Real-Time Gas Monitoring Above a Wastewater Treatment Tank.

Caption

This image illustrates the deployment of a novel coherent open-path spectroscopy (COPS) system at a wastewater treatment plant. The system monitors various gases, such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), showing fluctuating concentrations, while gases like nitrous oxide (N2O) and ammonia (NH3) exhibit stable levels. The system's ability to simultaneously detect multiple gases offers enhanced real-time monitoring of emissions from complex environments.
