The Geotech GA5000 is a portable landfill analyser with an internal pump that complies with environmental legislation. The rechargeable battery allows up to 8 hours of use from a full charge. Designed to be easy to use, maintain, and calibrate. The GPS field navigator option allows planning and recording of the monitoring route.

It can monitor CH4, CO2, O2, H2S and CO. Up to six gases can be measured simultaneously, with NH3 and H2 options.

Modular design allows for initial or later purchase of bore gas flow, flow logging, and ATEX-certified anemometer.

A hydrogen-compensated Carbon Monoxide sensor is helpful in closed landfill sites, where Hydrogen can interfere with CO readings.
