Sensor manufacturer

Sensor manufacturer’s Methane Track is a low-cost network of rugged monitoring points tomeasure methane emissions and report leak location and size to the operator.

Utilizing an Industrial IoT (IIoT) network to detect methane in the air, MethaneTrack detects fugitive and operational emissions from a site and immediately alerts the operator of the location and volume of the emissions, facilitating rapid response and repair. Autonomous, continuous monitoring enables up to a 99% reduction in emissions while reducing operational costs and boosting profits.

Technology Stack

• Python
• Laravel
• GoLang
• PostgreSQL
• Google Earth Integration

Objectives

• Detect Methane Emissions
• Leak Location
• Leak Size
• Report Leakage
• Reduce Operational Cost

Challenges

• Methane isn’t only an environmental threat. Methane leaks can result in stiff regulatory fines for many gas companies.
• Detecting methane leaks is also crucial in maintaining a safe workplace for the oil and gas industry. Methane is an odorless, colorless gas that is highly flammable and combustible at 100% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) concentrations.
• There is no room for error regarding methane emissions and leaks. The environmental impact of methane is dire. And these leaks can pose a tremendous risk to health and safety if they contribute to an explosion. Reliable gas detection technology is the best way to find a leak early and stop it quickly.

Solution

Sensor Manufacturer’s MethaneTrack system is a comprehensive solution that provides low-cost, continuous measurement and quantification of methane emissions to enable rapid abatement. Proprietary silicon detection technology (or the MPS) offers five years of battery-powered, maintenance-free operation and emission reductions of up to 99%. SaaS-based data analytics provide quantification and localization of emissions through a customizable interface to monitor assets worldwide.
