Gas measurements

In recent years Solexperts specialised in in-situ gas measurements both in the gas phase and dissolved in groundwater. In France, a very successful cooperation was established with the Institut Georessources of the University of Lorraine and in Switzerland with the ETH and EAWAG. Several systems were successfully used in various rock laboratory experiments. The developed gas measurement technology is suitable for near-surface applications, but can also be used in deep boreholes.

Current applications 

• Exploration of CBM sites (Coal Bed Methane) in Lorraine
• Observation of steel corrosion and microbiological processes in repository demonstration experiments in the rock laboratories
• Experiments to prove the efficiency of geological barriers in the context of CO₂ sequestration
