Recon

RECON surveys distribution routes by vehicle, covering substantially more network miles per shift than a walking crew while detecting at parts-per-billion sensitivity. Beyond speed and coverage, RECON's ethane discrimination filters out biogenic gas sources before indications reach your investigation queue – which means fewer crew dispatches per mile surveyed and more real leaks found per shift.

Bottom line: More coverage per shift, fewer wasted dispatches, more real leaks found.

RECON outperforms other vendors on performance and price point. AMLD systems with high indication rates drive significant crew dispatches, many of which resolve as non-utility gas or undetectable conditions. RECON's ethane discrimination reduces the indication rate before a crew is ever dispatched. For programs with a high number of false positive indications, the cost to investigate offsets the platform cost, often substantially.

Bottom line: Fewer dispatches per mile means lower total program cost.

RECON uses mid-infrared spectroscopy with ethane  sensitivity that outperforms most standard AMLD configurations. The ethane measurement helps distinguish pipe gas from landfill or sewer gas in real time, before an indication enters the investigation queue. In programs where RECON data has been evaluated against existing AMLD data, RECON has produced significantly fewer indications per mile on the same route, with a higher proportion resolving as confirmed leaks.

Bottom line: Fewer total indications, higher leak find rate. The ethane channel is what makes the difference.

RECON installs in standard fleet vehicles without specialized modifications or additional infrastructure. Project Canary handles hardware setup, platform configuration, and crew training. Most operators are running surveys within days of deployment – no new fleet program, no capital procurement cycle, no extended onboarding period.

Bottom line: Running in days. No new vehicles required.

Detection data from RECON flows directly into SENSE Utilities: route data, indication locations, and GPS timestamps are available in the platform as surveys are completed. From SENSE, that data connects to Carbon Portal for emissions inventory and regulatory reporting. Survey outputs are also available as CSV and shapefiles for GIS and third-party system integration.

Bottom line: Field data flows from survey to platform to regulatory submission. No manual transfer required.
