U10 Methane Detection Workshop – SABIC

About the work

ATINUM delivered a specialized technical training focused on the U10 methane gas detector, including a clear explanation of the sensor specifications, detection capabilities, and operational requirements. The program also covered how to integrate the U10 payload with drone operations, including setup, calibration, flight execution, and safety considerations for gas inspection missions. Participants were guided through the complete workflow—from mission planning and data acquisition to interpreting sensor readings—ensuring reliable and structured methane detection operations in field environments.

Objective

• Explain the U10 methane gas detector specifications and sensing capabilities
• Train participants on proper payload setup, calibration, and operational readiness
• Demonstrate safe drone integration and flight procedures for methane detection missions
• Introduce inspection workflows from mission planning to reporting
• Improve team capability in executing structured and repeatable gas inspection operations

Goal

Enable operators to confidently perform methane detection missions using the U10 payload integrated with drone operations, following a clear and safe inspection workflow.

Outcome

• Clear understanding of U10 methane detector specifications, functions, and limitations
• Improved capability to operate and deploy the payload, including setup and calibration
• Enhanced readiness for drone-based gas inspection missions, with safe operational procedures
• Established a standardized methane detection workflow, improving repeatability and reliability
• Better interpretation of detection outputs, supporting actionable inspection results and reporting
