Challenge & Objective: Wind-Driven SO₂ Plumes
Coastal industrial corridors are governed by sea–land breeze cycles, which push, recirculate, and trap sulfur dioxide (SO₂) at different hours of the day. UUUFLY delivers a mission-proven solution that combines precise aerial survey, real-time pollutant detection, and live analytics so teams can locate emission hotspots, quantify plume behavior, and act with audit-ready evidence.
Dispersion at the Coast: Breeze, Terrain & Channeling
Daytime sea breeze: Plumes are pushed inland; band-shaped peaks can form 1–5 km downwind.
Nighttime land breeze: Recirculation toward the sea; nearshore and port areas may trap low-altitude plumes.
Channeling effects: Tanks, pipe racks, and buildings create jet–recirculation–eddy patterns that call for dense grid coverage.
System Architecture: Sensing × Mapping × Live Analytics
Sensors & Payloads
- SO₂ electrochemical sensor: fast response and light weight for equidistant transects and multi-altitude cross-sections.
- UV-DOAS / UV imaging (optional): plume sectioning and indicative flux estimation.
- Meteo module: wind speed/direction, temperature, humidity, pressure with attitude-aided wind vectors.
Data Link & Platform
- Second-level streaming: gas concentration + GPS + timestamp with robust buffering.
- Online heatmaps & isopleths: Kriging/IDW visualization with threshold alerts.
- Plume-tracking autoplan: adaptive re-routing driven by gradients and wind vectors.
- Action zones export: one-click GeoJSON/KML/CSV for remediation and EHS/ESG workflows.
Positioning & Mapping
- RTK/PPK centimeter positioning for accurate track keeping.
- Orthomosaic basemap: high-resolution RGB/multispectral for heatmap overlays and terrain cues.
Flight Plans & Operations: Best Practices for Coastal SO₂
- Upwind baseline: 0.5–1 km baseline to separate background from on-site contribution.
- Comb coverage: main-axis cross-sections + transect grid; altitude 60–120 m AGL; line spacing 40–80 m; speed 8–12 m/s; sampling 1 s.
- Dynamic re-planning: inject orthogonal cross-sections and along-axis tracking when new peaks appear.
- Quality control: zero/span checks, drift monitoring, RTK fix ratio, and link health.
Parameters must reflect local airspace rules, safety assessment, and on-site obstacles.
Deliverables & Use Cases: From Map to Action
- SO₂ heatmaps & isopleths: layered with plant boundary/roads/waterways to expose hotspots and dispersion belts.
- Plume axis & width: determine barrier placement and prioritization for remediation.
- Hotspot coordinates: stacks, flanges, loading bays—export to work orders instantly.
- Time-of-day contrasts: sea vs. land breeze; shift/operation changes and their impact.
- Flux screening (optional): section concentration + wind speed for boundary-line flux ranges.
Safety & Compliance: Fully Auditable
- Operational audit trail: flight path, raw sensor streams, calibration logs, and versioned records.
- Data integrity: complete gas–geo–time triad for disclosures and third‑party review.
- Open ecosystem: basemaps, vectors, reports, and APIs integrate with existing EHS/ESG/CMMS stacks.
