Why choose GasClam®?

Puts control back in your hands

GasClam® is the first unmanned in-borehole gas monitoring technology that can collect data continuously.

GasClam® allows the variability of gas concentration to be observed and measured helping the optimisation and operational control of coal seam and shale gas, landfill and development sites.

Reduces your risk

GasClam® enables you to continuously monitor gas concentration directly addressing factors associated with poor temporal resolution.

GasClam® continuously collects data, at user defined intervals, on a range of gases and environmental parameters:

  • Methane CH4
  • Carbon Dioxide CO2
  • Oxygen O2
  • Carbon Monoxide CO
  • Hydrogen Sulphide H2S
  • Volatile Organic Compounds VOCs
  • Atmospheric and borehole pressure
  • Borehole water depth

It’s remote

GasClam® can be deployed for up to two months between maintenance visits, dependent on sampling frequency and environmental conditions.

Data can be viewed within the GasClam® software or exported for analysis in Excel or csv supporting spreadsheet application. The settings of the GasClam® unit can be configured within the GasClam® software including the sampling frequency and alert notification.

GPRS telemetry is available as an optional extra, which provides remote data download and viewing via a dedicated web portal.

It’s safe and secure

Manufactured from stainless-steel, GasClam® is intrinsically safe (ATEX, ICEX and CSA) and environmentally sealed (IP-68 certified). Its patented design complies with EU Commission “equipment for explosive atmospheres” standards.

GasClam® fits securely inside a standard 50mm (2”) borehole and can be locked within the borehole head works for additional security.

It’s quick to install

GasClam® can be physically installed and collecting data in less than two minutes.
