Ion Science GasClam 2 Ground Gas Monitor
A Unique In-Borehole Gas Monitoring System Developed For Unattended Collection Of Long Term Real-Trend Ground-Gas Data.
The Ion Science GasClam 2 Ground Gas Monitor makes ground gas monitoring easy through its continuous measurement and collection of ground gas concentration data.
Using spot measurements to understand ground-gas behaviours can lead to uncertain or misleading results. Uncertainty exists as concentration changes over time and spot sampling only provides a snap shot of the ground gas at that instant.
The need for greater granularity of data was the reason for developing the patented Ion Science GasClam 2 Gas Monitor. GasClam 2 continuously measures and collects ground gas concentration data as well as parameters that are known to control it – subsurface pressure, and atmospheric pressure. In combination, this data reduces uncertainty by providing the full picture of what is happening below ground.
The GasClam 2 Gas Monitor also minimises the financial strain by reducing the number of site visits and also assists in adapting faster to legislative and policy change programs.
