  • Patent number: 12260060
    Abstract: A smart digital computer platform is disclosed that collects, analyzes, and/or renders appropriate information about fugitive emissions identified by a sensor network-based emissions monitoring system in a facility. More specifically to the methods used by the smart digital computer platform to analyze, filter, and transform the collected monitoring data into a visual output that is capable of being rendered on a graphical user interface (GUI) on a screen display with, in some embodiments, a restricted form factor. For example, smart analytics may be used to cull, filter, and transform the data displayed in a pop-up dialog box on a GUI. In another example, the transformed data may be translated into a visual, graphical element that conveys an abundance of appropriate, tailored information to a particular type of user viewing the GUI.

  • Publication number: 20250052637
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for inspection of a potential source location (PSL) at an industrial facility that has physical components, such as pipes and valves, that transport one or more gaseous materials. A computing device assist in refocusing a technician equipped with a network of mobile sensors and a handheld device/wand to detect a gaseous emission at the industrial facility. The mobile sensors capture measurements on a recurring basis to assist the technician responsible for operating the handheld device/wand to identify exactly which physical component located within a PSL at the industrial facility are causing fugitive emissions. The disclosed system and method update an initial PSL by considering the recurring measurements and/or other inputs (e.g., weather data) to reduce the area of the initial PSL, thus better instructing the mechanic to identify the fugitive emission.

  • Publication number: 20240319157
    Abstract: Computer systems, methods, and apparatuses for estimating changes in gas emissions are described. A computer system may monitor overall emission levels based on sensor outputs from a plurality of gas sensors in a facility. The computer system may estimate a total emission level over a time interval based on the accumulative, gas-response-factor weighted detections of the gas sensors. Emissions from maintenance activities may be excluded as appropriate. The total emission level may be compared with total emission level estimated from different time intervals and/or different facilities. The computer system may be further used for comparing emissions across multiple facilities, or emissions from facilities across multiple regions.
