CI Sensing - Continuous Methane Emissions Monitoring Systems
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) has identified Methane (CH4) as having 80 times more warming power than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) over a 20 year span. Therefore it has been determined that the quickest way to reduce the impact on climate change is to reduce the release of methane into the atmosphere. Paving the way to positive change, most energy companies have set strict emissions reduction targets.
MetCam is helping to reach these goals by identifying emissions when they begin and sending the operator an immediate alarm with leak rate and gas plume image. Understanding where the leak is originating via a visual representation of the gas plume image is lightyears ahead of traditional point or open path gas detectors.
It also far exceeds the effectivity of periodical (handheld or portable) leak detection operations where the revisit time can be weeks or months.
Using MetCam`s patented dual-band technology, infrared signature of Methane is absorbed and quantified internally sending readings back to a central control panel and alarming when leaks are detected. Armed with this information prior to inspection, the field operator can arrive equipped with the proper tools they need reducing the amount of leak exposure, repair time, and lost profit.
How are these energy companies reaching their goals? Instrumentation like MetCam is essential in identifying emissions when they begin to reduce the amount of time emissions are escaping. Unlike traditional Method 21 leak identification, MetCam is a fixed continuous monitor that monitors for leaks 24/7.
