Intelligent Drone Systems for Exhaust Gas Analysis and Environmental Monitoring in Marine and Atmospheric Environments

Intelligent Drone Systems for Exhaust Gas Analysis and Environmental Monitoring in Marine and Atmospheric Environments

Our company specializes in the supply, development, and integration of intelligent drone systems for environmental monitoring and harmful emissions analysis, with a strong focus on maritime transport. Our core activities involve the use of industrial-grade drones equipped with specialized sensors and probes for:
• Analysis of exhaust gases from ship engines, including sulfur and nitrogen compounds;
• Detection of any deviation from permitted norms, integrated with precise GPS coordinates, date, and time—providing legally admissible evidence;
• Identification of illegal or hazardous discharges of exhaust gases and fluids;
• Comprehensive environmental monitoring of marine and river waters;
• Visualization and tracking of pollutant trajectories to determine the source of contamination;
• Detection of explosive materials (mines, drones, and other devices) in marine environments.

Key Capabilities

Exhaust Gas Analysis via Drone

Our drones are equipped with specialized probes for sampling exhaust gases, enabling them to fly directly through smoke plumes emitted from ship funnels.
• Data on SOx, NOx, CO₂, CO, and fine particulate matter (PM) is transmitted in real time to a command center or to mobile devices of relevant authorities;
• The system compares the data against permissible thresholds and automatically flags violations;
• Applicable for monitoring ships in open waters, anchorage zones, or within ports;
• Capable of analyzing substances released into marine waters, including dockside, anchorage, or mooring points.

Atmospheric and Marine Environmental Monitoring

• Equipped with chemical sensors, spectrometers, and optical analyzers to detect toxic gases, particulate matter, and other harmful compounds in the atmosphere;
• Water quality analysis in marine and riverine areas – detection of oil products, chemicals, discharged fuel, ballast water, and tank-cleaning residues;
• Capability to localize pollution sources even in low-visibility or remote areas, including offshore spill detection;
• Generation of thermal, chemical, and visual contamination maps;
• Tracking function to automatically trace the path of a pollutant-emitting entity (ship, boat, platform) to the identified contamination site;
• Detection of polluters attempting to conceal their involvement – automatic trajectory reconstruction from polluter to the contaminated area.

Technical Components

Drone Platforms

• Industrial-grade drones from the Enterprice series, suitable for 24/7 monitoring and resistant to harsh marine conditions;
