Abstract：In order to be able to quickly, to a wide range of natural gas pipeline leakage monitoring, the remote detection system for concentration of methane gas was designed based on static Fourier transform interferometer. The system used infrared light, which the center wavelength was calibrated to absorption peaks of methane molecules, to irradiated tested area, and then got the interference fringes by converging collimation system and interference module. Finally, the system calculated the concentration-path-length product in tested area by multi-wavelength characteristics spectrum analysis algorithm, furthermore the inversion of the corresponding concentration of methane. By HITRAN spectrum database, Selected wavelength position of 1.65 μm as the main characteristic absorption peaks, thereby using 1.65 μm DFB laser as the light source. In order to improve the detection accuracy and stability without increasing the hardware configuration of the system，solved absorbance ratio by the auxiliary wavelength, and then get concentration-path-length product of measured gas by the method of the calculation proportion of multi-wavelength characteristics. The measurement error from external disturbance is caused by this innovative approach, and it is more similar to a differential measurement. It will eliminate errors in the process of solving the ratio of multi-wavelength characteristics, and can improve accuracy and stability of the system. The infrared absorption spectrum of methane is constant, the ratio of absorbance of any two wavelengths by methane is also constant. The error coefficients produced by the system is the same when it received the same external interference, so the measured noise of the system can be effectively reduced by the ratio method. Experimental tested standards methane gas tank with leaking rate constant. Using the tested data of PN1000 type portable methane detector as the standard data, and were compared to the tested data of the system, while tested distance of the system were 100, 200 and 500 m. Experimental results show that the methane concentration detected value was stable after a certain time leakage, the concentration-path-length product value of the system was stable. For detection distance of 100 m, the detection error of the concentration-path-length product was less than 1.0%. With increasing distance from tested area, the detection error is increased correspondingly. When the distance was 500 m, the detection error was less than 4.5%. In short, the detected error of the system is less than 5.0% after the gas leakage stable, to meet the requirements of the field of natural gas leakage remote sensing.
