignalen erzeugt werden, aus denen mit mathematischen Verfahren die für die Anwendung gewünschten Informationen extrahiert werden. Dazu ist ein Training der Messeinrichtung mit Proben bekannter Eigenschaften notwendig.
Diese Richtlinie soll Herstellern, Anbietern und Nutzern als ein Leitfaden Informationen und Erläuterungen für die korrekte und sichere Arbeit mit Multigassensoren liefern. Sie soll Prüflaboratorien und Anwendern helfen, bei der Beurteilung von Qualitätsmerkmalen einheitlich vorzugehen und dafür gemeinsame Randbedingungen anzugeben

Emissions of ammonia into the environment are mainly caused by agriculture, but also by combustion processes in waste and by road traffic. Even at low concentrations, this substance is not only an odour nuisance, but also a substance with ecological and climatic relevance. Therefore, BAM tested commercial electrochemical, and metal oxide based sensors, which have limited suitability for measuring in the environmental molar fraction range. Alternatively, own developments for the detection of ammonia in the trace range were implemented, wherein the analyte is measured by changing the fluorescence of a BODIPY dye at 550 nm by means of a portable fluorescence sensor directly from the gas phase. For the calibration of ammonia sensors and measuring instruments, a stationary system based on the mixture of certified test gases from pressure cylinders with calibrated mass flow controllers is available. A test gas generator was developed for on-site calibration and testing of sensors and measuring devices. The generation of ammonia-containing gases in the environmental relevant range of levels below 1000 nmol/mol is carried out by the permeation method according to ISO 6145-10. For the traceability of ammonia, standards are provided and further developed by the National Metrological Institutes and designated institutes. Metrological standards are based on SI units and are a basis for traceability of sensors or gas analysers.
Leaking methane from infrastructures, such as pipelines and landfills, is critical for the environment but can also pose a safety risk. To enable a fast detection and localization of these kind of leaks, BAM developed a novel robotic platform for aerial remote gas sensing. Spectroscopic measurement methods for remote sensing of selected gases lend themselves for use on mini-copters, which offer a number of advantages for inspection and surveillance over traditional methods. No direct contact with the target gas is needed and thus the influence of the copter downwash on the measured gas plume can be kept to a minimum. This allows to overcome one of the major issues with gas-sensitive mini-copters. On the other hand, remote gas sensors, most prominently Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors have been too bulky given the payload and energy restrictions of mini-copters. Here, we present the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), which combines a novel lightweight TDLAS sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile multicopter. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available systems and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO). It enables tomographic reconstruction of gas plumes and a localization of gas sources. We also present first results showing its performance under realistic conditions.
Leaking methane (CH4) from infrastructures, such as pipelines and landfills, is critical for the environment but can also pose a safety risk. Nowadays, after a period of failure-free exploitation, a significant increase in fires and explosions due to pipeline leakages, can be observed. Particularly problematic are the gas pipelines in Poland that were built several decades ago. At that time, the technical standards and building regulations were more lenient than those currently being in force. The integrity of the gas pipelines is difficult to inspect as they are not piston-optimized (they were not built for this purpose). To overcome this challenge, the UDT is looking for methods that enable a fast and reliable detection and localization of leaking pipelines over long distances.
The BAM has developed a robotic platform for aerial remote gas sensing that meets the expectations of UDT. Spectroscopic measurement methods for remote sensing of selected gases lend themselves for use on mini-copters, which offer several advantages for inspection and surveillance over traditional methods. No direct contact with the target gas is needed and thus the influence of the aerial platform on the measured gas plume can be kept to a minimum. This allows to overcome one of the major issues with gas-sensitive mini-copters. On the other hand, remote gas sensors, most prominently Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors have been too bulky given the payload and energy restrictions of minicopters. Here, we present the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), which combines a novel lightweight TDLAS sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile octocopter. It enables tomographic reconstruction of gas plumes and a localization of gas sources.
Currently, UDT and BAM are cooperating to develop and validate an effective leakage detection method based on the UAV-REGAS platform. We present first results showing its performance under realistic conditions. Depending on the results, UDT may use this platform in their inspection practice in the near future.
Temperature characteristics of a piezoresistive accelerometer for high impact shock application
(2018)
This study presents the characterization of a piezoresistive accelerometer damped with silicon oil for the application in drop tests carried out at BAM. Experiments were performed with the Hopkinson Bar method in close correlation to the real-world application conditions. The results point out certain limitations regarding the temperature influence and the frequency response. Additional experiments were performed with a gas damped type of piezoresistive accelerometer, which has superior specifications, particularly for low temperatures. The results allow for a comparison.

Wood treated with nano metal fluorides is found to resist fungal decay. Sol−gel synthesis was used to synthesize MgF2 and CaF2 nanoparticles. Electron microscopy images confirmed the localization of MgF2 and CaF2 nanoparticles in wood. Efficacy of nano metal fluoride-treated wood was tested against brown-rot fungi Coniophora puteana and Rhodonia placenta. Untreated wood specimens had higher
mass losses (∼30%) compared to treated specimens, which had average mass loss of 2% against C. puteana and 14% against R. placenta, respectively. Nano metal fluorides provide a viable alternative to current wood preservatives.
The presentation gives a brief overview of the main goals, the used methods and the first results of the PMARS OdourSense project. In cooperation with the Moulay Ismaïl University in Meknès (Morocco), a multi-gas sensor system for odour nuisance monitoring in outdoor air and a method for testing/calibration of such devices are being developed in this project.
Multi-functional coatings are a key requirement for surface engineering. General demands are adhesion and long-term stability under service conditions. The modification of surfaces by means of PVD-, ECD- or hybrid processes allows an add-on functionalization of surfaces by a huge diversity of materials with both lateral and vertical micro-/nano-designs. This fact is a prerequisite for micro- and sensor-systems in lab-on-chip and sensor-on-chip technology. Two layer-based sensor principles are presented, i.e. surface plasmon resonance enhanced spectroscopic ellipsometry (SPREE) for detection of hazardous gases and magneto-optical sensors on smart-coated fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) for structural health monitoring (SHM).
The interdependence of substrate features, coating properties, and layer design is discussed firstly for gas sensitivity and selectivity of SPREE-sensors and secondly for sensitivity and selectivity of magneto-strictive coatings to mechanical strain or external magnetic fields resulting in an optical displacement of the Bragg wavelength of FBG-sensors. Moreover, generic features such long-term stability, crucial process-related fabrication conditions, and effects of operational and environmental parameters are discussed with respect to the sensor performance. It has been shown that appropriate layer design and adapted selection of layer materials (SnOx/Au, Fe/Ni:SnOx/Au; Ni/NiFe-Cu-Cr) result in improved sensor parameters and may enable new sensor applications.
