Reduction of gas emissions: a challenge for the industry of tomorrow
The ecological transition is at the heart of industrial challenges. To meet environmental requirements, innovative technologies are emerging to improve safety and reduce the impact of industrial activities. Among them, tethered balloons equipped with artificial intelligence play a key role in detecting gas leaks and reducing the carbon footprint, particularly at sensitive sites such as nuclear power plants in France.
The Environmental Challenges of Industry
Industries face a dual challenge : securing their infrastructure and limiting their gas emissions. Incidents such as gas leaks pose major risks:
Environmental impacts
Air and ecosystem pollution
Financial consequences
Costs related to crisis management and compensation
Regulatory challenges :
Compliance with strict environmental standards, particularly for Seveso sites.
TETHERED BALLOONS: AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION
Tethered balloons, like the Horus solution developed by Lium, are revolutionizing the way sensitive industrial sites are monitored. These autonomous devices, equipped with advanced sensors, provide continuous and proactive detection.
Precise gas leak detection :
The onboard sensors measure in real-time the concentration of gases, thermal variations, and atmospheric anomalies.
360° surveillance :
Positioned at height, tethered balloons cover vast areas, including hard-to-reach spaces.
Immediate responsiveness :
Alerts are transmitted instantly, allowing for quick and effective interventions.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT THE HEART OF SECURITY
The artificial intelligence integrated into these systems significantly enhances anomaly detection and analysis :
Predictive analysis :
Incident anticipation through machine learning algorithms.
Reduction of false alarms :
The collected data is processed in real-time to ensure optimal accuracy.
Dynamic mapping :
Gas leaks are located and tracked for efficient intervention management.
REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH HORUS
In addition to enhancing safety, tethered balloons actively contribute to reducing the environmental impact of industrial sites :
Unlike drones or vehicles, tethered balloons require little energy to operate.
Fewer human trips for maintenance and monitoring, which limits CO₂ emissions.
Non-invasive sensors that are respectful of local ecosystems.
A SOLUTION SUITED FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
With its 56 reactors, France is a key player in nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants require cutting-edge tools to ensure safety while meeting environmental objectives.
At Lium, we are proud to provide a solution that addresses these challenges with Horus, our autonomous tethered surveillance balloon.
