Abstract: Method for collecting video files of one or more Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) components, including receiving information pertaining to the one or more LDAR components within a specified area, recording a video of the LDAR components for a predetermined amount of time using a camera, associating the video with the information, and storing the video along with the information to a memory located in a computer.

Abstract: A method for verifying whether a technician is accurately monitoring one or more Leak Detection And Repair (LDAR) components. The method includes receiving a request to display an assignment. The assignment lists one or more LDAR components to be monitored in one or more areas. The assignment also lists one or more artificial LDAR components that do not exist in the areas. After receiving the request to display the assignment, the method includes displaying the assignment and receiving information regarding one of the artificial LDAR components.

Abstract: A method for maintaining one or more operating conditions within a battery operated flame ionization detector (BOFID). The method includes receiving one or more desired values that correspond to the operating conditions and receiving one or more measured values from one or more sensors configured to monitor the operating conditions. After receiving the desired values and the measured values, the method sends one or more commands to a controller disposed inside the BOFID to achieve the desired values based on the measured values.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques directed to creating, encrypting, and updating a database of position coordinates of LDAR components. In one implementation, the method for creating a database of coordinates of leak detection and repair (LDAR) components includes receiving an input pertaining to an LDAR component, obtaining position coordinates of a handheld computer device and associating the position coordinates of the handheld computer device with the LDAR component.

Abstract: Reigniting a flame in a volatile organic compound (VOC) detector in the event that the flame has gone out. In one implementation, a signal is received at a handheld personal computer indicating that a flame in the VOC detector has gone out. The flame in the VOC detector may then be reignited using the handheld personal computer and a Bluetooth enabled device facilitating communication between the handheld personal computer and the VOC detector.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a flame ionization detector (FID). The method includes receiving a request to schedule a calibration. After scheduling the calibration, a flow request command is sent to a gas distribution system at a scheduled calibration. The flow request command instructs the gas distribution system to provide a gas at a gas concentration level to the FID. After the gas distribution system provides the gas at the gas concentration level to the FID, the method includes receiving a raw count from the FID and correlating the raw count with the gas and the gas concentration level provided to the FID. The method then stores the results of the correlation in a calibration log.
