Applications
Pipelines
Rapid methane screening across long pipeline segments
Use cases: post-maintenance checks, after construction/excavation near the pipeline corridor, and triage of suspected loss events
Especially valuable when ground access is difficult (remote terrain, crossings, restricted or slow access)
Aligned to LDAR workflows referenced in the EU Methane Regulation. MetScan helps teams run repeatable pipeline screening, organize the mission history in AIRINS.ai (AAI), and generate exportable inspection outputs that support follow-up actions and internal documentation.
Facilities
Rapid methane screening across sites, pads, stations and plants with distributed leak sources
Best for wide-area routine screening programs, post-maintenance checks (equipment and tie-ins), and targeted investigation safter abnormal readings, alarms, or operator observations
Especially valuable for large facilities where consistent repeat coverage helps focus follow-up on the highest-likelihood areas
Before conducting OGMP 2.0 Level 5 site-level top-down quantification, teams can use MetScan for preliminary screening to identify leak locations early and arrange timely repairs. This step helps reduce the gap between bottom-up and top-down methane emission quantification by improving source identification and follow-up verification, supporting better reconciliation.

Typical Workflow
Designed for long, linear assets. The UAV follows the pipeline corridor while MetScan runs a 1D roll-axis sweep to expand coverage across the corridor width, forming a continuous “belt” of geo-referenced methane measurements along the route. Belt Scan supports both waypoint flights and manual flights, making it suitable for fast coverage and repeatable screening passes across large segments.
Pipelines
For facility applications, select the scan mode based on the flight boundary and the coverage pattern you need.
Sector Scan screens a facility from the perimeter by flying a predefined sector/area pattern around the site boundary—useful when you need broad coverage without entering the site.
Belt Scan generates belt-shaped coverage within a defined area or shape (including flying inside a facility when permitted) by running a 1D roll-axis sweep to build a continuous band of geo-referenced methane measurements. Both modes can be executed via waypoint or manual flight.
