• Detect four gases in one unit; our choice is total hydrocarbons, methane, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
• Use IR, single path technology. There are no mirrors to fog up.
• Built for continuous or intermittent operation,
• Built rugged for wide temperature extremes ranging from -40 to 85° C,
• Detect any organic compound that generates vapor pressure, including gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, alcohols, motor oil, etc.

Ellis Environmental developed the most advanced petroleum bioremediation system (SME) in the world, but wanted to make it better. How? Install the system in advance of a petroleum spill or release and then improve the release detection and response capability (patent pending as Release Detection, Response and Remediation or RDR² ). The concept was bullet proof except for one detail. There was no ability to detect diesel fuel or other high-molecular weight petroleum vapors in the release detection system. They scoured the internet and all of their contacts to see if anyone had a field sensor that could detect diesel fuel; it was a futile search. The bioremediation system also demanded the ability to detect oxygen and carbon dioxide in the ground. IntelliSolve, a research and development company assembled a team of engineers who produced the SME Sensor.

The SME Sensor can be adapted to any application that requires vapor sensing. Think of vastly improved sensing capability on environmental assessment sites, leak detection on ocean-going vessel tanks, crude oil pipelines, vehicle emissions, chemical plants and hazardous material response detection. The increased capacity means a safer environment and better information for decision makers.
