The hydrocarbon leakages from oil and natural gas manufacture, transportation and refinery units could be catastrophic, yet their leak detections are costly. We have developed a compact and ultra-low cost HC sensor that could be easily installed at valves and pipes to detect the HC leak.

Advantages of Our Technologies

• Low-cost and miniature design
• Low power and networked with RF frequency
• Based on C-Black Film Technology
• Utilizing MEMS Micro-Fluidic design
