Bohr
Vehicle-mounted leak detection technology to proactively detect gas leaks on our network

The Digital Platform for Leakage Analytics (DPLA) project is led by Cadent with Guidehouse as technology delivery partner. It aims to demonstrate a prototype for how data, analytics and innovative sensors can be used to identify, locate, and predict leaks in the gas distribution network.
The project is funded by the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF). Delivered in partnership with Innovate UK, the SIF programme taps into the best of UK and international innovation whilst aligning with other public innovation funding for the benefit of network users and consumers. Leakage is a continual focus when transporting gas over hundreds of miles of pipelines. The DPLA project will now deliver major advancements in the industry’s ability to monitor and reduce leakage from gas networks. This will not only contribute to Net Zero goals by reducing leakage related emissions but will also help to reduce costs for customers.

From July 2024, trials of in-field methane detection technologies are being carried out to assess the effectiveness of a technology in detecting, quantifying, and reporting on total emissions from an asset. The trialled technologies include vehicle mounted technology Bohr, continuous fixed sensor technologies Qube and Sensirion, handheld technology Distran and satellite captures from Satelytics. These technologies have the potential to feed data into the DPLA platform to identify and locate gas leaks in the gas distribution network.
The DPLA project is reliant on advanced technologies for data collection, modelling, analysis, storage and sharing. Through our webinars we aim at informing stakeholders on key novel technologies and trends to tackle leakage across our networks and their applications in the gas distribution and wider energy space, as well as sharing ideas on how we can innovate to rise to this challenge.
