Supply and maintenance of hyperspectral remote sensing FTIR imaging and FTIR scanning system Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated

Reasons and backgrounds of the purchasing need: As part of the ASSET project, RIVM is investing in measuring instruments for the remote detection of gas emissions. These instruments, which work on the basis of passive infrared detection, are referred to as remote sensing equipment. With this technology, the RIVM wants to remotely map (up to kilometers) gas emissions, analyze them for concentration and composition, and visually present them via a three-dimensional view (tomography). The gas emissions to be monitored include emissions from industrial sources, emissions from long-term incidents (such as a leakage of an ammonia tank wagon), and, where technically feasible, greenhouse gas emissions, such as methane emissions from landfills. In doing so, RIVM aims to make a social contribution to the image of combating incidents and reducing unwanted emissions for the environment and the climate. A market survey shows that different devices are available, which vary in sensitivity, speed and the number of substances to be measured. Each device has both strengths and weaknesses. For example, a device that can be set up and switched on quickly can be slow in imaging during the measurement, so that irregularly moving gas clouds do not come into view sufficiently. Another device that can quickly perform measurements once it is set up can measure relatively fewer substances. That is why RIVM chooses to purchase two different remote sensing devices whose data is interchangeable, so that the strong properties of each device are exploited and a three-dimensional image can be formed. These devices must be operational from the third quarter of 2026 at the MOD of the RIVM. Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated
