Sniffer Robotics Expands into South America

In a strategic move to enhance environmental monitoring, Sniffer Robotics has announced a partnership with BRa Tecnologia Ambiental S.A., a leading environmental services provider in Argentina. This collaboration aims to address the escalating demand for effective methane detection technologies in South America.

Partnership Overview

The agreement allows BRa to join Sniffer Robotics’ Methane Analysis Partner Program (MAPP), gaining access to cutting-edge landfill methane detection technologies, including the innovative SnifferDRONE™ and the SnifferView™ GIS platform. Through this partnership, BRa will primarily focus on servicing landfill and renewable natural gas facilities in Argentina and Brazil, with aspirations to expand operations into neighboring countries such as Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru.

The alliance kicked off with a project at the BRa Norte III Environmental Complex, which stands as the third-largest active landfill globally located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Hector Carminatti, the CEO of BRa, praised the technology for enhancing safety and efficiency, stating, "The SnifferDRONE provided us with ease, speed, and a safer working environment. The quantification data and visual reporting offer our clients actionable insights to identify maintenance opportunities and enhance gas collection processes."

Innovations in Methane Detection

The partnership coincides with the launch of the SnifferDRONE CH4 Gen II, which has a significantly lighter payload that is compatible with most quadcopters available in the market. This model enhances Sniffer Robotics’ business strategy by providing a versatile solution for partners to utilize the technology effectively to monitor emissions. Improvements in this generation include advanced terrain-following algorithms, a user-friendly remote control with a built-in LCD screen, and enhanced detection capabilities for capturing lower concentrations of methane effectively.

David Barron, Chief Technology Officer at Sniffer Robotics, emphasized the advantages of the new drone design: "The SnifferDRONE CH4 Gen II delivers a vastly improved user experience while maintaining ease of operation. With double the flight time, we can conduct swift studies of landfill emissions, allowing us to remain the fastest surface solution on the market."

The Importance of Strategic Partnerships

Bill Tennant, CEO of Sniffer Robotics, articulated the significance of MAPP partnerships in scaling both international and domestic operations. He notes, "Our strategic collaborations are key components of our growth strategy, enabling us to deploy solutions that help identify emissions and play a critical role in mitigating harmful methane emissions worldwide."
